Yellow rainstorm warnings for 11 provinces and cities, come and see if you need to take shelter?

Recently, the China Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow rainstorm warning. This warning covers eleven provinces and cities, namely Guangxi, Yunnan, Hainan, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong. . There may be heavy rainfall in these areas, with Hunan, Hubei and Henan experiencing the most severe rainfall, with rainfall reaching more than 100 millimeters or more.

The yellow rainstorm warning is already the second level in the rainstorm warning signal, which means that this heavy rainfall may bring us more serious disasters, the most common ones are mudslides, floods, etc. . For example, in Sichuan, which has been severely affected by disasters recently, mudslides occurred in many sections of the area, such as the Yakang Expressway, Chengdu Interchange, and the Duwen section of the Rongchang Expressway; another example is that Guangzhou suffered a heavy rainstorm in May this year. Heavy rains caused mudslides, killing four people; another example is the recent rare flood in Ya'an, Sichuan. This flood caused a large number of houses, vehicles and road sections to be submerged, and caused countless property losses.

So since heavy rains will cause such serious consequences, what can we ordinary people do? I think preparation can be divided into two stages, the first is the preparation stage before the heavy rain comes, and the second is the preparation during the heavy rain. Let’s talk about the first point first. There are still many things we can do before a heavy rain comes, such as putting away our valuables, paying attention to clearing drainage pipes, and checking whether there are leaks in the house. Next, let’s talk about it. Speaking of the second point, what we have to do when a heavy rain comes is to protect ourselves. First, try to reduce going out; secondly, if you encounter danger while driving, you should get off the car in time and go to a safe place; thirdly, cut off the vehicle according to the situation. power supply.

In short, if you are in the above eleven provinces and cities, you must be more vigilant and well prepared from now on, and you can store some food to reduce the possibility of going out during heavy rains.
