Though the causes of floods are unavoidable, preparations before, during and after a flood can make a difference.
Before a flood occurs, we must do something that can reduce the risk to people and their valuables. Firstly, you should prepare disaster supplies like a light source, sleeping bags, and at least three days of food and drinking water. Secondly, you should bring the most important objects to the upper levels of your house. In this way, they will not be washed away by the flood.
During a flood, it’s important that you should leave where you are immediately and move to higher ground. Don’t walk or drive through the moving floodwater, since as little as 15 centimetres of moving water can knock an adult down and 60 centimetres can wash most cars away.
After a flood, listen for official news report and find out when it’s safe to return to your home. As you return home, watch out for possible dangers. Keep away from the floodwater. It may be polluted, so don’t touch it.
