During Floods

  • Move to identifiable safe havens or high grounds when you notice your home, office or school is getting flooded.
  • Turn off all electrical appliances and gas connections before evacuating your house, office or school etc.
  • Assist children, persons with disabilities, elderly people, and pregnant women who may need help to reach safe-havens. If possible, ensure that any assisting device used by a person with a disability is not left behind during an evacuation.
  • Avoid walking or driving through flood waters as snakes and other poisonous insects may be present or you may fall into a pit or an uncovered drain.
