2.To be in love is to posses in something that is beyond the reach of age time
3.To give love is to be rich in the joys that give color to each day
4.To share love with someone is to know the fullest meaning of what happiness can be.

FLOODS

Congratulation to all of us for active participitation in discussing the related topic.All of us give very good comment and opinion to share together.
For me,floods are the common hazards in Malaysia.It happend anytime andanywhere especially during rainy season.However some floods develop slowly,sometimes over a period of day.If flash floods,it can develop quickly,just few minutes and without any visible sign of rain.It always happend at Kuala Lumpur.
The common flood-related disease have been point in the article like infectious disease such as gastrointestinal disease,dermatits,conjuctivitis,leptospirosis and vector-borne disease such as dengue and malaria.
Other flood-related disease which not mention in the article such as Dysentry,Influenze and Chlorea.Dysentry is an inflammation of the bowels by bacteria such as Escherichia Coli causing a severe diarrhea.Other type of bacteria like Shigella and Ameba Entamoeba also causing a severe diarrhea.Diarrhea spread by germs from feaces entering the mouth.The germs can be spread by dirty enviroment like dirt utensil.Another flood-related disease is mold infection by fungi.Mold spore grow in a moist enviroment that contents organic matter.
Prevntion is the best way to curb the disease.Be aware of flood hazards no matter where you live,especially if you live ia a low-lying are near water or downstream from a dam.Routine sanitary procedures are essential dor disease prevention.Hands must be washed with soap after toilet use,after participating in flood clean up activities and after handling contaminated with flood water or sewage.Children not be allowed to play in flooded area.Water must be boiled before preparing or eating food.From Public Health must interventions to conduct assessment to determine the status of public health infrastructure,utilities(e.g. water,sewage and electricity) and health,medical and pharmaceutical needs.Must educate public regarding proper sanitation and good hygine.Organize delivery of health care services and suppliesand continuity of care.

Mariah (G74470)

ASSIGNMENT 1

The most common flood-related disease is gastrointestinal disease. Other flood-related diseases which are not mentioned in the article are diseases cause by protozoal such as amoebiasis, cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis and allergic infections for example meningitis.

How to curb gastrointestinal disease so that flood victim will not have to suffer from this disease? In my opinion, because gastrointestinal disease is acquired by ingesting contaminated food and water, the authority should supply them with clean packed cooked food, clean drinking water and clean water supply for cleaning purposes until the situation come to normal. Of course these actions will involved big sum of money, required more volunteers and effective management but I believed it is worth for the sake of those precious life.

I think it is also a great idea if flood victims can be educated regarding this infectious disease by giving them information via talks, handouts, radio and television programs and so on. With proper knowledge, come understanding and prevention because nobody wants to become sick.

Flood victims should be placed in many designated flood relief centre in order to prevent over populated if put in only one place, make it easy to control sanitation and to lessen human to human contact in order to avoid spreading this enteric infections.

To strengthen their immune systems, flood victims should be advised to take daily vitamin supplements beside their diets. Another idea is to give them supplementary injection of a vaccine to maintain resistance to gastrointestinal disease.

Hi everybody!

Phew!! At last i manage to get in this blog. I have spend quite some time to read all the posts... very interesting but somehow make me stressful just because of my self moving house and everything have not settled yet.

Assalamualaikum..n salam sejahtera

I just want to inform kak Boop that I really want to join a revision class especially in Biostat. I hope u will confirm with us regarding the date that u had mention before ( if not mistaken by 24th Mac ).

To all my frens, I hope somebody will take over the responsibility to conduct or make an appoinment on behalf of us , about our revision class. I think it would be nice if we can make it by next week because after that ,we still have another week to study.Maybe our frens (Adik Mus , Faza, Ain n our leader ) who work or stay at KCKL willing to do this becoz it easier to contact the lecturer.

I think all of us still remembered that our final revision class last sem help most of us to study and get an important point from the lecturer.So, I'm really hope that we can make it again for this time.

I'll try to send an email to Dr.Rohi today about our suggestion n hopefully that he will agree.I think next week is the most suitable time ,right ?Please somebody suggest the date n time.

Republish my blog assignment.Sorry.

Yesterday I was go through our blog because I want edit my blog assignment article.I was confused because I'm cannot find my article.I think maybe I forgot to click at publish post button or I accidental deleted it.So hopefully Kak Mas will accept it and forgive me because I'm so careless.Here I republish my article.

With the current trends of global warming due to “greenhouse gases” effect, changes in global climate resulted from rapid industrialization, we expected a wide range of negative health impact that will be affecting the health of many Malaysian and other people in many other countries. It is believed that, there will be potential depletion of resources such as water and food availability, loss of territory following sea-level rise, changes in the sanitary and hygiene situations of many populations, rise in vector and pest breeding areas, deterioration ambient air quality and increasing frequencies and intensities from extreme weather events from heat, natural hazards, flood and drought.

With such scenarios, without any appropriate mitigation measures and adaptability programs planned and implemented, we would expect higher incidence of mortality and morbidity from vector borne diseases such as from malaria and dengue, food and water borne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery etc, infant and maternal mortality, morbidity and mortality from cardio-respiratory related diseases and suffering from natural disaster especially among the venerable groups of people such as infant, pregnant women, elderly and the sick people.
Any wound which breaks the surface of the skin, particularly puncture wounds or deep cuts, can result in tetanus (lockjaw).Any one receiving a wound where the skin is penetrated should consult a physician to assure that the wound is clean and not infected and that their tetanus immunization is current. Other diseases may appear as a result of flooding, notably infectious
hepatitis and possibly dysentery or diarrhea. There is no good immunization against these diseases. Excellent personal hygiene and the avoidance of eating or drinking contaminated foods are the prime preventive measures.

Drinking water contaminated by floodwater may carry microorganisms capable of producing diarrhea, dysentery, enteritis, infectious hepatitis, and other water-borne diseases. Listen to the news to find if your public water supply is contaminated. Public water supplies usually will not be contaminated and should be used whenever possible. However, all drinking water from wells which may have been contaminated by floodwater should be boiled at least two minutes.
For drinking: Boil all bulk (hauled-in) water for at least two minutes. Other liquids, such as pop and bottled water, that are sealed by the producer, may be used directly from the container.
For dishwashing: Dishes may be washed in clear, non-drinkable water if rinsed in hot, drinkable water. Otherwise, wash and rinse in hot, drinkable water.
For brushing teeth: Clean, non-boiled water may be safe, but it is best to use boiled water.
For other uses: Water out of the tap (if available) may be used for showering and toilet flushing.

If levels of nitrate in the water were not elevated before the flood, they will not be a problem as a result of flooding because of the extreme dilution factor. Chemicals and pesticides are not considered to be a problem in floodwaters due to the extreme dilution factor.

All canned foods, meats, and vegetables in direct or indirect contact with floodwater should be treated as follows:
1. Throw away food containers showing signs of leakage or
swelling.
2. Destroy the contents of corked bottles and screw-top glass
containers that have been covered by floodwaters.
3. All canned goods with a metal seal that have been covered
with floodwater should be carefully washed with soapy, hot
water. Sterilize the end of the washed can to be opened by
dipping it into boiling water for 30 seconds or wiping the
top with full-strength chlorine bleach. Be sure the can
opener is clean.
4. Destroy all root and garden vegetables or foods in cardboard
or similar containers in contact with floodwaters unless they
will be thoroughly cooked or are soaked in disinfecting
solutions before eating.

Failure of home refrigeration facilities for one day or more may lead to food spoilage.
When kept unrefrigerated for a long period of time, some foods are not safe and should be destroyed. Cooked foods, such as stews or leftovers stored in deep freezers should be used if thawed. Thawed foods should not be refrozen. If the freezer temperature has been 50 degree or higher for several hours, thawed foods may be used within a few hours. Such thawed meats should be cooked nicely before eating. When the floodwater has left the home, scrub all affected surfaces with soap and water, then rinse with a chlorine solution of one-half cup household chlorine laundry bleach to each gallon of water. Do not mix chlorine with ammonia or other cleansers containing ammonia. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the bathroom, handling contaminated articles or working in flood cleanup, and before preparing or eating food. Clean non-drinkable water may be used, but drinkable water is preferred.

TUTORIAL CLASS FOR BIOSTATISTIC

Thanks to Izammudin that remind all of us by his poem. Yeah I wish everybody now are trying the best to pass the coming exam. To you Izam, not only yourself is busy, everybody also busy with the respectively schedule. Don't worry you got friends that not less busy than you.

Last two week I meet Prof Bahar at my college, he said he willing to do a tutorial class for Biostatistic, if somebody interested please inform me to set the time. I will contact Prof. Actually we Pengajar KTMP plan to make an appoitment with him on 24/3 but haven't confirm so if anybody had meet him please imform others. Regarding to the revision class we pengajar KTMP, cannot make it by 1st - 4th april because are outstation so if anybody had arrange please consider to us. We also need tuition.

My Late Blog Assigment

Floods are the most common natural disaster in both developed and developing countries and occasionally of devastating impact cause by high rainfall, tidal extremes and structural failure. A flood is a natural event that can have far reaching effects on people and the environment. Floodwater can seriously disrupt public represents a serious health hazard, along with standing water and wet materials in the home. Bacteria, mould and viruses, cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after a flood. Findings indicate that no significant change of concern was observed in the prevalence rates of common diseases such as Fecal-oral disease, Vector-borne disease and mental health.

Fecal-oral diseases are infections of the intestinal tract. Symptoms include fever, nausea, cramps, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea. Diarrhea can cause dehydration, which means the body lacks enough fluid to function properly. Acute diarrhea is usually related to a bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection. Chronic diarrhea is usually related to functional disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.

A vector-borne disease is one in which the pathogenic microorganism is transmitted from an infected individual to another individual by an arthropod or other agent, sometimes with other animals serving as intermediary hosts. Many important infections are transmitted by mosquitoes, which breed in, or close to, stagnant or slow-moving water. The transmission depends upon the attributes and requirements of at least three different living organisms: the pathologic agent, either a virus, protozoa, bacteria, or helminth.

The World Health Organization recognizes that the mental health consequences of floods have not been fully although it is generally accepted that natural disasters. The main evidence relates to common mental disorder, posttraumatic stress syndrome, and suicide. Posttraumatic stress disorder arises after a stressful event of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature and is characterized by intrusive memories, avoidance of circumstances associated with the stressor, sleep disturbances, irritability and anger, lack of concentration and excessive vigilance.

The precaution need to be taken by the flood victim to reduce the possibility of illness, disease or injury. Never use contaminated water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash your hands, wash and prepare food, make ice or make baby formula. Always wash your hands with soap and safe water that has been boiled or disinfected before preparing or eating food, after toilet use, after participating in flood cleanup activities, and after handling articles contaminated with floodwater or sewage.

The contaminated area contains harmful bacteria and viruses and needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Appropriate clean up procedures includes use rubber gloves, boots and eye protection. Remove and discard contaminated household materials that cannot be cleaned or disinfected. .Clean and disinfect all contaminated areas with hot water and detergent. Then disinfect the contaminated area, cleaning mops, brooms and brushers with the bleach solution. Clean and dry dirty footwear and wash your clothes separately after clean up. Wash your hands and any affected parts of your body with soap and water.

Flood victim need to prevent food via direct contact or indirectly during interrupted power supply by throw away food that has an unusual odour, colour or texture and perishable foods including meat, poultry, fish, eggs or leftovers that have been left at above 5 degrees Celsius for more than 4 hours. Destroy all canned food if the can is open, bulging or damaged and containers with screw-caps, snap-lids, crimped caps, twist caps, flip top lids and home canned foods. Finally, the flood victim should do frequently medical check up to avoid any disease and illness.

In Case of Flood
Obviously, when flooding occurs there is an increase risk of water-borne diseases going around due to the excess water from the floods. Moreover, the risk increases in relocation areas or areas where people are housed temporarily due to the fact that they were forced to abandon their homes because of the flood waters.
During floods, one of the most common flood-related disease is cholera. By relocating huge numbers of people and cramming them in small confined areas, sanitation would certainly become a problem. The water and food supplies would become contaminated and people would likely develop infection of the gut causing chronic diarrhea and vomiting, both symptoms of cholera. Significant improvements shows that people may died as a result of cholera. One of the major considerations during floods and mass displacement of people is where to get clean water supply. Because floods can easily contaminate drinking-water facilities, diseases like typhoid fever can easily become an outbreak.
A partner of cholera is dysentery which is caused by parasites also from contaminated food and water. Nausea, loose bowel movement, weight loss, and occasional fever are the general symptoms of dysentery. Each one is potentially dangerous in itself, thus combining the two is really deadly.
During floods, the risk of drowning, having injuries and trauma are higher. Be careful during wading on flood waters and also maneuvering ourself in flooded areas. Also, watch out for hypothermia. Long exposure to the cold floodwaters can easily lead to it. Children are more prone to hypothermia than adults. They are other diseases that can be spread through the air, by direct contact or through contaminated body fluids. Some examples of communicable diseases include, tuberculosis, measles, pertussis, meningitis, and hepatitis B. Tularemia is an acute bacterial disease transmitted to humans by hard ticks, biting flies, and direct contact with infected wild animals such as rabbits, hares, muskrats, beavers and also Blackleg, caused by micro-organisms spread over fields by standing water, is a potentially serious postflood disease.
Vector-borne diseases result from infections transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. The vector-borne pathogens, which include viruses, rickettsiae, bacteria, protozoa, and worm parasites, spend part of their life cycle in a cold-blooded arthropod vector and thus are influenced by environmental change.
The treatment of cholera and dysentery are through antibiotics but since drugs don’t work that fast because of the resilience of the disease. Therefore, in cases where flood victims are diagnosed with cholera and dysentery, immediate rehydration would be the best approach to save their lives. But of course, improving sanitation in the evacuation areas and making sure that the water and food supplies are clean are the best ways to avoid a epidemic to occur. One of the major considerations during floods and mass displacement of people is where to get clean water supply. Because floods can easily contaminate drinking-water facilities, disease like typhoid fever can easily become an outbreak.
I really agree with Sharil Nizam and others that the most common disease which easily spread out is by using infected water. As we know that we are using water everyday and the chances is very high to get the diseases.

I have visited your website and viewed all your photos. Very good job...and congratulations also coz some of your photos have been selected in Reuters and BBC news. Keep up your good work!!!

Is it true??????

Assalamualaikum and good evening....

When I open our blog today (after a few days)...wahhh so cheerful. But I'm also shock when heard about Hj. Anuar. Is it true Hj? I hope that it's not true and just a rumours. I know that you can go through all this. You are a good student and it was proved with your very good result at the 1st semester. I think all of us still remember that Hj Anuar was the only one who gave a good English presentation with his finger pointing at screen. As Hawa said...we have only 3 semester to finish and I also hope that all of us will graduate together.
May be all of us don't know what is your problem but I hope that you already 'istikharah' to make this hard decision. Insya Allah....Allah will show you the best way....

Wassalam

TRUE LOVES

The Prophet's Love For His People

Something to think about....

How would you feel if you found out that someone was thinking about you more than 1400 years ago?

A few days before he left this world, the Prophet Muhammad was heard saying....

" I wish that I had met my brothers....."

His companions, who were around him said, "We are your brothers !"

He replied ; " You are my companions. But my brothers are...."

" those who come after me, and believe in me without seeing me !"

This shows a glimpse of our Prophet's love for us...

And of course, we claim to love him as well....

But when love becomes limited to words, it becomes meaningless,

And when the loved one's advise is not taken seriously, it invalidates this love....

As for the significance of sincere devotion [ikhlas], Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He)
has said:
And they have been commanded only to serve Allah, making the religion His sincerely as
men of pure faith. (98:5)
wa ma umiru illa li-ya'budu 'llaha mukhlisina la-hu 'd-din:hunafa'a.
He has told us (Glorious and Exalted is He):
Surely pure religion is only for Allah. (39:3)
a-la li'llahi 'd-dinu 'l-khalis.
He has said (Exalted is He):
Their flesh and blood do not reach Allah, yet your devotion reaches Him. (22:37)
lan yanala 'llaha luhumu-ha wa la dima'u-ha wa lakin yanalu-hu 't-taqwa min-kum.
He has also told us (Magnificent is His Majesty):
Say [to the people of the Scripture]:
"Do you dispute with us concerning Allah, when He is our Lord and your Lord?"
Ours are our works and yours are your works, and we are sincerely devoted to Him.
(2:139)
qul a-tuhajjuna-na fi 'llahi wa Huwa Rabbu-na wa Rabbu-kum:wa la-na a'malu-na wa
la-kum a'malu-kum: wa nahnu la-hu mukhlisun.

IN CASE OF FLOOD

ENVIRONMENT HEALTH ( PRE READING ACTIVITY )

Hj Anuar.b Ali ( G74462 )

Natural disaster sometimes it of course unpredictable. Proportion of all did not even expect think. Natural disaster phenomenon can happen split second without warning but flood disaster that struck in our state still could be detected with signs.
Like other natural disaster that happens worldwide, stay thing and life estate in critical condition. In those circumstances cannot avoid this, security knowledge and early preparation to face highly useful flood. Stated affairs get save the life or at least control high loss. Three important moments must take attention in facing flood season involving precautions to before flood time, when first flood.

Flood is state of things in which water went up exceed danger level and declared flood by side powerful. Willing researched by Meteorology Organization A Universal (WMO), flood is natural disaster third-largest already sacrifice a lot life and destroyed property. Flood problem in the country was closely related flooded among rainy season and flash flood. Focused people and development expansion in basin and river valley have been ridden easily water cause occurrence of floods difficult to be avoided. Flood frequency also improved change result land use which flow system in unable low-lying area issue rain flow heavy and drainage system experience result sedimentation development.

Preparation before the floods:
• Obtain information of flood in your place.
• Make Sure system warning flood, delivered and preparation information local flood.
• Check hole water either drain or sewer. Clean obstacle and make sure it tightly
closed that water flood no overflow went through it.
• Make sure evacuation centre and disaster relief centre in your place, make
planning and emergency evacuation training.
• Prepare emergency equipments.
• Make sure all your family member know ways act during emergency at home.

Action after the flood:
• Check channel gas which may broken or leaking.
• Check flex infused in water.
• Check electrical appliances that sink.
• Check easy materials burnt may flow enter by flood (kerosene, petrol, diesel etc).
• Dump food immersed or affected water flood including tinned food.
• Check septic tank damage to avoid biology danger.
• Report any damage public facilities to the authorities.






Infectious disease risk:
Customary that physical destruction accompanying awful great flood. When water flood ebb, it may give threatening that bigger for security and health person. Not lag impact of stress mental among victim suffer damage residential, property, livestock, crop nor loss beloved person. To flood season, well during and after it, endowment infectious illnesses water as typhoid fever and cholera, usually easy to spread if the measures duly not taken up. Heavy rain will cause spillover flood and brings along garbage, water sewage and chemical from the factory and industry. This flood as water will cause poisonous materials will rise to the surface and pay negative impact.

Us how can look after the health in evacuation centre?
• Always drinking water already cooked.
• Eating food cook only. To avoid raw food as vegetable ( ulaman.)
• Guard personal hygiene and surrounding area.
• Obey advice those given by health staff.
• Obtain all injection if give.
• Use basic amenities that are provided as toilet, dustbin and others.

People south Peninsula may not that provide against this natural disaster when take into account area inhabited before this never ride water. This affairs is different with the people in the east coast more prepared Peninsula because every year have to face with flood problem.In facing environment such, all party please persevere accept test and follow direction of the authority to make sure assistance can be channeled quickly to the victim those involved.

CASES OF FLOOD

Floods happen when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water. Floods can give the major impact on the health systems esspecially the human populations because the range of possible health outcomes is not very good. The direct and immediate impacts on humans health includes loss of life, injuries, lack of clean water and destroyed sewage systems. Floods also can cause the damage of infrastructural, contamination the water supplies, spread and bring out many kinds of diseases, shortage of food crops and slow down the economics.
Floods can potentially increase the water borne diseases like gastrointestinal disease, conjunctivitis, dermatitis, leptospirosis and cases of vector borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. The gastrointestinal diseases like cholera and diarrheal infections are the most common flood related diseases because it can easily spread or contracted after drinking water or eating food contaminated by common bacteria pathogens such as Vibrio cholera that produce toxins, Escherichia coli (EPEC)0157 particularly in infants and young children and thypoid bacteria like Salmonella and Shigella. Transmission of other parasites such as Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba histolytica, and Gardia lamblia occurs when a person eats or drinks something that has been contamination with infection faeces. The outbreak involved mostly in adults and also children and was controlled after adequate water and sanitation facilities were provided. Poorly treated human sewage contains pathogens that are a key cause of diarrheal infections. Bacteria pathogens also present in public water supplies where the floods can contaminated the underground pipelines and dislocation of storage tanks. Therefore, the water supplies in home may be not unsafe for drinking, cooking or other routine working. The other symptoms involved with flood related diseases include vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, allergic and abdominal cramps. However, loss of body fluids rapidly can lead to dehydration because the electrotytes imbalance in the body. Loss of body fluids can treat by replacement with the normal saline or oral rehydration salt. A healthy person may becomes hypotensive within an hour of the onset of symptoms and may die within 2-3 hours if no treatment is provided.
Other flood related diseases which are not mentioned in the article are mold infection. Mold is the common type of fungi infection. Mold is a kind of microscopic fungi. There are many types of mold are present throught out the environment, indoors and out. Tiny mold particles are always present in the air, in the form of tiny microscopic cells known as spores. Mold spores can grow and seat in a moist or damp environment or any surface that contains organic matter. A home that been flooded can provided ideal conditions or the growth and poliferation of mold. Peoples who are exposure to very long period of mold, can get more serious problem such as nasal and sinus congestion, cough,wheeze or breathing difficulties, sore throat, skin and eye irritation and upper respiratory infections. The group that have been risk to the mold infections such as infants, children, elderly, individuals with respiratory conditions, allergies, asthma problem and persons with weakened immune systems(HIV infection, cancer patients taking chemotherapy,organ transplant recepients). The places are very easily mold to growth are, damages building structural, such as ceiling, walls, carpet, woodwork, sink, furniture, cabinets ,tiles bathroom and other strored items. Removal and cleaning are important because even dead mold may cause allergic reactions. To prevent mold growth, clean wet items and surfaces with detergent and water.

The alternative ways to curb one of the diseases especially the water borne diseases are water quality, food safety, sanitation and personal hygiene, precautions during handling clean -up activities and take the immunisation when appropriate. The public are advised to used only water that have boiled or treated with chlorine and iodine for drinking, eating food that have been thoroughly cooked and avoid food or drinks from street vendors. The public also must wash the cloths or anything that contact with flood water more completely. Practice proper hand washing also to prevent infection with certain pathogens that may be transmitted from farm animals. Secure all food sources and remove any animal carcasses to avoid attracting rats. Wear insect repellant when outdoors because it can lead to more mosquitoes, which can carry disease. For mold infection,use rubber gloves, eye goggles and wear outer clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) that can removed before leaving the working area.People who have health problems should not do clean up work where there is heavy mold growth or materials contaminated with mold.

FLOODING by Mohamed Heikkal Ismail

Flooding affected for 40% of all natural disasters worldwide and causes about half of all deaths from natural disasters. Most floods occur in developing regions and tropical regions where the impact on public health is substantial, the number of people displaced is often large, and the number of deaths is high. In the aftermath of a flood deaths and injuries not only result from the physical characteristics of the event but are also determined by the prevailing socioeconomic and health conditions of the community and any endemic infectious diseases. Increased rates of diarrhoea (including cholera and dysentery), respiratory infections, hepatitis A and E, typhoid fever, leptospirosis, and diseases borne by insects.Waterborne diseases are now a cause for concern.V vulnificus belongs to the cholera bacteria family, and is a rare cause of illness.Malnutrition caused by inadequate supplies of food and problems with distribution compounds of food.
People who are affected by floods are often apprehensive about the potential, long term adverse effects of exposure to contaminants, mould, and toxic substances that may be present in their homes after clean up.The long term effects of flooding on psychological health may perhaps be even more important than illness or injury. For most people the emotional trauma continues long after the water has receded. Making repairs, cleaning up, and dealing with insurance claims can be stressful.Most of the current cases are wound infections in people with underlying medical conditions that are immunocompromising or who have chronic liver diseases.
The public should boil or chlorinate tap water before drink and this is one of the prevention from the flood related diseases but this may be difficult if electricity, gas, and dry wood are not available in the flooding area.

BLOG WRITING ASSIGNMENT

IN CASE OF FLOOD

Natural disaster in the world such as floods make an enormous impact on the environment and society. In areas largely inhabited by people, there are both positive and negative environmental effects of flooding. Floods can distribute large amounts of water and suspended river sediment over vast areas. In many areas, this sediment helps replenish valuable topsoil components to agricultural lands and can keep the elevation of a land mass above sea level.
On the negative side, floods disrupt normal drainage systems in cities and typically overwhelm sewer systems. Thus, raw or partially raw sewage spills are common in flooded area. Additionally, if the flood is severe enough, destruction of buildings that can contain a large array of toxic materials (paints, pesticides, gasoline, etc..) can cause the release of these materials into the local environment, which is not good. Floods disrupt many people's lives each year and personal tragedies due to flooding occur frequently.
The most common flood-related disease are infectious diseases spread primarily through contaminated water. Though these disease are spread either directly or through flies or filth. Most intestinal diseases are infectious and are transmitted through faecal waste. Thypoid, Cholera, Paratyphoid fever and Bacillary dysentery because of bacterial infections. Infectious Hepatitis (jaundice) and Poliomyelitis because of viral infections and Amoebic dysentery because of Protozoal infections. Another water-related killer is Malaria, is just as potent in this region and the vector-borne diseases, along with dengue fever.
Other flood-related diseases which are not mentioned in the article is skin infections within the flood victims at the flood relief centre such as scabbies, mange and skin rash. Scabbies is caused by a type of mite and it is very contagious. The most coomon symptom of scabbies is extreme itching, particularly at night. Scabbies causes the skin to become red and blistered. Areas of skin affected by scabbies include between the toes and finger, around the wrist, folds of the elbow, armpits, beltline, abdomen, genitalia, nipples, buttocks and the groin. Babies and small children may get it on the face , scalp or soles of the feet.
Scabbies is transferred by direct skin to skin contact within flood victims. It can also be transferred by contact with clothes or bedding that has been contaminated by an infected person. A very common way to get scabbies is to shake hands with an infected person or during physical contact. Scabbies mites only infest humans not the animals and can survive for three or four days if they are away from the human body.
The only way to curb the water-borne and symptoms of scabbies are is to improve the people’s hygienic behaviour and only drinking the boiled water. The simple act of washing hands before eat can reduce the number of diarrheal cases and infections. Everyone living with an infected person with scabbies, as well as intimate contacts, should be immediately treated by Dermisil. The infected persons clothing and bedding needs to be washed in hot water and ironed so as to kill the mite and all of its eggs. So, everyone should be treated at the same time to prevent reinfestation with scabbies from other persons who might be infected but do not have any symptoms yet.
