Protecting Our Communities: Safety Guide During the Rainy Season
In light of rapid climate changes and heavy rainfall in our regions, Al-Noor Charity provides these essential safety guidelines to ensure the protection of lives and property, driven by our humanitarian responsibility towards our people.
First: Personal and Family Safety Guidelines
- Monitoring and Vigilance: Commit to following official weather bulletins and avoid movement during peak rainfall.
- Stay Away from Flood Streams: Avoid crossing or staying in valley floors and water outlets, as flash floods can occur suddenly with double strength.
- Electrical Hazards: Educate children to stay completely away from streetlights and exposed electrical transformers during and after rain to avoid electrocution.
- Public Health: Ensure drinking water is boiled or sterilized to prevent the spread of diseases carried by flood-contaminated water.
Second: Protecting Livelihoods and Property
- Securing Livestock: Move livestock to high and stable areas away from slopes and natural watercourses.
- Preserving Agricultural Lands: Work on maintaining drainage channels and building soil barriers to reduce erosion and protect crops.
- Community Cooperation: The role of Al-Noor Charity is completed through your awareness; therefore, we urge you to alert neighbors and assist vulnerable groups and the elderly during heavy rains.
We pray for everyone's safety and emphasize that adhering to these guidelines is the first line of defense in protecting our community from the repercussions of natural disasters.
