If you find yourself in danger from a flood, first of all, you should stay calm. Find something, such as a piece of wood or a big basin, to help you float on the surface of the water. If possible, find a higher place to stay. For emergency supplies, I advise always having on hand a flashlight, a whistle, enough water and food.
