What should we pay attention to when encountering typhoon weather?

Main measures to prevent typhoon disasters

1. Prepare for rainy days. Build a “safety net” at home. Residents living in buildings should check whether the doors and windows are secure before the arrival of a typhoon, close the windows in time, remove hanging objects, and put away things on the balcony, especially heavy objects such as flowerpots. Reinforce outdoor areas that are easy to be blown object. In addition, pay attention to typhoon news released by the media and take preventive measures. Check whether electrical circuits, gas and other facilities are safe. Before a typhoon approaches, you should prepare flashlights, radios, food, drinking water and common medicines in case of emergency. If there are patients at home, you should also prepare necessary medicines, such as commonly used antibacterial drugs, cold medicines and commonly used medicines for skin diseases, eye diseases and surgery. Especially if there are patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease at home, corresponding medicines should be prepared.

2. Actively avoid risks. When a typhoon comes, most citizens will stay quietly at home. For some people who stay at work or go out on business for various reasons, they must pay more attention to safety during typhoon days. Many accidents happen in an instant, so our second tip is specifically for those who go out during typhoons.

3. Don’t stay in dangerous areas. When a typhoon strikes, do not stay near glass doors and windows, dilapidated shacks, temporary work sheds, or under high-altitude buildings such as billboards and neon lights. Cases of being injured during typhoons occur every year. In addition, try to avoid walking on embankments and bridges near rivers, lakes, and seas to avoid being blown down by the wind or falling into the water.

3. Retreat in time to ensure safety. Before a typhoon comes, some residents living in low-lying areas will move. In addition to taking good care of the valuables at home when moving, you should also bring daily necessities with you. It is necessary to prepare more clothes and dry food to avoid running out of supplies and returning home again, which may cause danger. If the terrain of your home is low, you should raise cabinets, beds and other furniture before moving, and place rice, vegetables, etc. high.

4. Epidemic prevention and disaster relief. After the typhoon passes, it does not mean that the danger is completely eliminated. At this time, many people are careless and endanger themselves, especially in areas prone to geological disasters. In addition, food safety after disasters cannot be ignored. The third safety tip is to remind citizens to pay attention to post-disaster safety.

5. Don’t go to geological disaster spots. When typhoons pass through, they often bring heavy rains. Heavy rains can easily trigger geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides, causing casualties. If your family lives in an area prone to geological disasters or has experienced heavy rainstorms, you should pay more attention. When going out after a disaster, especially in mountainous areas, you must know the road conditions in advance. If you encounter a bridge that has been broken by a surge in water in a valley, or is impassable due to a landslide, you must wait until the danger is resolved before proceeding. Do not rush into the mountains. .

6. Do not return home without permission. When the typhoon signal is lifted, the evacuation area must be declared safe before returning. After returning home, if you find that your home has been damaged to varying degrees, don't panic, and don't use gas, tap water, wires, etc. at will, and be ready to call the relevant departments for help when danger occurs.

7. Post-disaster disinfection is very important. After the typhoon, epidemic prevention, disease prevention, disinfection and sterilization work must be kept up in time. Citizens must drink sterilized water, do not use unsterilized water to rinse their mouths, wash fruits and dishes, and do not eat raw or spoiled food. Food should be cooked thoroughly, and hands should be washed before meals and after using the toilet. Garbage, human and animal feces and animal carcasses should be removed in a timely manner, and flooded houses and public places should be disinfected and sanitized in a timely manner.

Disasters caused by typhoons

1. Heavy rain disasters.

Typhoon storms are fierce, intense, wide-ranging and long-lasting, and can easily cause waterlogging. Short-term, high-intensity precipitation can cause serious geological disasters, flooding of rivers and lakes, collapse of reservoirs, washed-out roads, interruption of traffic, interruption of water and electricity supply, damage to factories and residences, and casualties. Typhoon rains and the resulting landslides and mudslides are one of the main reasons why typhoons cause many deaths.

2. Storm disaster

Typhoons bring violent winds that are not only fierce but also last for a long time, causing great destructive power. Typhoon strong winds and the waves caused by it can throw a 10,000-ton ship into the air, break it at the waist, or push the ship inland; on land, a typhoon can uproot trees and knock down houses, causing catastrophic disasters.

3. Storm surge disaster

If a typhoon hits two astronomical tides at the beginning or middle of the lunar calendar, it will cause a storm surge disaster that is more serious than heavy rain and strong winds. It can cause flooding Islands, dikes washed away, and inland flooding can cause hundreds of thousands of people to be wiped out in an instant.

First aid measures for electric shock in typhoon prevention

First, try not to go out. When you must go out, be careful to stay away from power lines and pay attention to the situation above the human body.

Second, do not wade barefoot in water. Water accumulation on the road can easily cause broken power lines and underground power lines to send electricity into the water.

Third, electrical equipment and sockets on the ground must be disconnected from the power supply in advance. Make sure the power supply is disconnected before repairing or cleaning flooded electrical equipment.

Fourth, the metal shell of electrical equipment (especially machine tools) must be well grounded and protected.

Fifth, do not covet temporary convenience and connect the power cord of your own unit without permission.

Sixth, do not use damaged plugs just to save money.

Seventh, when an electric shock accident is discovered, do not pull the person who got the electric shock with your hands. Use dry insulating objects to remove the power source or the person who got the electric shock. In addition, you should always have electric test pens and insulating pliers at home. When checking or repairing household appliances, you must first test the electricity. . . . . . . . .
