• Description:
  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.
