Monsoon rains finally returned this week after a protracted absence, providing relief to Pakistan’s hot cities. But there are difficulties involved.
While there are numerous advantages to rain, it can also have negative health effects and even pose a threat to life.
Each year, the monsoon season results in thousands of injuries and a number of fatalities. The most frequent effects of rain include collapsed structures, electrocution, and automobile accidents.
Inadequate drainage infrastructure is one of the causes of urban flooding. Here are some safety measures you can take while it’s raining, though.We are all aware of how well water conducts electricity. Stormy weather can cause power wires to snap, turning a pool of water into a death trap.
If you must go outside, do not wade through water if you notice fallen or broken electrical lines.
It is best to refrain from touching wet electrical switches, such as doorbells.
