What should you pay attention to when camping outdoors after a flood?

Don't assume it's safe after the downpour and flooding; it's actually more dangerous at this time! Due to the flooding, nature is disrupted, the ecological environment deteriorates, mosquitoes and bacteria breed, and water sources are severely contaminated, leading to various diseases. Therefore, "after the downpour and flooding" becomes a high-risk stage for infectious diseases, and protection should be prioritized.

Health problems that can arise after a flood: Skin diseases, gastrointestinal infectious diseases, natural focal diseases, respiratory diseases.

How to disinfect?

• Walls and floors can be disinfected with chlorine-containing disinfectants, peracetic acid, etc.

• Utensils such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, and cups should be cleaned before boiling for disinfection.

• Focus on "cleaning dirt" in the environment, and disinfect key areas after cleaning dirt.

• Pay attention to strengthening the monitoring of gastrointestinal infectious diseases. If an epidemic is found, disinfection of the epidemic source area should be promptly carried out.

What should personal protection focus on?

• Be cautious about ground safety when going out, and use waterproof equipment when wading.

• Strictly clean wounds after injury and seek medical attention promptly if feeling unwell.

• Do not drink untreated water.

• Do not eat rotten or spoiled food.

• Avoid soaking hands and feet in water for a long time.

• Wash hands frequently and do not share personal hygiene items.

• Rinse skin after soaking.

• Pay attention to environmental hygiene.

In addition, outdoor camping equipment must also undergo corresponding cleaning and disinfection to ensure our safety when using it outdoors. Equipment such as camping tables and chairs, tableware, outdoor tools, and outdoor sports equipment need to be cleaned first, then disinfected, and dried to ensure equipment dryness and hygiene.

• Ensure the cleanliness of the campsite. If it's an unmanaged campsite, avoid pitching tents in areas with many puddles.

• Carry disinfectants with you.
