Do's and don'ts in case you are stranded
Outdoors/In a car: It is important to reach a safe higher ground. Watch out for potholes and open drains.
Do not drive into flooded areas. If the flood water is rising around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you are able to do so safely. You and the vehicle could get swept away quickly.
If the water level has already risen above your bumper, it could rise above the exhaust pipe-level. In this situation, if you try to drive, you may end up sucking water into the engine.
In case you are stuck inside the car, the best way out is through the windshield. Get into the passenger seat, raise your feet and kick out the windshield using both feet. That amount of force should be ideally enough to dislodge the windshield.
