Hello. The flood has done so much of damage in south that one gets helpless in a situation of Natural Disaster! As there are so many water borne diseases which can be avoided by drinking only boiled water (bring water to a boiling point and then keep boiling for 5-10minutes), let it cool down and then only consume it. Sunlight is a natural source of Sterilization. So, exposure to sunlight for few minutes will help you and clothes to keep them away from any bacterial or fungal growth!
