The roof of a university dormitory in Zhengzhou was blown away by strong winds. How bad is the local weather?
On June 5, 2021, Zhengzhou was hit by severe weather, and strong winds suddenly occurred in many areas, causing the roof of the mobile women's dormitory of Zhengzhou Electronic Information Vocational and Technical College to be overturned and blown away. The students panicked instantly, and various supplies inside the dormitory were scattered all over the place by the strong wind. The school immediately arranged for relevant staff to repair it and check whether there were other hidden dangers. According to a local reporter’s interview with the principal of the school, it turns out that Zhengzhou Electronic Information Vocational and Technical College has been expanding its enrollment in recent years, resulting in insufficient dormitories. Therefore, a few years ago the school adopted a simple house building model and built some prefabricated houses. The roofs of these prefab houses are made of iron sheets. Unexpectedly, they encountered extreme weather, and strong winds accurately blew away the roofs of the prefab houses. Fortunately, there were no casualties in this accident. After seeing videos on the Internet of strong winds blowing away roofs, many netizens have been discussing safety issues and believe that schools should pay attention to such issues and should remove these prefabricated houses and build real ones if they have sufficient funds. Houses with high-quality reinforced concrete structures allow these students to study with peace of mind, and are less prone to safety accidents, which is also beneficial to the school. After all, simple prefabricated houses are not suitable for permanent living. In the face of some extreme weather or natural disasters, such prefabricated houses are simply vulnerable. Schools should investigate potential safety hazards as soon as possible to ensure the health and safety of students and provide students with a good accommodation environment. At the same time, netizens are also calling for schools to organize students to protect themselves when encountering extreme weather. Schools should also strengthen the publicity of this knowledge so that students can face various emergencies.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in this accident, but it also serves as a wake-up call for us. Many schools should be student-oriented and try to provide students with a good learning environment. Students are our future, the future of society, and mankind. future?
