Tips for Managing Stress During Flooding :-

· Be alert to emotional exhaustion or strain. Signs may include general anxiety, difficulty communicating thoughts or feelings, limited attention span, becoming easily frustrated or irritable, and cold or flu-like symptoms.

· When family members and neighbors are unavailable for emotional support, turn to community health centers, mental health organizations, substance abuse counselors or self-help groups, or clergy.
