All people must follow the safety regulations to minimize the damage and survive from a disaster. For example, if the road is filled with water when you pass, you should unfasten your seat belt and open the window. When the water rises to an exhaust pipe of a car in front of you, you should get off the car and evacuate. If the water gets inside your house, you should shut off the power supply and open the front door. It will help firefighters check that there are people inside or not. In addition, the government's announcement plays an important role. If an area is damaged seriously, the people who live there will have to be designated to a special disaster area, and the government should monitor their safety.
