Текст аудирования:
Interviewer: Hello and welcome to taskThe Morning Showtask. Today our guest is Mary Stewart, a flood safety expert, who is here to tell us how to prepare for a flood and what safety precautions people should take. Welcome to the show, Mary.
Mary Stewart: Thanks for having me.
Interviewer: So, Mary tell us what we need to do to prepare for a flood!
Mary Stewart: Well, in order to decrease the likelihood of flood damage I recommend that homeowners put weather protection sealant around ground-level windows and doors. People should also store their important documents on higher levels in their homes to protect them from flood damage.
Interviewer: And what if a flood is imminent?
Mary Stewart: In that case, they should move furniture, electrical appliances and other belongings to the floors above ground level. During a flood it is important that people keep their radio on to find out the affected areas and what roads are safe. Every homeowner should also keep their emergency kit close at hand.
Interviewer: What is the greatest danger to people?
Mary Stewart: Well, that depends on where people live and the time of year the flood occurs. Some dangers can include being swept away by strong currents, being hit by fast flowing debris carried by the water and, most importantly, the flooding of roads and bridges.
Interviewer: What should people not do in a flood?
Mary Stewart: Firstly, people shouldntaskt ignore flood warnings and they shouldntaskt disobey orders from emergency services or evacuation orders. They also shouldntaskt drive through flood waters or underpasses. The water may be deeper than it looks and cars can get stuck or swept away by fast water. They should also avoid crossing bridges if the water is high and flowing quickly. And once people leave their houses they shouldntaskt return home until the authorities have advised that it is safe to do so.
Interviewer: Is the outbreak of disease a possibility?
Mary Stewart: Oh, most certainly. The most common diseases are the ones that come from drinking contaminated water. However, people also get allergic reactions to moulds that grow within furniture, rugs and walls of buildings. I recommend a thorough cleaning of all flooded buildings. Interviewer: Well, thattasks all the time we have for today. Lettasks hope our listeners will keep this in mind. Mary, thank you so much for coming in. Ittasks been very interesting.
Mary Stewart: Thank you.
