Preparing for Flood Season: Essential Health Care Tips

In late November 2025, southern Thailandespecially Hat Yai and Songkhla provincesexperienced the heaviest rainfall and flooding in decades. Sudden floods in many areas reached water levels up to 2 meters, resulting in at least 13 deaths and affecting hundreds of thousands of households across 9 provinces in the south. In situations like this, besides aid from the government and communities, proper self-care is crucial to prevent illnesses and reduce risks from potential hazards.

Immediate Actions During Flooding

1. Avoid unnecessary contact with floodwater

• Floodwater can be contaminated with pathogens, bacteria, or chemicals.

• Those who must assist or move belongings should always wear waterproof boots and gloves. Avoid prolonged exposure, especially if you have cuts or wounds on your skin.

2.Clean yourself and belongings immediately after contact with floodwater

• Wash your hands frequently and cleanse your body promptly after exposure to floodwater.

• Remove wet clothing and change into dry clothes as soon as possible.

3.Drink clean water and keep an emergency supply

• Avoid drinking from potentially contaminated sources.

• Having clean water in reserve reduces the risk of waterborne diseases.

4.Be cautious of electricity and electrical hazards

• If floodwater rises high, cut off electricity immediately.

• Avoid using plugs or electrical devices in wet areas or standing water. Prepare flashlights and spare batteries for emergencies.

5.Take care of your physical and mental health

• Try to eat cooked, clean food and get enough rest. If you have wounds, clean and check them immediately.

• Watch out for skin rashes, itching, or respiratory symptoms. If abnormal signs appear, seek medical attention promptly.

Post-Flood Self-Care

• Clean your home and belongings thoroughly. Wash, wipe, and disinfect areas affected by floodwater, especially those contaminated with mud or sewage.

• Separate and dispose of waste and contaminated items carefully. Wet clothes, belongings, or other soaked items should be sorted and discarded properly.

• Have an electrician inspect the electrical system before turning it back on. Do not plug in appliances immediately after floodwaters recede; wait for professional clearance.
