English term or phrase: Is your family safe during a flood?
Dear Colleagues,

We are helping a local charity to raise flood awareness within the community and need this sentence translated into Mandarin Chinese to create a poster.

Please help us with this action. We need the graphical not phonetical writing

Many thanks.
