Wild animals will often seek higher ground which, during floods, eventually becomes submerged or surrounded by water creating little islands. The animals become stranded. If the island is large enough and provides suitable shelter, you can leave food appropriate to the species (i.e., sunflower seeds for squirrels, corn for deer) Animals have a fight or flight response and generally the flight response will take precidence. They will naturally flee from people approacing. If the animals threaten to rush into the water, back away from the island or you may frighten the animal into jumping into the water and possibly drowning to escape from you.
