The first place to check for heavy rain is the inside and outside of the house.

The base must be sufficiently secured to ensure that it does not collapse due to weakening of the ground.

It is also recommended to repair cracked exterior walls and roof gaps with cement.

Also, it is necessary to remove foreign substances accumulated in the toilet sewer pipe to prevent the sewer water from flowing backward.

If the house is flooded, you should start by looking at whether the ground around the house is off.

This is because the structure of the house can be distorted and collapsed when the ground goes out.

Electrical wiring or gas pipes that are vulnerable to flooding must also be carefully checked.

When parking your car, you should avoid riverside or river areas.

If you need to drive on a rainy road, you should increase the tire pressure by 10% higher than usual to avoid slipping when you brake.

If the engine stops after passing through water, it is better to contact the maintenance company.

This is because the engine can be damaged if water is sucked into the engine rapidly if the engine is started again in flooded condition.

To prevent damage to crops, it is very important to secure drainage channels.

Orchards, where there is a risk of soil loss, cover the grass or rice straw, and at the barn, the stored food should be moved to a high place so that it will not be submerged in water.

It is also important to check the drainage of livestock manure storage facilities to prevent rainwater from entering or draining waste water.
