It is said that the Arctic is melting faster and faster, the sea level is rising gradually, and the rain in summer is getting more and more year by year. This year, even the Three Gorges voiced in advance that we should not pin all our hopes on them. What's wrong with the world? This makes me more and more insecure. I'm always worried that the river will burst its banks and the city will be flooded or something. So what if the flood really comes? How to save yourself when the flood comes?

1, prepare materials in advance

You can store some materials at home, such as a box of mineral water, instant noodles, ham sausage and other foods that are not easy to expire and can be eaten directly, so that you can survive even if you are trapped at home for ten days and a half.

Prepare some life jackets, first aid kits and so on, in case the house is washed away, you can escape with your family in time. Remember that it must be a life jacket, not a swimming ring or a pneumatic tire. When the flood strikes, it is easier to encounter sharp objects, and those inflatable floating objects will be miserable if they are punctured.

Remember to cut off the power and gas.

When the flood strikes, you need to try to calm yourself down and not be scared by the disaster. Survival requires step by step. First of all, you can turn off the switch and natural gas valve at home to avoid accidents such as electricity leakage or fire. Then check the ferocity of the flood. If your house is tall and strong enough, there is nothing to worry about. If your house is low or old, it is recommended to take the materials upstairs or move them to a safe place.

3. How to survive and be rescued

When the flood is about to destroy the house and you don't have life-saving materials ready, you need to look for things that can be used around you as much as possible, such as bed boards, foam boxes and other floatable objects, or pour out some mineral water bottles at home and tie them to your body with cloth, or you can use them as simple life jackets, and then try to swim to a safe place to wait for rescue.

Step 4 spend time learning to swim

In order to avoid the flood more safely, it is also very necessary to teach yourself to swim. Before the flood, I went to the swimming pool to study hard at weekends. When you are not afraid of water, you will not be flustered when the flood comes, and you can make correct countermeasures. In addition, swimming can not only save lives, but also have a good exercise effect, making you healthier and stronger.
