Solution

After a flood or cyclone, there is always a chance of outbreak of waterborne diseases like cholera, jaundice, dysentery and diarrhea.
So, I will help the victims by using and providing the following measures:
(i) The affected population should be vaccinated against cholera and jaundice.
(ii) To prevent dysentery and diarrhoea, fresh food and boiled water should be provided to the people of the affected area.
(iii) Germicides should be sprayed in the area.
