Where to Park Your Car Safely During a Flood?
1 Answers
Parking your car on higher ground is safe during a flood. Precautions when the vehicle stalls: If your vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, do not attempt to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod components due to the incompressibility of water, and in severe cases, it may lead to complete engine failure. Precautions for parking and driving: When parking, avoid areas near buildings, bridges, or underground parking lots with aging drainage systems. It is not advisable to drive during flood conditions. If driving is necessary, exercise extreme caution. Avoid driving on slippery mountain roads, waterlogged areas, or underpasses if safety cannot be guaranteed.
