Nigeria's rainy season brings flash floods to towns and cities and river flooding along the Niger and Benue. Water damage is usually not sudden: it is wet documents, a phone that stops working, no light when the power is out. A few inexpensive items, kept in one bag, solve most of that.

- Put passports, NIN, certificates, land papers and some cash in the document pouch, inside the dry bag.
- Charge the torch, headlamp and phone every time the power is on.
- Store 5–10 L of clean drinking water per person, off the floor.
- Move electronics, generators and chemicals above the last flood line in your area.
- Know the way to higher ground from home and from work; agree a family meeting point.
- Save your state emergency management agency and NEMA (112) in every phone.
- Never walk or drive through moving flood water: 15 cm of moving water can knock an adult over.
