When we learn that a flood is coming, we should move to a safe area as soon as possible. At this time, personal safety must be the top priority and we should not stay at home for a long time because we care about money gains and losses. If it is too late to move, you should avoid staying in low-lying areas and try to avoid floods in high places. At this time, avoidance areas that can be considered include rooftops, high-rise buildings, high walls, etc. If the flood level continues to rise and has endangered us, we should look for everything that can save us, such as floating basins, large pieces of foam, rafts, lifebuoys, hollow balls such as basketballs, etc. It is worth mentioning that you must not sit in the basin, because the basin will easily tip over. You should turn the basin upside down or place it upright in the water so that we can float. Of course, these methods are only a last resort and must be used. If the water level does not endanger us, it is best to wait for rescue.

The above are just a few small suggestions.
