- Evacuate immediately if instructed by authorities
Safety Precautions During Floods

- Do not use electrical appliances when wet
- Keep children out of floodwater, which may be contaminated or contain dangerous animals

- Carefully inspect electrical systems before use
- Watch out for flood-related illnesses such as fungal infections, dengue fever, and waterborne diseases
By staying prepared and cautious, communities can help ensure the safety and well-being of everyone during flood emergencies.
