How should Hubei people save themselves from the rainstorm in Yichang, Hubei?

In recent years, China has entered the flood season, and all parts of the country are facing heavy rainfall. The Central Meteorological Observatory has issued an orange rainstorm warning signal for 28 consecutive days, which is very rare in recent years. The rainfall in the south is the most obvious. The torrential rain in Mianning, Sichuan Province has caused 12 deaths and 10 missing. At the same time, Yichang, Hubei Province also ushered in heavy rain. In the face of heavy rain, how did these Hubei people who struggled with natural disasters save themselves? Even if there is no rainstorm in our area, we should learn some ways to save ourselves in the rainstorm from the people of Hubei.

If you encounter heavy rain indoors, you should first put a water baffle or sandbag at the door to reduce the inflow of rainwater into the house. Secondly, if people live in bungalows, they should check whether the roof leaks before the rainstorm season comes. In addition, we should also check the circulation of sewers near our home to ensure that the sewers are unobstructed, which is conducive to the temporary discharge of heavy rain. We also avoid accumulating sundries near the sewers and blocking the discharge of heavy rain. If water is found in the room during heavy rain, be sure to cut off all power supplies in the room first to avoid fire or damage to household appliances. If there is still rain in the house, you should stand in a higher place in the house, such as the kitchen stove and coffee table, and actively cooperate with the disaster relief personnel.

If we go out and encounter a rainstorm, if we are in the street and suddenly a rainstorm strikes, we must never take an umbrella or use a mobile phone. We should quickly find a place to shelter from the rain. We can't shelter from the rain under trees, but also try to stay away from metal and charged objects such as telephone poles, cables and signal lights. Avoid tall buildings and things that are easy to hit people when sheltering from the rain.

If we are caught in a rainstorm in the car, if the car stalls in the rain, we must leave at once. If you don't turn off the engine and drive in a rainstorm, don't drive blindly to avoid driving to a place with rapids.

I hope these methods to save yourself from the rainstorm can help you to some extent.
