First of all, if you are near a low-lying area, a habitually flooded area, or an area prone to landslides, you should move to a safe place.
People living in underground spaces or in old houses and buildings that are in danger of collapsing also inform their neighbors and evacuate together to a safe place in advance.
During heavy rain, it is not recommended to go to dangerous areas where water may overflow, such as mountain valleys, rivers, shorelines, and breakwaters.
Before it rains, check the sewers and drains around the house to clear any blockages, and prepare sandbags and clapboards for underground parking lots of apartments and low-lying buildings where flooding is frequent.
If water starts to fill your house, you need to get out of the house quickly before it gets over your knees.
At this time, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker and evacuate to avoid short circuit or electric shock.
Do not walk or drive on submerged roads, underpasses or bridges.
If you are forced to walk outside in a heavy rain, walk along the edge of the road or along the building to avoid the risk of a manhole fall.
Traffic lights, street lights, and signboards may cause electric shock and should be avoided.
If your vehicle starts to fill with water due to sudden torrential rain while driving, you must park the vehicle on the shoulder, turn off the engine, and evacuate immediately.
You must break the edge of the side window with an emergency hammer or open the door opposite the rapids to escape.
When you are in a crisis, call 119 for a rescue request or 110 for a simple drainage request.
If you install the safety stepping stone app on your smartphone, you can receive real-time information about emergency situations such as typhoons and flood damage.
