Lazimnya, mangsa banjir akan menempatkan harta benda mereka di tempat tinggi bagi mengelakkan rosak dek bencana itu, namun Moh Norddin mempunyai kaedah lain yang lebih kreatif atau mungkin lebih berkesan.

Berbekalkan plastik kanvas biru bersaiz enam kali enam meter, penduduk di Kampung Bukit Tok Bat itu membungkus kesemua perabotnya yang disusun setinggi hampir dua meter sebelum membuat ikatan di bahagian atas.
