In the coming week, Hubei will usher in the strongest precipitation since May. What precautions should citizens take?
In heavy rainfall, we must pay attention to thunderstorms and find places to take the initiative to hide from the rain. The Hubei Meteorological Observatory said that our province has entered the strongest rainfall process, with large rainfall intensity, wide range and long duration, and great risk of disaster prevention. In the rainy season, we appeal to the masses to pay attention to their property safety. In response to this heavy rainfall, the Hubei Meteorological Observatory has launched a four-level emergency response to major meteorological disasters.
In heavy rainfall, we must pay attention. Don't call, don't answer the phone, and don't go under the big tree to shelter from the rain when there is a thunderstorm and thunder. Because heavy rain may cause the manhole cover to be washed away or the road section to collapse, you must carefully observe the front when walking, and keep a certain distance from the tall building when walking to prevent major accidents.
When it rains, citizens need to go home quickly, don't wander outside, and use electrical appliances at home to avoid causing fires. If you are going out, you must find a place to take shelter from the rain. When the heaviest rainfall comes, citizens should also pay attention not to hang their clothes outdoors when washing clothes. When traveling by car, you must stay away from deep water and vehicles, and choose a place with relatively high terrain to drive safely and slowly. When you bring a raincoat, don't be blocked by it, and don't be influenced by it. When riding a bike, you must carefully observe the surrounding road conditions. After encountering a difficult road section, you must walk with a cart.
Moreover, in low-lying residential areas, it is necessary to build fences or place water shields according to local conditions. In heavy rainfall, if it is a house that has been in disrepair for a long time, don't stay indoors. You must be careful to prevent houses from collapsing and living in mountainous areas to prevent dangerous disasters such as mudslides.
