Floods in Nigeria this year caused more than 500 deaths. What should we pay attention to during flood weather?
The issue that needs attention is to pay attention to protecting the hygiene of the home, paying attention to theft prevention at home, and disinfecting the home in time.
When strong convective weather comes, we need to be prepared in advance, that is to say, we must prepare various preventive measures in our lives, especially for most residents, to protect their cars, Electric cars or crops. We can use various protective facilities to protect them in advance, or put these items in a safe place. Another thing to note is that residents must try to avoid going out in strong convective weather. If they must go out, they must take various measures to protect themselves in advance.
In addition, they must predict the road in advance when traveling and must not cause their own safety hazards due to their own negligence. After a flood, it is necessary to promptly clean up flood-soaked houses and furniture. If the weather permits, you can choose to dry the clean furniture in the sun. At the same time, we actively cooperate with relevant epidemic prevention personnel to eliminate and extinguish the epidemic. Flooded public toilets and garbage collection station facilities should be repaired and disinfected in time. If feces is not handled properly, it can easily contaminate water sources and breed flies. For feces disinfection, use 10 parts feces water and 1 part bleaching powder, stir, and pour into the designated location for burial after 2 hours.
If it is the feces of a patient with intestinal infection, it can be mixed with a 5:1 ratio of bleaching powder for 2-4 hours, or an equal amount of quicklime can be added, and then poured into the designated place for burial. When disposing of garbage, combustible materials should be burned as much as possible, or 10,000 mg/L effective chlorine-containing disinfectant should be sprayed for more than 60 minutes, and then buried deeply after disinfection.
Generally speaking, there is strong convective weather every spring or summer. Most of them are short-term heavy rain or strong lightning, and are also accompanied by strong winds. In the case of strong convective weather, lightning protection must be strengthened. For example, instead of standing in an open area, take shelter in a building with lightning rods. If you happen to be outside and there are vehicles around you, you can try hiding in your car. In case of strong convective weather, please stay away from easily broken trees or billboards to prevent casualties.
