【2025原创】A flood occurs when water overflows onto normally dry land,
often due to heavy rain, storms, or dam failures. It can develop slowly or strike
suddenly as a flash flood, damaging homes, roads, and power lines. Knowing
your area’s flood risk and signing up for emergency alerts can help you stay
prepared.

Before a flood, act quickly to ensure you have flood insurance, as standard
homeowner’s policies typically don’t cover flood damage. Immediately create an
emergency plan with your family, including clearly marked evacuation routes and
a well-stocked, waterproof kit with essential food, water, and important documents.
Swiftly protect your home by clearing drains and moving important items to
higher floors for safety.
During a flood, always evacuate immediately if told to do so. Never walk,
swim, or drive through floodwater—just about 15 cm of fast-moving water can
knock you down. Avoid bridges at all costs, as they may collapse without

warning. If trapped, quickly move to the highest point available and signal for
help using bright colours or loud noises.
After the flood, always wait for officials to officially declare it safe before
returning. Wear hard protective gear when cleaning up, and carefully watch for
dangers like downed power lines or contaminated water. Avoid using generators
(发电机) indoors under any circumstances due to carbon monoxide
(一氧化碳) risks, which can be fatal within minutes.
Always remember: Even shallow floodwaters are extremely unpredictable—
never underestimate them, and without exception, always prioritise safety.#7
