• Avoid low spots like ditches, basements, or underpasses. These become extremely dangerous during a flash flood.
• Do not walk through flooded areas. It can be difficult to tell how deep the water is and what lies underneath the water that could hurt you. Even shallow, moving water can make you fall.
• If you have to walk in water, wherever possible, walk where the water is not moving.

Time to Wake up.

The landslides and floods in Himachal Pradesh along with the whole of North India are clear signs of the impact of climate change. These natural disasters have caused significant harm to communities and their properties. Climate change is altering weather patterns and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. It's time for us to acknowledge the connection between human activities and these destructive consequences. We must act urgently, globally, and implement sustainable solutions to reduce the effects of climate change. Let's wake up and take action before it's too late.
