Always Take the Stairs
Taking the stairs is a healthy habit, but If you live in an apartment building or work somewhere that has several floors, it might be tempting to use the elevator. However, take note that during a flood you should never take an elevator to get to the bottom floors in order to escape the building. In case of a flood or even serious rains, make sure you always take the stairs.
This is an important note to remember, not only because of the obvious not wanting to be confined in an elevator if flood water starts to seep through the cracks. But also because even if it is dry inside, the flood can cause electrical outages. The last thing anyone wants is to be trapped in an elevator for any amount of time.
