Floods and floods represent natural disasters that occur frequently and bring devastation, profoundly affecting the health of affected communities. It is vital to understand how these events impact both physical health, especially about communicable diseases, and mental health, including problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as other psychosocial aspects. This theoretical study was based on a broad literature review carried out between January and June, analyzing publications on hydrological phenomena and enriched with casestudies from various regions of Brazil. The discussion also explored how public policies and cooperation between different sectors can be essential strategies for reducing the damage from these disasters and managing related risks.
