Friends of STEEMIT due to climate changes and as a rescuer I am going to leave you some tips on what we should do during the floods and what not to do.
First of all you should know that the rescue groups and firefighters work in teams and with a pre-established plan according to the study of the risks in the area.

Before acting ask for help and wait for support with tools, do not take risks or do the hero could cost you your life.
The area should be evacuated according to the previous census, by children, seniors and people with disabilities.

A concentration area with entry and exit for emergency vehicles must be established.

Another area to use as a nurse, this should be far from the concentration area so as not to disturb the sick and injured, besides being very clean.

Have a first aid kit or red cross, containing:
Scissors, sterile gauze or tape, tape bandages, bandages, latex gloves, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, gerdex.
An inventory should be kept of the available supplies and how they were used if a list of the most necessary was not available.
Make an inventory of water, food, clothing and blankets.
You can not consume water or food that has had contact with the flooded water, these are contaminated by sewage, it could cause an epidemic.
No sewers or manholes could swallow the people who opened it.
I hope this information will be of support while the specialized help arrives.
Never become the hero.
