Build the Theme Around One Clear Rule
Use “Stop Before Entering Floodwater” as the central message. Place the title at the top and draw a flooded street across the middle. Divide the scene into unsafe choices and correct actions so readers can quickly understand that they should never test the water, step near a hidden drain, or walk through moving water.
Explain Safety Through Three Everyday Situations
Walking Near a Flooded Road
- Stop, look around, and take a dry route on higher ground.
- Never walk barefoot into floodwater or step where the road surface cannot be seen.
- Stay away from displaced drain covers, damaged roads, and fallen electrical wires.
Riding in a Vehicle
- Do not encourage the driver to enter deep water or follow another vehicle through it.
- If the vehicle stalls or begins taking in water, follow adult instructions, move toward safety, and call for help.
Flooding Near School or Home
- Avoid underground garages, underpasses, basement entrances, and other low-lying spaces.
- Follow teachers, parents, or emergency staff to higher ground without turning back for belongings.
Add a Short Safety Chant
Stop at the water, look around; choose a route on higher ground. Keep from drains and wires too; ask an adult what to do.
Place a short warning beside the chant: “Calm-looking water may hide holes, open drains, or electrical hazards.” Highlight only the most important words in red or orange.
Turn the Page into an Escape Route
Design the poster as a left-to-right route. Begin with “Floodwater Ahead,” continue through “Stop,” “Observe,” “Take Higher Ground,” and “Ask for Help,” and finish at “Safe Place.” Use blue-gray for water, green for the safe route, and red for danger symbols. Keep enough blank space around each section so the steps remain easy to scan.
Check the Poster Before Finishing
- Make sure the title clearly mentions rainstorm floodwater safety.
- Include advice for walking, riding in a vehicle, and avoiding low-lying areas.
- Use pictures to reinforce safe actions rather than showing risky wading as fun.
- Keep each sentence short enough to read from a distance.
After choosing the sections, continue in the Smart Handwritten Newspaper WeChat Mini Program to select a template, arrange the route, and complete the poster.
