Treating slip and fall injuries during rain involves several crucial steps. First, assess the situation for any ongoing hazards and call for emergency services if necessary. Provide basic first aid if safe to do so, and stabilize the injured person, keeping them still, especially if there's a suspected neck or spinal injury. Keep the person warm to prevent hypothermia if they are exposed to rain. Offer emotional support, document the incident, and seek medical evaluation, as even seemingly minor injuries may have hidden complications. Prioritize safety and, when in doubt, await trained medical professionals.

Treating fall injuries during rain is similar to treatment of other injuries. Precaution is more important in rainy season to avoid injuries. When one has sustained injury, the management depends on the extent of injury, for simple abrasions, bruises first aid is enough and if necessary, rest is advised. If the injury involves head, spine or when there is swelling of limbs with severe pain, suggestive of fracture, medical attention should be sought.
