What are the dangers of heavy rain?

Heavy rain impacts various aspects of everyday life. It creates both higher levels of danger and makes finding solutions more difficult. Older infrastructures are primary targets in these situations. More prone to poor insulation, they become victims to floods. This can gravely harm the people and objects inside the premises. Moreover, water can easily damage electrical lines and safety systems. This would make the building more prone to external threats as well. Mould is also a common issue that results from heavy rains. It can not only be harmful to people’s health but can also damage electronics. It may destroy a device and render them unusable by infiltrating components without users realising.

How to take appropriate precautions?

Insulation should always be a priority. In buildings that are older, steps to achieve this are more tedious. This can often result in a long and expensive process. Regardless, safety should still be present no matter what. One can ensure this by installing reliable systems through any weather. Wireless and weatherproof devices can withstand damage for longer. Moreover, placement is key. Devices placed higher up such as on ceilings or poles can help moderate risks. Testing equipment often is essential to ensure it remains reliable at all times. It is important to have devices able to function even if one component is malfunctioning. Those issues may arise during heavy rains and high humidity situations. Regardless, it should not always cause an entire system to be inoperative. This would create an even more expensive and time-consuming issue to fix.

Floods Dangers and Precautions

What are the Dangers of floods ?

Floods happen in different intensities. However, no flood should be taken lightly. It can be easy to think of it as innocent and easy to control, but a real danger lies in a lack of awareness. In just a few hours, water levels can rise up to 5 meters. What was originally water depth below your knees can quickly turn into something able to drown cars. The other cause of concern with floods is that they often cause power blackouts. This makes it difficult to see in the dark, but also to communicate with others. Clear communication and signaling are essential in situations of stress or danger. During a flood then, one is stuck in a situation where danger hazards can be everywhere, with no real way to tell how worried one should be, or for how long.

How to take appropriate precautions?

Although one cannot fully prevent them, there are ways to minimise both floods risks and consequences. Staying prepared and aware is one of the most essential things to do. This means knowing that risks exist and that one may have to face them one day. Schools for instance should provide training for teachers and students in case of an emergency evacuation. If in a known flood zone, it is important to spread awareness all year long using prints or emails, for instance, to keep citizens aware and knowledgeable. During an actual flood, finding a safe space will always be a priority. To do this, there are two main important things to remember: to know the depth of the water and to avoid electrical wires. Those two steps can make the biggest difference. Awareness then is a lifesaver during this kind of situation.

Why Hazavoid?

Hazavoid is a wireless alert system that can function with a backup battery, or on solar power. This means that even in a situation of loss of power, the system will continue to work and alert as normal. Moreover, it is fully wireless, during floods, electric wires are the main danger, and electrocution can be deadly. The system operates easily on walls or poles to stay above the surface and to reach as many as possible. It is possible to pair your WiLAS (Wireless Alert Siren) Solution pictured above to a WiLERT (Wireless Alert) Beacon System for complete protection, wherever and whenever. It is also easy to fully personalise your system with different sounds and alerts with your WiLAS System. If the built-in “Evacuate” tone is not enough, one can add their own message, such as “Flood Alert”. Our solution ensures to keep you as safe as possible, for as long as possible
