How to save yourself when a flood occurs
1. When floods come, move and evacuate according to the planned route, pay attention to supporting the elderly and the young, and help each other. If the flood comes too fast and it is no longer possible to move on foot, you should use prepared boats or floating objects such as door panels and wooden beds as water transfer tools.
2． When the flood comes quickly and the water has already entered the house, you must quickly climb onto the roof, wall or nearby tree to take temporary refuge and wait for the rescue personnel to move. Single swimming transfers are not allowed.
3. Houses with earthen walls, dry fortresses or brick walls with mud joints can only be used as temporary shelters because they are in danger of collapse at any time if exposed to water.
4. If there are no big trees or courtyard walls, and the roof cannot be climbed for a while, you should hold on to the fixed objects at this time and call for help from others to help you escape.
How to prevent the spread of diseases after a flood
1: Remove stagnant water and dirt, ventilate and dry, spray disinfectants to prevent the breeding of infectious diseases and mosquitoes and flies.
2． Take preventive medicine to avoid infectious diseases. If an infectious case occurs, isolation and treatment must be carried out.
3. Household utensils must be cleaned and disinfected, and wet and moldy objects must be ventilated and aired.
