V Health Department In Lakeland Park Tips For Flood Victims DOROTHY LENSE , ' 385-6517 The recent flooding in McHenry county has not only been destructive to property but poses potential dangers and health hazards to all persons involved. Persons who have had to evacuate their homes temporarily and are preparing to return to their homes should exercise due caution for flood related hazards. Those who have been affected by flood waters but who remained in their home during the high water should be aware of the health hazards that may be lurking in their homes. The McHenry County Department of Health has issued recom­ mendations. Before entering your house make sure that it is safe and not about to collapse. It would be advisable to have your building inspector check your home for structural soundness before you step inside the door. _ Let your house air for several minutes to remove foul odors or escaped gas. Do not smoke or use open flame until you are sure that it is safe to do so. On entering, bear in mind, that there may be holes in the floor - or loose boards with nails sticking up. After dark use a flashlight to avoid igniting escaped gas. Do not turn on an electrical system; it may have become short-circuited. Turn off gas at meter or tank. Do not pump out basements too soon or too fast. Structural damage to wall and floors results from pumping out too soon or too fast. The house should be clean and dry before any attempt is made to live in it. Electrical Circuits: Do not turn on lights or appliances until the whole system has been checked out by an electrician for short circuits. Wear rubber soled shoes or boots and rubber gloves. Chimneys: Any chimney that has been subjected to water action should be inspected promptly. Fires and carbon monoxide gas poisoning can result from use of defective chimneys. Water Supplies, Plumbing and Sanitation: Water supply that has been subjected to flooding must be considered contaminated and unsafe to drink. If there is any question of safety of the water supply, contact your health depart­ ment. There are two general methods by which small quantities of water can be ef­ fectively disinfected. One method is by boiling. It is a positive method by which water can be made bacteriologically safe to drink. Boiling for 10 minutes will kill any disease - causing bacteria present in water. The flat taste of boiled water can be improved by pouring it back and forth from one disinfected container to another, by allowing it to stand for a few hours, or by adding a small pinch of salt for each quart of water boiled. (Salt should not be added to water used by persons on a salt restricted diet). Water may also be disin­ fected chemically by adding 10 drops of common household bleach to 1 gallon of con­ taminated water. Mix thoroughly and allow to stand 30 minutes in open container. The water should have slight chlorine odor; if not, repeat the dosage and allow to stand an additional 15 minutes. If there is too strong a chlorine taste, allow to stand exposed to air for a few hours or by pouring back and forth from one clean container to another several times. Swamped sewage disposal installations imperil the health of man and animals in flooded areas. Your Department of Health has the responsibility for enforcement of health - measures and have people trained to help you. Any problem relating to water purity, waste disposal, or rodent control. should be referred to them. They can also help you with many insect problems. Household Mechanical Equipment: Have motors for pumps, refrigerators, freezers, ranges, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, food mixers, and other household equipment examined by a competent person to check that they are safe to connect to electric current. Food: Flood waters carry filth and disease bacteria from sewage systems, or backed-up sewage. Food, drugs, medical supplies or cosmetics that have been covered by flood-waters may be unsafe to use and should be discarded. ' Precaution Against Disease: You can help prevent typhoid fever and other dangerous diseases in the following ways: Destroy fresh meats, poultry, fruits and vegetables, prepared and processed foods, medicines and cosmetics in cardboard containers and other packages that are not hermetically sealed if they have been in contact with flood waters. This includes flour and other commodities in bags. Destroy the contents of crown-capped bottles and screw-top glass containers, including canned food in glass jars, if the containers have been covered by flood waters. Seepage can carry harmful bacteria into the contents of all but the most tightly sealed containers. Experience has shown that the only flood-damaged foods that are entirely safe for salvage are those in sealed metal cans but such containers should be carefully cleaned and disinfected before opening. Clothing and Bedding: Bacteria can remain alive in and on fabrics for long periods. Since floodwaters can often carry disease-producing bacteria, the use of disinfectant in some phase of the laundry cycle is recommended. Four types of disinfectants - quar- ternary, pine oil, phenolic and chlorine (liquid chlorine bleach) are effective. Mattresses soaked with floodwater are generally damaged beyond use and should be discarded. Protection Against Tetanus: Persons with open sores or who have been inflicted with wounds while working in flood waters are cautioned to check with their family physicians for the necessity of having tetanus prophylaxis or boosters.
