Floods can occur suddenly and pose serious risks to life and property.

During floods, it is important to move to higher ground immediately and evacuate to safer, elevated areas if water levels begin rising in your area.

If floodwater enters your home or building, switch off electricity at the main power source to prevent the risk of electrocution.

Avoid walking, swimming, or driving through floodwaters because even shallow moving water can knock a person down or sweep away a vehicle.

Stay away from rivers, drainage channels, and flooded roads, as these areas can become extremely dangerous during heavy rains.

Be cautious of muddy water and fallen power lines that may be hidden in flooded areas. Always follow official updates and emergency instructions from local authorities, radio, television, and verified online platforms.
