Solution

If I am a volunteer serving people affected by floods, I will first ask them to remain calm and have patience. Then, in a gentle voice I will give them the following instructions: 

  • Be prepared! We may need to move to a safer place as the floods are getting worse.
  • Pack a bag with only your important items.
  • Take a few clothes, a pair of bedsheets and a blanket.
  • Keep your official documents, like degrees, license, PAN card, etc.
  • Pack some eatables that can last long.
  • Take some medicines.
  • Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves.
  • Disconnect all electrical appliances.
  • If you have to walk in water, wherever possible, walk where the water is not moving.
  • Take a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
  • While moving out, please be together with your family and take care of each other.
  • Do not panic. It is going to be alright soon. We will return home when authorities indicate it is safe.
