Be ready to act quickly. Don’t take any chances. Floods and flash floods can happen quickly and without warning. Be prepared to evacuate and keep your emergency supplies close. Leave mobile phones on and charged so you can receive messages about emergencies. Listen to the radio for updates, and check the websites. Listen to emergency services and follow any instructions regarding evacuation of your area. Get your home or business ready:
If you have been evacuated, it may not be safe to return home even when the floodwaters have gone away. Listen to emergency services and don’t return home until they tell you it is safe to do so.
Never try to walk, swim, drive through or play in flood water. Many flood deaths are caused by people attempting to drive through water, or people playing in high water. Slow-flowing, deep water or fast-flowing, shallow water, can unbalance people and sweep them away. Even water just 15 centimetres deep can sweep you off your feet. Keep children away from flood waters. It is not safe for them. Do not put yourself at risk to take photos or videos of the flood. Always assume that all flood water is contaminated with farm run-off, animal and human sewage (污物) and chemicals. Flood water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines. If you come in contact with floodwater, thoroughly clean hands, clothes and any property touched.
