Water is insanely powerful. As others have said, it could help you get tired swimming. It will not save you if you get pinned, or trapped in hydraulics, like the deadly ones at the bottom of weirs (those low dams, extremely dangerous. You get maytagged until you drown)
The best thing is to not live in flood plains or ecologically risky areas if you can. Research flood maps before moving somewhere. Extreme weather events will become more and more common as the planet deteriorates, unless we dramatically change our emissions, which is not a priority, apparently.
