Recently, the blizzard has been raging, and the roads are either closed or difficult to travel, blocking many people returning home. Looking at the people who didn't eat or drink, and couldn't walk an inch, everyone felt uncomfortable.
In recent years, extreme weather on the mainland has occurred more frequently, affected a wide area, and increased in intensity, setting a record and increasing the number of unforeseen emergencies. For example, the frequency of events such as regional extreme heavy precipitation, large-scale extreme high temperature and heat waves, persistent extreme droughts, and high-impact extreme cold waves has increased, which has triggered a lot of discussions, and many netizens feel that "the climate is abnormal".
In 2023, do you remember the disasters caused by extreme weather that we encountered?
Last year, we experienced a continuous drought from winter to spring in southwest China; disasters caused by a major avalanche in Nyingchi in Tibet; continuous rainy weather in Henan adversely affected the summer harvest; super-powerful typhoon "Dusuri" caused a catastrophic flood in the Haihe River valley and serious torrential rain and floods in the Songliao River valley; low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters occurred in Shanxi and other places; and severe rainstorms and floods in northern and northeastern China.
The floods in Zhuozhou have displaced many people, and now the blizzard in Hubei has blocked people in the road.
Every disaster, in addition to property damage, also poses a great challenge to people's survival. Heavy rains and floods can lead to water contamination, disruption of water supplies, and the destruction of farmland, affecting crop growth and leading to food shortages.
Prolonged droughts can dry up water sources, affecting crop growth and harvests, and leading to shortages of food and drinking water. Strong winds can damage farmland and infrastructure, cause damage to crops, and cause power outages and water supply disruptions, affecting the preparation and storage of food and drinking water.
Blizzards and cold spells like this one can cause road closures and traffic disruptions, affecting the transportation of food and drinking water. Low temperatures can also cause water pipes to freeze, affecting the water supply.
So many incidents have inspired people to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and not to wait until something happens to realize that they are not prepared. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare some emergency measures and food in advance to deal with disasters that do not know when they will come.
In the face of extreme weather, here are some tips for preparing for emergencies in advance.
Pay close attention to weather forecasts and warnings issued by local meteorological departments and relevant agencies to understand the possible impact and warning information of extreme weather. Develop an emergency plan for your home or organization, including emergency contacts, shelters, emergency supplies lists, and more. Make sure everyone knows what the contingency plan is and what to do.
In particular, stock up on enough food and water ahead of time to cover at least a few days' needs. This includes non-perishable food, bottled water, emergency medical supplies, flashlights, power banks, blankets and warm clothing. Before and during extreme weather, follow the instructions of local authorities and professionals and follow their advice and requirements.
At present, some car owners are trapped on the highway, I don't know when it will be opened to traffic, there is not enough food and water on the car, adults can still carry it for a while, what about the elderly and children, some of the lots are relatively close to the village, and there are food and water sent by enthusiastic villagers, and there is no place to spend money without a store in front of the village.
It's better to rely on yourself than to ask for others, and now start to prepare some emergency supplies for your home or car, which is of great use at critical moments.
In addition to the regular emergency food, the Astronaut Energy Meal can also be an option, the Astronaut Energy Breakfast is prepared for astronauts on missions in space, but can also cope with extreme situations on Earth.
It's small and easy to carry, doesn't take up space, and can provide more space for other things to store. It is very safe and adopts the highest food standard at present - astronaut food requirements. The rich high energy and high nutrition can meet the energy needs of astronauts in space, let alone ordinary people. And it is easy to eat, tear it open and eat, and does not need to be heated.
Emergency preparedness is a comprehensive process that requires advance planning and ongoing attention. Develop an emergency plan tailored to your own situation based on the local climate and potential risks to improve your ability and safety to deal with extreme weather.
