✅ 1. Before the flood (Prepare as ready as possible)

Prepare the necessary equipment.

Dry food and drinking water for at least 2-3 days

Archives with waterproof envelopes such as ID cards, deeds, account books

Explore the house.

Moving power plugs, electrical appliances, important things up high.

Turn off the electric Maine switch before the water arrives.

Make temporary barriers, such as sandbags.

Plan escape.

Know the safe way out of the house.

Inform the people of the house to know the meeting point of the case separately.

✅ 2. During the flood (Survive as safe as possible)

Don't drown with recklessness.

Avoid walking in the turbulent water.

If walking is required, use a long stick to knock the ground, check the hole or obstacle.

If hit by water, release the float and swim obliquely out of the stream.

Beware of electrical leaks.

Do not handle electrical poles or wet appliances.

If you're in the house and the water starts to flood, rise immediately.

Notify the Electricity Authority if you see a power line falling into the water.

Find a safe place.

Up high ground, such as the second floor of a house, nearby buildings.

If you need to evacuate, only follow the authorities, not go deep.

Things to avoid

A flood with a strong current.

Drain. Open pipe lid.

Snakes, centipedes, poisonous insects that float with water.

Garbage, glass shards, pointed wood.
