Picture
Flood is one of the frequent natural disasters that occur in the world. With the death toll increases every year, it shows how dangerous this calamity is if you are unprepared. To help you in case of flood, here are some of the preparations and tips that you can check.
​What Can Cause Flooding
Flooding can occur if the rain accumulates faster for the soil to absorb. It can also happen due to:
  • Heavy raining in a short period of time
  • Several days of rain
  • River or stream overflow because of ice or debris jam
  • Failure to control water structure

Be Updated
It is good that you are prepared whether you live in a place that’s prone to flooding or not. It is best that you are ready even before the disaster hits. Make sure that you pay close attention to the flooding updates via television, radio, or cellphones. be informed of the difference between: 
  • Flood watch – a possible flood in your area.
  • Flood warning- the flood will occur soon, or it is already happening and prepare to evacuate at a moment’s notice. 

Have A Survival Kit
It is vital to have a survival kit on hand with at least three days worth of supplies for the entire household. It should contain the following: 
  • Water (1 gallon per person)
  • Flashlight
  • Solar-powered or portable phone chargers
  • First Aid Kit
  • Copies of Important Documents
  • Supply of medications for seven days
  • Hand-crank or battery-powered radio
  • Multi-purpose tool
  • Personal hygiene and sanitation items

Check and Maintain Your Drainage System
One of the things that you should also check is your drainage system. Ensure that it is maintained and is not clogged. Not checking this can lead to flooding and property damage. 

Conclusion
Flood is a force of nature that you should not underestimate. Preparing yourself can help you and your family safe and out of danger. Getting an insurance plan can also help you in case of damage in your home, an additional safety blanket for you and your family that can help ease your mind and feel secure.
