The Secretary of Health Department, Dr. Radhakrishnan, gave a few steps to be taken to protect ourselves from diseases due to rain:
Whether the stagnated water from rain drains out or not, please boil water and then drink. This is because most of the diseases are from drinking water.
It is usual that rain water and some drainage water would have got mixed in your (public) sump. Hence, people residing in flooded area can best avoid this sump water. Clean the sums with bleaching powder before starting use again.
While eating, better tea items which are hot. Totally avoid taking any food teems with swarms of flies.
