Some tips and things to remember when faced with flooding
As someone who experienced flooding and knows people who have been affected by flooding … here are some safety tips, tips in general, and things to remember …
The water is now your biggest enemy. So try to get as far away as possible.
I know that shit is scary as fuck but try to remain calm. Calm down people around you too.
If, for whatever reason, you no longer can get out of the house - try to get on the roof of your house. Do NOT stay inside the house. You’re going to be trapped in your house, and rescue workers will have a hard time reaching you when you’re in the house. (BUT!: Only go out if it’s the safer option.)
If you have to stay in the house (for whatever reason), lock every door and window. Seal as good as you can every way water could come inside. Turn off electricity immediately. Get on the highest floor and stay near a window or something similar so rescue workers can get you out. Make noise or send other signals to alarm rescue workers to tell them where you are.
If you can’t get on your roof, look for something high - trees, laterns, traffic lights, … .
You’re somewhere trapped? You made it to somewhere safe? Make as much noise as possible, so rescue workers hear you. Use a flashlight (night) or something that reflects light (day).
If you get rescued and you know about people who still need help / are trapped somewhere / can’t escape for whatever reason - tell the rescue workers as fast as possible.
Try to get out of the water as quickly as possible. If you stay in the water, you risk getting cold (it doesn’t matter how warm it is) and exhausting yourself. This can come quickly and without you noticing. This could kill you.
Also, (secret) water currents can occur. They can be powerful and easily drag you along. So get out of that water.
The flood will have all kind of stuff in the water that can trap, crush, hurt, drag you along, pull you under water and / or kill you. SO GET OUT OF THE WATER!
If you get wounded - even if you think it’s “just a small thing” - tell the rescue workers and medical people. Especially if we talk about open wounds. Yes, also that “little scratch, it’s nothing” - show them, tell them!
Another reason to get out of the water - electricity because of damaged power lines.
Never drink, under any circumstances, the polluted water! Never! Doesn’t matter how thirsty you are. Don’t drink it!
Your #1 priority is keeping your feet dry and warm. After that - your upper body and arms. After that, the rest.
If you’re wet and have no clothes to change into (and there is no chance of getting rescued soon): get out of the wet clothes. If you start to shiver, that’s the last sign to immediately get out. Cuddle with other people as close as possible. Wrap blankets or jackets or something similar around you. (No longer wearing the wet clothes!) Anything that traps the body heat and keeps it close to you is good.
If you have to cross water, ALWAYS grab something / hold on to something. Check if it’s safely secured somewhere. Do not cross water that’s higher than your chest (children, depending on age and height: higher than knees / thighs / waist).
If the flood drags you along, your #1 priority is to keep your head above the water. If you can, scream as loud as possible to attract attention. Try to grab / hold on to something. (If you want to help someone, try to throw them a rope or something. If you get in the water to help them, make sure you’re tied at something and safely secured. Talk to them when approaching them and try to calm them down! Someone panicking because they fear to drown every second is a risk for you two. If possible, try to grab them from behind.)
If you’re about to get evacuated or you try on your own to get to safety - here is what to pack: multiple dry, warm clothes (especially socks) (don’t underestimate how cold you can get if you get wet and how dangerous that is) (keep the layering methode in mind to stay warm); your most important documents; your medication for 3-5 days (7 days, if you have enough space) (also write down your medication, medication plan, your diseases and other important medical information and put it in a ziplock or something similar); bottled water and energy / granola bars (canned food you can eat without cooking and you can open easily works too); electronic devices with power banks; food and water for pets if you take them with you; food and water for babies and toodlers; hygienic essentials for you and babies / toddlers; emergency medication; a sharp knife and sharp scissors (Swiss pocket knife is the best solution), flashlights and batteries; something to make fire (if possible: no matches because they can get wet).
If the flood is already high and, for whatever reason, you couldn’t get away immediately - so now you try on your own or wait for rescue workers: Write with an edding pen following things on your arms / legs / torso or other body parts: your full (!) name, your age / birth date (day, month and year), blood type, medical conditions and allergies the rescue workers need to know, emergency phone numbers (who should they call if something happens to you / they find you), who’s with you (if you you’re not alone).
Have emergency medication / medical equipment near you (ibuprofen or paracetamol for wounds, and if you get a fever; things against vomiting and diarrhoea; plasters and bandages; something for disinfection).
If the flood is “over” / no longer rising - it’s NOT safe! Shit can still going on under the water surface. Stay away.
If you return to your previous flooded house, stay away from the remaining water! Especially cellars can quickly become a death trap. Also, electricity could be in water and would kill you.
I really do not care why men are lonely and hate women to cope. I’m lonely and u know what I do ? finger myself like a normal person . They have no excuse
That’s why you’re gonna be doing that lame shit forever instead of getting nailed to every wall in your house like a picture frame like I do. You ain’t gonna meet anyone who can do that sitting in your house playing with yourself… Unless you’re playing with yourself right now while reading my response… Then in that case “hey girl heeeeyyy what’s your age/sex/location?” Haha no fr stfu
I do not have time or the patience for you right now methed up samurai
