The book advises against wearing rain boots or using umbrellas for evacuation, recommending sneakers and using an umbrella as a walking stick to navigate unseen hazards. It also suggests wearing rainwear, long pants, and a helmet, carrying essentials in a backpack, and considering a life jacket if flooding is a risk.
