Rely only on orders from the government. Shift to a safer place and avoid getting carried away by rumours. Besides, do not spread rumours yourself!
Stay at home and avoid unnecessary travel if high tide and heavy rains occur simultaneously.
When the government starts issuing warnings for floods and heavy rain, put all valuables in a higher place in the house.
The flood water may get contaminated with sewage, oil, chemicals or other substances, hence avoid contact as much as possible.
Do not touch open wires during floods and heavy downpours and switch off all the electrical supplies. Once the situation gets better, don’t reconnect the power supply until a qualified engineer has checked it.
During floods, open manholes or ditches on the roads are not visible. So, always use a pole or stick while walking in standing water. Avoid stepping into deep water.
Do not litter waste, plastic bags, or plastic bottles in drains. It will further clog the drainage system.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - Maleficent
Making the character even more captivating, Aishwarya lent her voice to the central character Maleficent in Hindi, played by Angelina Jolie in the original version of the movie.
After the flood, be alert for gas leaks. Do not smoke or use candles, lanterns, or open flames.
Don’t remove standing water using your vacuum cleaner.
