Heavy rain can reduce visibility. If you can avoid driving, stay home. If you must drive, go slowly and avoid sudden movements.
Stay informed about weather conditions and any warnings or advisories in your area. Local news and weather apps can provide timely updates.
Never drive through flooded areas. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet, and a foot of water can float most vehicles.
Keep your power banks fully charged so your devices stay powered during power outages.
If heavy rain is accompanied by strong winds or lightning, stay indoors. Avoid using electrical appliances and stay away from windows.
If you need to go outside, wear waterproof clothing and sturdy, water-resistant footwear to keep dry and reduce the risk of slipping.
Have emergency numbers handy, including local authorities and emergency services, in case you need help quickly.
