Essential safety advice for the initial 72 hours following a flood
The three-day period immediately following a flood is a high-risk time. Dangers such as contaminated water, the spread of waterborne illnesses, electrical hazards, physical injuries, and the rapid growth of mosquito populations present significant health threats. Specialists recommend staying out of floodwaters, consuming only safe drinking water, practicing good hygiene, keeping any wounds covered, and visiting a doctor quickly to prevent infections or other severe medical emergencies.
