When an individual is outdoors in a common area
When there is a strong flow of water in the area within sight, it should be immediately judged whether a flood disaster has formed. In the event that a flood disaster is judged, take immediate refuge:
Look for solid heights
- The area above the second floor of a sturdy multi-storey high-rise public building (above the water) is located on a higher ground.
- Avoid taking refuge on bridges, especially bridges over river channels, as flooding in river channels can overwhelm bridges.
Avoid entering hazardous areas
- Avoid climbing flood control facilities such as river embankments, as there is a risk that super floods may break the embankment or overflow the embankment.
- Avoid entering underground buildings such as subways, underground culverts, street tunnels, underground civil air defense projects, and underground commercial streets.
- Avoid being near old buildings.
- Far from the hillside, excessive rainfall may cause secondary disasters such as mudslides.
- Do not stand under and beside trees, and do not go near billboards.
Reduce the use of transportation facilities
- Avoid driving. Under the heavy rain, the ground situation was completely obscured, and it was impossible to accurately judge the situation of water accumulation.
- Get out of public transport as soon as possible. Heavy rains can disrupt public transportation, and subways that are out of service underground and buses in low-lying areas are dangerous.
- If leaving the transport, it is best to keep moving in groups.
Keep away from electrical facilities
- In the process of avoiding danger, you must stay away from power facilities, such as high-voltage lines, high-voltage towers, transformers, etc., and stay away from all items with power supply danger signs.
- Keep away from wires and rope-like items.
- When it is not possible to ensure that your body and hands are dry, do not touch live equipment such as sockets and switches.
- Avoid standing in high places in the open air and avoid lightning strikes.
Personal Communications
- In distress outdoors, reduce the additional consumption of communication equipment, ensure that you can support the arrival of rescuers, and ensure that you have the ability to contact relatives and friends when you are safe.
- When leaving the vehicle, you can send your location and evacuation plan to friends and family.
- If you can't leave because of the surrounding water conditions, you can immediately report your location, the number of people trapped, the surrounding water conditions, emergency communication methods, etc., to the police, and then stop using your mobile phone and wait for rescue.
When the individual is at home
- Personnel on the lower floors should be ready to move immediately, and prepare necessary supplies for the elderly, children, and the sick and infirm in advance.
- People who need to use ventilators and oxygen cylinders need to relocate their life-sustaining equipment in time to ensure that they can survive when the power supply is normal. Inflate the spare oxygen bag in a timely manner to ensure an emergency oxygen supply is available even after a power outage.
- Turn off the power supply in your home to avoid water entering your home that causes short circuits in equipment and wires, causing electrical fires. Turn off the gas switches at all levels to avoid gas leakage.
- Carry your mobile phone, charging cable, and power bank with you to ensure communication capabilities.
- If you have swim rings, inflatable boats, inflatable beds, etc., you can bring them with you. You can carry fruit knives, scissors, lighters, and external disinfectants such as band-aids and antibiotics.
