Guard against heavy snow.
Snow can bring us happiness, but too much snow will bring us trouble. Heavy snow fell in many places in Japan, with the thickness of snowfall reaching one meter, which seriously affected the traffic.
It is reported that this snowstorm has caused many deaths, most of them are elderly people. Because of the heavy snow, many elderly people living alone can't clear the snow. The local self-defense forces are organized to help the elderly clear the snow.
Due to the thick snow, traffic in some areas is now paralyzed. Blizzard has brought a lot of inconvenience to our life, especially for travel. In snowy weather, everyone should pay attention to the following points.
First of all, keep warm when going out. Pay attention to keep warm when going out or working outdoors in snowy days. Especially in hands, ears, body joints and other places, the elderly should pay attention to non-slip and try to wear non-slip shoes.
Winter is a torment for some patients with old cold legs, so you should pay attention to keep warm when traveling, and you can add protective measures at your knees, such as knee pads or warm pants.
In winter, the elderly also need to keep their stomachs warm. Cold weather like stomach disease or cardiovascular disease will aggravate their condition. Try to protect yourself at ordinary times, try to stay in the local environment, and don't go up and down.
Then, vehicles should pay attention to slow down when traveling. After the roads are cleared in heavy snow, we should also pay attention to controlling the speed, keeping a distance from the vehicles in front, and trying to keep driving at a constant speed.
If the vehicle speed is too fast and the road surface is too slippery to brake in time, rollover will occur. Therefore, both old drivers and novices should slow down in winter.
And pay attention to safety when traveling at night in heavy snowstorm weather. Because visibility is low at night, don't drink too much when you go out, and don't go out in cold winter to prevent frostbite.
Some time ago, a person was invited to a party by his company, but when he came back, he drank too much and fell in front of his house. It was not until his family went out the next day that he found out. His limbs were frozen stiff, and the danger of amputation awaited him.
Finally, measures should be taken to prevent diseases in winter. Many infectious diseases are high in winter, and many diseases are very toxic. Old people and children should pay attention to protective measures and wash their hands frequently when they go home.
Wear a mask when you go out, don't go to parties, and don't go to crowded places. Eat more fruits and vegetables and keep a balanced nutrition. You can appropriately increase your calorie intake in winter, such as mutton or beef.
Many people in Japan said that they were trapped in the snow for the first time and felt helpless.
