A person should be prepared for flood anytime, especially the ones living in low lying regions, natural basins, coastal areas or by the banks of any major river.
- Before Flood: Build an emergency kit with water, food, flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, other medication, sanitation and personal hygiene items, copies of personal documents, cell phone with chargers, extra cash, emergency blanket, extra clothing, hat and sturdy shoes, rain gear, insect repellent and sunscreen.
- During a Flood: Look for higher ground or go to the roof, listen for updates and evacuation programmes, keep utilities powered off, stay clean, keep a check on your household drainage systems.
- After a Flood: Check the news for updates, avoid flood waters, keep your home clean, avoid electrical wires and be alert for gas leaks, repair sewage systems, disinfect everything.
