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.
