What is the best way to get help when stranded on your roof during a flood?

This is almost a trick question. It could have a lot of good answers but for the ones given, there is only one. A fire on the roof of your house is not advised. Sending someone for help endangers that person and yourself by leaving you alone to deal with what may come. Waving your arms is actually a signal that all is fine. The proper hand signal is a V for "needs help" or X for "have injuries and needs help."
