How To Be Safe During A House Flood

Since typhoons are an annual occurrence in the country, many would think they are prepared enough every time. But the unfortunate truth is, the worst dangers of severe flooding come with or without sufficient warning. Looking into getting property coverage from reliable home insurance in the Philippines early gives extra advantage. However, we should still not become complacent, as underestimating typhoons do not always end well. 

Preparing is highly advised, but knowing what to do during actual floods and doing them quickly can save more lives. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Practice extreme caution against electrical hazards.

Super typhoons can cause severe flooding. While it might be tempting to keep pushing out flood water away to save your belongings, assess its level before you keep going. If flood continues to rise, immediately turn off the circuit breakers for safety. 

When you still can, transfer as much appliances or electrical equipment to higher places as possible. Appliances soaked in flood should be assumed dangerous, unless a qualified electrician says otherwise. Refrain from being in contact with water when it has already reached your electrical outlets or devices.

Prepare for an organized evacuation when directed.

Once a flood warning is announced, evacuating to a safer location may be advised. Obeying evacuation orders is understandably a very difficult choice for many. However, this action is necessary above everything else to preserve more lives. Just remember the Five Ps of Evacuation as your guide: securing People and Pets, Prescriptions, Papers, Personal Needs, and Priceless Items. If there is still time before you leave, carefully turn off gas, water, and electricity and lock your house.

Carry handy tools for quicker rescue operations.

While waiting for professional help to come, arming yourself with handy tools can make a huge difference. More challenges could happen the longer you wait, so preserving your strength is crucial. Monitor incoming news through a portable radio can help you to keep yourself updated. If there is not a whistle at hand to call the rescuers’ attention, learn to improvise whistling out of a bottle cap or a soup can. This would help you refrain from screaming so much, to avoid draining your energy in these critical moments.

Increasing your survival chance against floods means making the most of what you have early on. Remember, preparation is key for these situations. Equip yourself with safety tips and trusted homeowners insurance in the Philippines beforehand to add protection to your household.
