In a flood situation advise everyone to remain at least 3 metres from the water and never allow children to go near flood water.

If you do decide to go to the rescue, ensure that you remain as safe as possible. Do not enter the water yourself. Never go alone. Use any relevant safety equipment you may have. Life jackets, canoeing bump hats, throw ropes and a solid object for a reaching rescue are all useful. Never tie yourself to a rope, which can get snagged underwater and drag you down.\n"); document.write("\n"); document.write("8. During extreme weather conditions the emergency services will be very busy, so only call for assistance if there is a risk to life or serious environmental damage.\n"); document.write("\n"); document.write("9.
