First, here are some basic things to keep in mind:

Watch out for official news from the authorities, and do not trust WhatsApp forward messages.

Do not drive or walk across the flowing flood, undercurrent is stronger than one can imagine.

If the building has cracks or is over 50 years old, move to a different place.

People living in the low-lying areas should move to the safer place.

Boil the water and drink.

Have all your important documents and valuables in one packet (easy to carry immediately).

Have all emergency contact numbers written down in a pocketbook.

Avoid walking in logged water – possibilities of leeches and snakes being present are high.

Identify the best spot on your terrace/roof to climb up to if the water level increases, or the highest building in your area where you can go to till external assistance from Emergency Support Services arrives.

Here is a list of food items that you must keep stocked up at home.

Packaged food

Milk

Water Cans

Bread

Biscuit

Your medicine cabinet should be stocked with the following

Paracetamol

Cough Syrup

Electral 

Glucose

Prescribed medicine

For the sake of your own safety, here is an assorted list of household items you should have at your house

First aid box

Candles with matches

Torch lights with extra set of batteries

Charge your cellphones & battery banks

Radio Transistor with extra set of batteries

Bedsheets & Shawls for all family members
