Increased chances of electrocution in both domestic and industrial settings
Power surge and short circuits—especially in poorly insulated areas.
Natural LIGHTNING may catch YOU. Stay Inside Shelter.

💥 Physical Hazards

Slippery surfaces, weakened structures, falling branches, and waterlogging. create trip, slip, and impact risks.
Poor visibility and wet roads increase chances of accidents.
Risk of injuries from falling signage, construction debris, or open drains.

🦠 Biological Hazards

Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for vector-borne diseases (dengue, malaria).
Mold, mildew, and bacterial growth spike due to high humidity and moisture
Contaminated food and water sources can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses.
