Before flood season, store emergency supplies (dry food, water purification tablets, first aid, flashlight, battery-powered radio). Keep important documents in waterproof containers. Know the nearest flood shelter location. Listen to flood warnings from the FFWC (ffwc.gov.bd) and local radio. Elevate household items above expected flood level. Keep a boat or raft if you live in a flood-prone area. After floods, boil or purify water before drinking, avoid walking in floodwater due to contamination and snakes, and check for structural damage before returning home.
