Yes, good call! Anyone in areas with flooding should avoid contact with water, which can contain bacteria, viruses, as well as be contaminated with various chemicals from leaking structures. If you encounter it, wash off with fresh water as soon as possible, and take extra care to wash out any cuts or wounds.
Good to see you are doing well. In this NW Mexico we have occasional hurricanes, but the most damage that I can remember has been always because huge amounts of water.
I am concerned that, so many events being annual, that is long enough time for people NOT to seek and implement better, long-term solutions.
Thank you! I agree, these events are so intermittent that a lot of people quickly go back to complacency after the storm passes. I wonder if the only thing to shake people awake may be when these hurricane or other natural disaster-prone areas become uninsurable because the costs just get too high
Happy you made it though though recovery will be a while.
Please also take care from Infectious Diseases. Of course, these are not covered by MSM.
