A life jacket is what can help save you once you exhaust yourself fighting against a torrent of water. If you need to do something a bit reckless to save yourself or someone else, then it can help you catch your breath a bit and keep your head above water.
The thing is, if you are needing to rely on a lifejacket, the situation may already be a bit desperate. If you are able to get some kind of an early warning system, then that will go a lot farther at helping you get to safety. Getting a lifejacket could help make a difference if you are in a potential flood zone.
You would hope that no houses would be built in potential flooding zones, but that involves pesky things like ‘regulations’ or ‘caring about other peoples lives’.
Coming from South Mississippi, it’s up to Alabama as to whenever they decide to open their flood gates as to how many feet of water we get in a flood.
Hurricane Sandy flooded us deeper than Hurricane Katrina. Alabama has proven more than once that they don’t give a shit about us down here.
Flood zone maps are only useful when those pesky humans don’t intervene and open up flood gates and dams and shit. Oh, and humans literally created those things.

A warning like a map of where the most dangerous fast moving flood waters will be? A place where cabins should not be built?
