Floods can happen quickly and without much warning in many places around the world. Surviving a flood means being ready and knowing what to do when the disaster happens. (1)
Leave dangerous areas at once.
You may have only a short time to run away. Act quickly and head to safe places during flood warnings. When emergency services tell you to leave, listen to their instructions. (2) Whether (不论) you are on foot or have to leave your car, higher ground is the best place. If you're stuck at home, head for the roof if you can do so safely.
(3)
Moving water is never safe to get close to. It is usually stronger than it appears. Most flood deaths come from people trying to drive through water. Try to find something to hold onto, such as a strong branch or roof.
Avoid crossing through water.
Water up to your ankles (踝关节) is dangerous. You cannot see how deep the water is for the rest of the way. Six inches (15.24 cm) of water is enough to reach the bottom of cars and cause the engine (引擎) to stop. (4)
In all, remember that keeping calm is the most important thing when the flood happens.
