Before a flood

Assemble an emergency kit with essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, medications, first aid supplies, and important documents such as insurance policies and identification.

Don’t forget practical items like flashlights, batteries, a portable phone charger, warm clothing, and basic hygiene products. This emergency bag will be critical if you need to evacuate or if basic utilities become unavailable.

Create a flood action plan detailing how you will respond in case of a flood on the Resilico connect app.

Identify a safe evacuation route and establish a meeting point for your family in case of separation. Ensure everyone knows how to communicate and what to do, including plans for pets, elderly relatives, or anyone with special needs. Practice your plan regularly to ensure everyone is prepared.

Use reliable sources like the Resilico app to stay updated on weather forecasts and flood warnings in your area. Being informed early will give you valuable time to take action and protect your family and property.

Take preventive measures to make your home more flood-resistant. Raise electrical appliances and utilities above ground level, waterproof basement walls, and install property flood resilience measures. Clear gutters and drains to reduce water buildup. If flooding is imminent, consider using sandbags or temporary flood barriers to protect your property. (emergency PFR)
