How To Survive A Flood

Surviving a flood requires a combination of preparation and quick action. Here are some essential steps to help you stay safe during a flood:

1. Make a Flood Survival Plan:

• Identify evacuation routes and meeting spots with your family. Ensure everyone knows where to go.

• Assemble an emergency supplies kit containing food, water, medications, first aid supplies, warm clothing, and personal identification documents.

1. Evacuate Immediately:

• When emergency services advise evacuation, act promptly. Head to designated shelters or high ground.

• Never drive around barricades; they’re used to direct traffic safely out of flooded areas.

1. Avoid Walking or Driving Through Flood Waters:

• Even shallow water can be dangerous. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of water can sweep away a vehicle.

• Stick to high ground and stay away from water during the flood.

1. Cautiously Return Home After the Flood:

• Disinfect and repair affected areas to ensure safety even after the water recedes.

• Remember to check your food supplies annually and replace any expired items.

Stay vigilant, follow official guidance, and prioritize safety during floods
