Key points of personal health education and protection after flood disaster

　　1. The protective equipment to be equipped includes masks, disposable gloves, work clothes and insulating rubber boots.

　　2. After disinfection, clean all disinfection tools, then take off work clothes, hats, masks (or other protective appliances) in turn, fold the clothes, roll the outer surface of work clothes inside and put them in special cleaning bags for cleaning.

　　3. Disinfector should not smoke and eat during disinfection operation.

　　1. Prevent drowning.

　　Try to avoid walking or driving in flood water; If the flood continues to rise, the shelter can no longer protect itself, so we should make full use of the prepared life-saving equipment to escape, or quickly find some floating materials such as door panels, tables and chairs, large pieces of foam plastic and tie them into rafts to escape; Ensure that children are kept away from flood storage areas.

　　2. Prevent electric shock.

　　Do not climb electrified telephone poles and towers. If you find that the high-voltage tower is tilted or the wires are broken and drooping, you must avoid it quickly to prevent direct electric shock or electric shock due to the "step voltage" on the ground; Electrical appliances soaked in water should not be used before being repaired by professional maintenance personnel.

　　1. Strengthen hand hygiene.

　　Wash your hands before preparing food, before breastfeeding, before meals, after defecation, before and after nursing patients, after touching animals or animal carcasses, after touching garbage, before and after treating wounds, etc. When washing hands, it is best to wash them with soap and running water and dry them in time; Don’t wash your hands and face with water polluted by flood, and wash other things.

　　2. Do a good job in wound care.

　　It is best to wrap the wound with waterproof material to keep it clean and avoid contact with flood water. If the wound comes into contact with flood water, wash it with clean water and soap immediately; If the wound shows signs of infection, such as redness, exudation of body fluids, you should seek professional medical assistance in time, and the medical staff should decide whether to inject tetanus vaccine according to the wound condition.

　　3. Do a good job in personal health monitoring.

　　If you are exposed to floods or eat contaminated food, and have symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, fever or abdominal pain, you should seek medical advice promptly.
