Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The phrase "out of the woods" is an idiom. In the given context, the town was in a dangerous situation (river rising dangerously high after a storm). The expression "not out of the woods yet" implies that the danger hasn't completely passed. The meaning "safe after being in danger" fits this context as it shows that the town is still in a precarious situation (not safe yet, i.e., not out of the danger - related "woods"). The other option "sudden and unplanned" has no relation to the context of danger and safety.

Answer:

safe after being in danger
