How to deal with severe convective weather?
Severe convective weather is often accompanied by severe weather such as thunder, lightning, strong winds, and short-term heavy precipitation, which brings great inconvenience and safety hazards to our lives. In the face of such weather, we should:
Pay attention to the weather forecast:
Get the latest weather information in a timely manner, understand the intensity of rainfall, wind, etc., and arrange your travel plan reasonably.
Avoid outdoor activities:
During severe convective weather, try to avoid going out, especially not staying in open areas, near tall buildings, under trees, etc.
Pay attention to lightning protection:
In thunderstorms, do not use metal umbrellas, do not use mobile phones in open areas, return indoors as soon as possible, and stay away from metal objects such as doors, windows, and water pipes.
How to deal with urban waterlogging?
Urban waterlogging is one of the common disasters during the flood season, and once encountered, it may bring great trouble to our lives. Here are some tips for preventing urban waterlogging:
Pay attention to water accumulation information:
During the flood season, pay attention to the water accumulation in the area, avoid wading and walking, especially do not blindly cross the waterlogged road section.
Prepare emergency supplies:
Prepare some emergency items at home, such as rain gear, waterproof shoes, backup power, etc., in case you need them.
Learn about escape routes:
Know the drainage system and escape routes in your area in advance so that you can evacuate quickly in case of an emergency.
How to deal with geological disasters caused during the flood season?
Geological disasters that can be triggered during the flood season include flash floods, mudslides and landslides. These disasters may pose a serious threat to people's lives and property, so we should pay special attention not only to meteorological disasters during the flood season, but also to geological disasters that may be caused by them.
Avoid Hazardous Areas:
During the flood season, the river water is prone to swelling, so do not go near the riverside, bridges and holes, etc., to avoid danger. Or choose a bypass route to stay away from flash flood-prone areas such as rivers and mountains.
Timely evacuation and transfer:
When it is felt that the rainfall is too heavy and there is a risk of flooding, it is necessary to move to a high place such as the top of a mountain or high ground in an organized manner. When a flash flood hits a mountainous area, be calm and evacuate as quickly as possible. When leaving the site, you should choose the nearest safe route and run sideways along the hillside, never down the hill or downstream along the valley exit.
Follow the official information:
During the flood season, it is necessary to pay close attention to the information released by the government, understand the disaster early warning, rescue trends, etc., and be well informed.
