First, here are some basic things to keep in mind:
Watch out for official news from the authorities, and do not trust WhatsApp forward messages.
Do not drive or walk across the flowing flood, undercurrent is stronger than one can imagine.
If the building has cracks or is over 50 years old, move to a different place.
People living in the low-lying areas should move to the safer place.
Boil the water and drink.
Have all your important documents and valuables in one packet (easy to carry immediately).
Have all emergency contact numbers written down in a pocketbook.
Avoid walking in logged water – possibilities of leeches and snakes being present are high.
Identify the best spot on your terrace/roof to climb up to if the water level increases, or the highest building in your area where you can go to till external assistance from Emergency Support Services arrives.
