Flood Alarm
It is announced by the appropriate local government when the water level approaches the alarm state. In practice, a flood alarm is often announced only when the alarm state is significantly exceeded, which poses a real threat to people, their lives and property.
In case of flooding
The area in which you live should help you prevent and cope with such situations.
It is worth knowing what is the past of your region with floods, how dangerous they are and what state they reach. The infrastructure of your building is also important, you need to know if it is strong enough for such situations.
Ask your municipality for information about the evacuation and emergency plan for the flood, what are the escape routes and safe areas. Also make sure that it is easy to get to the top floor of your building if necessary. Keep copies of all documents, flashlight, first aid kit and radio in an easily accessible but dry place.
When it comes to securing the building, you can get sandbags that we will set in places through which water can flow inside. Turn off the electrical system because it can damage and cause even greater tragedy.
After the flood
Follow the instructions given by the authorities, do not do anything before yourself because you can worsen your situation. Do not drive on flooded roads because you do not know if there are any holes and collapses, there may also be spilled fuel or other substances.
Before you turn on the electrical installation back, consult an electrician if it is safe in the current situation. Before drinking tap water, make sure that the orders or city notices do not prohibit it, do not eat food that has been in contact with flood water because it may be contaminated.
