<br />28 <br /> <br />a person pulled over in a Winnebego is camping or merely taking a short <br />break in a drive. To answer questions about the actions of victims, a <br />study focussing only on the dead will be necessary. <br />The third research area suggested by this study involves the time <br />frame for response to a flash flood warning. Throughout the research and <br />presentations of the findings, people have asked whether or not they would <br />have time to drive out of danger rather than climb the canyon wall. In <br />the Big Thompson some who drove lived, and it may be easier to get people <br />to drive out of danger than to climb a slippery, cold canyon wall. How <br />much time there is from a first warning or environmental cue to an impact <br />is visible only after the event and, therefore, the recommendation is made <br />that one should climb immediately following a warning. Some refinement of <br />the time frame for specific hazardous locations would be useful in the <br />decision of whether or not to adopt emergency flood proofing measures or <br />to collect valuables, papers and pets, as well as to evacuate or climb. <br />
