Earthquake, Flood and Storm: How to Keep Your Lift Safe in Extreme Events

Sharp blue glass skyscraper edge rising against a clear sky

Bengaluru faces heavy rain, waterlogging and occasional tremors. Extreme events can affect lifts in different ways. This is general guidance; follow your installer's instructions and local authority advice.

Earthquakes

Some lifts have seismic sensors that stop the lift at the nearest floor and open the doors. After any tremor, the lift should be checked by a technician before returning to service.

Floods and heavy rain

  • Water collects in the pit first.
  • Switch off and do not use a lift if water has entered.
  • Call your service company for inspection.

Read lift care during monsoon.

Storms and power cuts

Voltage swings and outages can trap passengers. Plan backup power or a rescue device. See power backup and ARD.

After an event

  1. Take the lift out of service.
  2. Have a technician inspect it.
  3. Return to service only after clearance.
