Floods:

1. Water Safety: Do not consume food or water that has come into contact with floodwater, as it may be contaminated. Boil water before drinking.
2. Structural Check: Before entering a house, check for structural damage or cracks to ensure the building is not at risk of collapsing.
3. Electric Safety: Do not touch any electrical equipment or wires while standing in water or if they are wet; ensure the main power supply is switched off.
4. Sanitisation: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the house and surroundings to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases like cholera or typhoid.
