Day 8 Session 19 Resource Materials RM 19.1: Evacuation, preparedness for search and rescue, shelter management, and health response It is critical to have a well coordinated and well managed response during a flash flood event. Planning for the eventuality of a flood and establishing guidelines ahead of time are two ways to minimise loss and damage. Session 19 Evacuation The aim of evacuation is to remove people from the flood and its associated hazards (Boxes 19 and 20). The following factors should be considered by the evacuation and rescue teams. • Have evacuation procedures in place and available for the case in which there is little warning time. • Have alternative evacuation routes marked on the social flood hazard map. • Make sure that people are aware of the secondary hazards that can occur after a flash flood recedes, such as landslides, mudslides, exposed ‘live’ power cables that have snapped during the flood (which can be very dangerous), and snakes and other animals displaced from their natural habitats (which likewise can be dangerous to humans) (Box 21). • Give special consideration to the evacuation of vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled. Box 19: Evacuation and rescue Evacuation and rescue have different functions. During the evacuation phase, persons at risk are moved to safer ground. During rescue, the victims are resettled and provided with shelter and basic needs. Box 20: Essential activities for the evacuation and rescue team • Register the people who will be housed in the shelter. • Take note of any injury or medial requirements during the registration (if possible). • Take note of any other special requirements they may have. • Inquire whether they know if their family members and neighbours are safe or need to be rescued. • Dispense health information. • Provide a basic level of security and see that women and children are safe. It is important to ensure that women are protected from any violence. The CFFRMC (in coordination with other agencies) should help to provide and maintain basic health services and hygiene. Box 21: Responding to a flash flood – outside or inside If you are outside during a flash flood • Avoid going to flooded areas. • Do not let children play outside. • Watch out for hanging or submerged power lines and wires. If possible, report fallen electrical lines. • Do not venture to unstable ground. • Do not go to flooded river bank areas to catch fish or retrieve logs or timber. • If you are driving, stop driving and climb to higher ground. • Do not try to drive or walk over flooded roads or bridges. If you are inside during a flash flood • Gather together your preassembled emergency supplies. • Shut off all power and propane gas in the house. Remember, fire is the most frequent hazard after a flood. • Quickly evacuate to safer or higher ground. If there is no time, climb to a higher floor or to the roof top and signal for help. • Avoid walking around after the flooding as steps and floors are slippery and can be covered with debris and broken glass. 139
