power cuts, traffic jams and that if it is combined with depression and
cyclones things get more worst. The condition in the Chennai city right now is
almost similar. Everyone in Chennai is humming …….
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY
LITTLE JOHNNY WANTS TO PLAY
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
After the 2015 floods in Chennai, many get prepared for the worst even
with little rains. Water getting into the houses, unable to move out and no
water, no food & many lessons taught by 2015, made people to organise their
houses better &fill with many supplies to meet the demands of the rainy
days. so, this list can be helpful to any region of our country to make
themselves more comfortable during heavy rains. Let’s check it out…………………………….
>
Try to avoid buying flats or apartments near lakes &rivers, because
when it overflows, the water enters the nearby areas and even into houses in
the ground floor.
>
Try to complete repairs or make overs of the house or flat during summer
itself, which will be highly beneficial &that to
Leaks and falls can be avoided.
>
Not to forget about any electrical features &motors for water tanks.
Change switches too if they are damaged. Check for wirings &cables also. Get
service done for inverters &other power back up equipment. Never forget
about the lifts in the apartments. Have candles too.
>
Individual houses are also can raise their ground level and check
compound walls &terrace to water proof before rain. Water tanks too need to
be cleaned and closed properly with a lid.
>
Make rain water harvesting plant in every house hold and without fail
check for plants &trees, that too specifically any broken or injured branch
in the tree. Immediately cut off to avoid dangerous out comes.
>
Use mosquito nets or repellents to keep away from mosquito bites which in
turn will help to be far away from
dengue &malaria.
>
As soon as the monsoon sets in, get ready with rain coats, umbrella,
sweaters &scarfs,socks, especially for children and senior citizens.
>
Get the stock of basic medicines and other first aid kit to avoid going
out during the rain or get the number of the pharmacy who provide home delivery
of medicines. Check with your family Doctor about necessary medicines for the
young &the old in your family.
>
At many times the department of meteorology announces the weather
forecast and alerts people about the forthcoming rain, make use of this by
storing the required edibles in the fridge for the rainy days, so that much
pressure &tensions can be avoided. Especially milk &milk powders, bread,
biscuits, noodles, fruits &vegetables, many ready to eat items are also
available in the market, add them to the shopping list. It will be handy.
>
Keep in store clean drinking water, if the water filter works on electricity.
Make sure to charge the cell phones to the full &use for urgent needs only.
Never pass on any wrong information about the weather condition which in turn
will make people panic.

Try to help others as far as possible &have local emergency numbers
in the contact list. Keep the vehicles in the covered parking area if possible,
or otherwise cover the vehicle from rain water entering into it.
>
Avoid wearing wet clothes and even the ones which are not fully dried. make
sure to have many small dresses for children and have the diapers &other
sanitary items in reserve.
>
Its better to keep the floors as dry as possible and avoid slippery tiles
&foot wears. Always remember never to buy food from road side eateries and
consume the home cooked food within few hours of preparation.
