Very important.
Seen several dead rodents yesterday along the road.
Beware of leptospirosis.
Also, ensure safe drinking water supplies.
Watch out for snakes (they've been carried with flood water - seen yesterday in am) and protect yourself from mosquito bites.

Volunteers across the country are doing everything they can to support those trapped by the floods — even finding creative ways to deliver food to families who can’t be reached.
Incredible solidarity during the hardest moments. 🇱🇰❤️

The National Blood Bank in Narahenpita has temporarily stopped accepting new donors due to overcrowding. Processing existing donors will continue until at least 10 p.m. The public is advised not to visit the centre today.
The surge follows an urgent appeal yesterday by the National Blood Transfusion Service due to critically low blood stocks amid the ongoing disaster.
#ThankYou🙏🏽🩸

The Narahenpita Blood Bank is completely overwhelmed—not with shortage, but with donors who answered the urgent call within hours. Queues stretching far, hearts pouring in faster than they can collect. In the darkest moments of a national crisis, our people rise with the kind of compassion and unity. So incredibly proud to call this our island home. This is Sri Lanka at its finest. 🙏🩸 #ProudlySriLankan #LankaStrongerTogether ❤️🇱🇰

Here we go. People, be safe.
The roads and bridges are very dangerous.
Electrical wires too - watch where you step.
I could feel the trembling on that bridge yesterday, but could not see cracks as it was pouring rain and wind; I was just trying to walk slowly.
