Avoid building in a floodplain—an area especially prone to flooding during heavy rains.

If you do live in a floodplain, consider buying flood insurance to help with losses if, and when, a flood occurs.

Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering your home. Sandbags can provide a temporary levee in an emergency.

Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.

Pay attention to weather forecasts. When heavy rain or storms are forecasted, listen to the radio or television for information on flooding risk.

What’s worse—a flood watch or warning? A watch means flooding is possible. A warning means flooding is occurring or will occur soon.

“,”type”:”ul”,”id”:”html7″,”cntnt”:”mrkup”:”When a flood is imminent”,”type”:”h2″,”id”:”html8″,”cntnt”:”mrkup”:”

Have an emergency plan and practice survival skills, like first aid and how to disinfect water.

Be prepared! Assemble an emergency kit in case you need to evacuate. Don’t forget to include necessary prescription medications and a small first aid kit.

Charge cell phone batteries and any reusable batteries for flashlights. Buy extra batteries in case power isn’t restored immediately.

Heed evacuation warnings. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Follow appropriate evacuation signs.

If possible, bring in outdoor furniture and move important items to an upper floor, above possible flood levels.

Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed. Disconnect electrical appliances.

“,”type”:”ul”,”id”:”html9″,”cntnt”:”mrkup”:”During a flood”,”type”:”h2″,”id”:”html10″,”cntnt”:”mrkup”:”

Avoid low spots, like ditches, basements, or underpasses. These become extremely dangerous during a flash flood.

Do not walk through flooded areas. It can be difficult to tell how deep the water is and what lies underneath the water that could hurt you. Even shallow, moving water can make you fall.

If you have to walk in water, wherever possible, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

Do not drive into flooded areas. Remember: “Turn around, don’t drown.” If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground—only if you can do so safely.

Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

Return home only when authorities say it is safe.

Listen for news reports to learn whether the water supply is safe to drink and where emergency shelters are located.

Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gas, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.

Still avoid moving water—the danger decreases only when water levels drop.

Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.

Stay away from downed power lines and report them to the power company.

Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.

Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.

Only pump water out of a flooded building when water has receded outside.

Clean and disinfect everything that was stuck in flooded waters. Mud left from floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals.

Be wary of lingering water inside buildings after a flood. A dehumidifier will help remove excess water and minimize mold damage.

The total distance is 4.00 km and it takes 2.5 hours. The whole island has been characterized as a Site of Community Importance for the birds of Greece according to the directive 79/409/EEC, hosting various rare and endemic species of animals and plants and being of significant archaeological value. Both Karpathos and Saria are the most suitable areas for threatened species of undersea fauna and birdlife to live and develop thanks to their geomorphology. The Rocky caves of the coasts are home to the Mediterranean seal Monachus Monachus. In the coastal rocks, there are nests of Eleonora’s falcon and Audouin’s Gull. Saria also hosts an important part of rare predators such as Bonelli’s eagle, the long-legged buzzard (Buteo rufinus) and Eleonora’s falcon. The protected area is also of great archaeological interest. In the ancient towns of Vroukounda and Nisyros, there are tens of underground graves, ruins of walls and forts, part of the Hellenistic walls, but there are also Byzantine monuments, as those towns were inhabited until the 7th century AD. Evangelia is running Ecotourism Karpathos. Evangelia – Marina is a native of Karpathos. She has studied Geography at the University of the Aegean (2006-2010) and then completed a master’s courses on the “Environment and Development” at the National Technical University of Athens (2010-2012) and “Travel and Tourism” (2016-2017). After finishing her studies, taking into consideration the tough financial situation in Greece, she has been faced with the dilemma of moving abroad. Her enormous love for Karpathos prevailed and so she has got the big decision to live permanently on the island. She has decided to start programmes of ecotourism with the aim to transfer the love and respect she feels for her place to the visitors, but also to create the experiences which will help them be integrated into the local community as equal members. Avlona is part of a few important eco trails in Karpathos. Ony few people live in Avlona now but it used to be important town year ago for farming since it has a very unique location. The agricultural village of Avlona is one of the most northern villages of Karpathos, on the western slope of a bare mountain. At first sight Avlona looks like a deserted settlement from the western movies, but the village is located in a fertile valley. In the spring there is lush vegetation here, only during hot summer months dries out the vegetation and some neglected gardens here. In the area of Avlona there are more than 250 farmhouses, and the locals primarily produces here wheat and barley. In the old times those grains were taken to the windmills of Olymbos where were milled into flour. Avlona is currently the northernmost village in Karpathos that is accessible by automobile, and is accessible only via Olympos or Diafani. At the end of the Avlona road, there are hiking trails which lead to the ancient coastal settlement of Vrykountas, as well as the next village to the north, Tristomo (which is currently only accessible either by foot via Avlona or Diafani, or by boat via Diafani).”,”ext”:”jpg”,”ratio”:”3×2″,”isFeatured”:true,”sections”:[“name”:”Travel”,”id”:”432c4f83-2d55-3974-b95f-a221c87c0fd1″,”type”:”sources”,”uri”:”https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel”,”name”:”Best of the World”,”id”:”f0112538-c9b6-3962-9abd-82e01db87c42″,”type”:”series”,”uri”:”https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/topic/best-of-the-world-hub”],”headline”:”25 breathtaking places and experiences for 2023″,”link”:”https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/best-of-the-world-2023″,”description”:”Tales of the undead and other frights are found throughout history.
