IF YOU ARE STRANDED IN FLOOD

Mumbai Monsoon is back with a bang. Are you flood proof? Remember 26/7?
Here are few precautions you can take if you are caught in a flood like situation and you are stuck in a car.
If there is a flood warning, don’t drive or go out unless it is an absolute emergency.
If you must drive during a flash flood warning, avoid low-lying roads or areas that tend
to collect water.
Never drive through standing water. You cannot assume the depth of water or how
fast its current is. It takes only two feet of water to move a car.
If the water around your car starts rising, get your windows down so you have an
escape route if necessary.
Keep a hammer in your car, so you can break your car window if it gets stuck or
jammed.
Be pushy. Try and maneuver you’re your car on a footpath, park it as safely and as
unobtrusively as possible, get out and get into the nearest building.
Hope you don’t get into this kind of situation, but if you do, do remember these tips.
