1. ALWAYS HAVE FLASHLIGHTS FULLY CHARGED OR BATTERIES READY

Flooding may occur at night. Avoid using kerosene-fueled wick lamps. Kerosene that may be accidentally spilled floats on water and may cause fire.

2. IMMINENT FLOOD

If you think your home may become flooded, move as many electrical equipment as possible to higher places of your home above the anticipated flood level.

3. TURN OFF ELECTRICITY BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Shut off all electrical power before you leave by turning off the main service switch.

4. RETURN HOME SAFELY

Make sure your way home is clear of any downed and drowned live electrical power lines. There could be a live power line hidden by the leaves or scattered debris.

5. HANDLE DOWNED TREES, BRANCHES OR DEBRIS WITH EXTREME CAUTION

Always keep yourself insolated, wear rubber boots and gloves especially if electricity is already restored in your area

6. ENTERING FLOODED ROOMS OR AREA

Make sure there are no electrical equipment that may still be plugged-in that may cause electric shock. Electricity flows through water or wet materials like carpets. Always keep yourself insolated; also, wear rubber boots and gloves.

7. RE-ENERGIZING YOUR HOME

We strongly recommend to have your electrical system tested by a licensed electrician before re-energizing your home after being flooded.

8. SWITCHING BACK ON

Make sure your main fuse or circuit breaker is working before switching on the main switch for the first time after being flooded. Do not attempt to use any electrical appliances that have been wet unless tested by a capable technician.

This year, once again, 25 June will mark the annual Day of the Seafarer (DotS).

Seafarers wellbeing

2017 and 2018 have seen strong momentum in the industry to address seafarer's wellbeing, particularly their mental health.

To give further exposure to this important issue, our choice for the 2018 Day of the Seafarer theme is "seafarers' wellbeing".

By addressing the issue of seafarers' wellbeing and particularly mental health, this campaign can inform specific strategies to tackle stress and other issues affecting seafarers' mental conditions - and make the tools available more widely known.

The campaign will seek to highlight and showcase best practices and good examples but will also, inevitably, bring out areas of concern and examples of shortcomings.
