Your car wouldn't survive for three days with a faulty alternator but it could be that too. You should normally wait for the engine to dry up hoping for the lights to go away but since your airbag light has come up too, try resetting ECU. Disconnect negative terminal of your battery for a few minutes, connect back and start up.
