@afteractionmedia: In March 1913, days of relentless rain transformed rivers across Ohio into deadly torrents. Dayton was submerged, Columbus and other communities were devastated, fires broke out amid the floodwaters, and hundreds of people lost their lives. But this story isn’t only about destruction. The Great Ohio Flood of 1913 changed how communities thought about flood protection, emergency response, and resilience. From National Cash Register workers building rescue boats to the creation of a flood-control system that still protects Ohio communities more than a century later, the disaster left lessons that remain relevant today. As an Ohio native, I wanted the first historical disaster covered on After Action: History Disasters to come from the Buckeye State. History Retold. Lessons Learned. @afteractionmedia
