In the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves?
Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. Listen to emergency broadcasts(应急广播)for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so.
Stay inside the car if it's caught in a fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car.
If caught within a flooded building, move to the highest floor. Only move to the roof if necessary. Once there, signal for help such as drawing SOS on the roof.
Stay away from power lines(电线), as they are often destroyed or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas.
