1. What is heavy rainfall?
Heavy rainfall refers to the rain with great precipitation intensity, which is generally called "heavy rain" or "heavy precipitation" in meteorology, which has the characteristics of heavy rainfall, obvious extremity, and high risk of disaster, and is prone to flood disasters, landslides and debris flows in some areas.
Second, it is easy to appear in dangerous places
Underground shopping malls, underground passages, garages, construction sites, dilapidated houses, culverts, concave overpasses, etc.
3. Main measures to prevent heavy rainfall
1. Try not to go out during heavy rainfall, and when you must go out, you should try to bypass the area with serious water accumulation, pay attention to observation, walk close to the building, and prevent falling into manholes, pits, etc.
2. When you are outdoors and cannot find a safe place to shelter from the rain in time, you should stay away from trees and masts, do not stand on the top of mountains, buildings or other objects with high conductivity, do not handle flammable materials contained in open containers, and do not carry badminton rackets, fishing rods, bamboo rods, etc. on your shoulders when lightning strikes.
3. To prevent small waterlogging in residential housing, water retaining plates, sandbags or soil ridges can be placed at the door of the house according to local conditions, and people living in dilapidated houses or low-lying terrain houses should be moved to a safe place in a timely manner.
4. Turn off the gas valve and power switch. When outdoor water overflows into the room, the power supply should be cut off immediately to prevent the water from being electrified and injuring people.
5. Heavy rainfall is often accompanied by strong winds, please move flower pots and other falling items outside the window into the room to avoid falling objects from high altitudes, resulting in injuries.
6. Extra care should be taken when charging electric vehicles in rainy days to avoid short circuits caused by water and moisture in electrical circuits and fires. Do not charge for a long time, and keep away from combustibles when charging.
7. When the driver encounters too deep water on the road or under the overpass, he should try to detour and avoid forced passing. If the car is turned off in a low-lying place, do not wait in the car, and get out of the car to a high place to wait for rescue.
8. Thunderstorms are prone to mudslides and landslides, and special attention should be paid to not taking shelter near the construction site on rainy days to prevent the construction site from collapsing due to heavy rain, resulting in casualties. If you can't find a suitable parking place while driving, the driver should try to avoid the slopes, mountain roads and other places close to the mountain, because the ground is loose due to the impact of heavy rain, and the mountain is prone to mudslides. When traveling in mountainous areas, pay attention to preventing flash floods, and pay special attention when the upstream water is suddenly turbid and the water level rises rapidly.
