മഴയാണ് എല്ലാരും സുരക്ഷിതമായി ഇരിക്കുക

Heavy rain can create several dangerous situations, depending on the intensity and duration.

1. Flooding

Urban flooding: Overwhelmed drainage systems cause water to accumulate quickly.

Flash flooding: Sudden and intense floods, especially in low-lying or mountainous areas, can be life-threatening.

River flooding: Prolonged rainfall causes rivers to overflow, damaging surrounding areas.


2. Landslides / Mudslides

Saturated soil on slopes can become unstable, leading to landslides.

These are common in hilly or mountainous regions after continuous rain.


3. Reduced Visibility and Poor Driving Conditions

Heavy rain significantly lowers visibility, increasing the risk of traffic accidents.

Roads become slippery, especially when mixed with oil residues.


4. Power Outages and Infrastructure Damage

Rain can cause short circuits, power outages, or damage to electrical infrastructure.

Flooded roads and collapsed bridges can isolate communities.


5. Health Hazards

Stagnant floodwater can spread waterborne diseases (e.g., cholera, dysentery).

Risk of electrocution from submerged power lines.


6. Evacuation and Shelter Risks

Sudden evacuations due to flooding can lead to crowding in shelters.

Vulnerable populations may be at higher risk (elderly, disabled, etc.).
