How to protect ourselves and do the self-rescue
When floods are around you:
Never attempt to walk, swim or drive through floodwaters.
If you are trapped in a flooding building, just move to the highest floor and send signals for help.
Avoid power lines, as they are likely damaged. They can cause surrounding water to become charged, leading to electrocution（触电死亡）.
