Self protection guide during floods 01

Flood, a phenomenon caused by natural forces such as rainstorm, rapidly melting snow or storm surge, can cause the water level of rivers, lakes and even oceans to rise sharply. This unpredictable natural disaster may not only lead to drowning accidents, but also trigger outbreaks of infectious diseases after the disaster, posing a serious threat to our life safety. So, how should we protect ourselves when a flood comes?

1、 Prepare in advance

Always pay attention to weather forecasts, and be prepared in advance if there is a risk of flood disasters. Reserve necessary food, drinking water, warm clothing, and communication and daily necessities. Also, don't forget to prepare some commonly used medical supplies. Ensuring the safety of valuable items is also very important.

2、 Stay alert

If you live near rivers, coastal areas or low-lying areas, continuous rainfall or heavy rainstorm may cause floods. At this point, you should closely monitor flood warnings and frequently observe changes in water levels around you. Even at night, it is necessary to remain highly alert and be prepared for safe transfer at all times.

3、 Residents in mountainous areas need to pay special attention

For mountainous areas, continuous rainstorm may cause mountain torrents. Therefore, residents in mountainous areas should not only closely monitor changes in the mountains, but also promptly relocate to safe areas. During the transfer process, special attention should be paid to the dangers of landslides, rolling stones, and mudslides, while avoiding crossing rivers to prevent being washed away by flash floods.

4、 Prevent floods from entering the house
