    It is critical for you to remember to practice basic hygiene during the emergency period. Always wash your hands with soap and water that has been boiled or disinfected:

    • before preparing or eating food;

    • after toilet use;

    • after participating in flood cleanup activities; and

    • after handling articles contaminated with flood water or sewage.

    When clean water is not available, you can use alcohol-based products made for washing hands. More tips on hand washing are available at www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/handwashing.asp.
