Thunderstorms are frequent in summer, and in the event of thunderstorms, how should we prevent and mitigate disasters?

outdoors

When going out during a thunderstorm, it is best to wear rubber shoes, which can play an insulating role, do not hold metal objects to stay in the thunderstorm, and try not to answer and make mobile phones outdoors.

Do not stay in the rain for a long time in a gazebo or grass shed without lightning protection devices or isolated ones, and pay attention to avoiding power lines; Do not take shelter from the rain under trees, telephone poles, billboards, or towers; Do not stay on the top of a mountain, ridge or building (structure), do not stay near iron gates, iron fences, metal clotheslines, overhead metal bodies and railway tracks; Do not stay near the water, swimming pools, or depressions, and quickly go to a nearby dry house to avoid lightning; Do not touch or approach lightning protection down conductors, water pipes, grounding wires of household appliances, trunks of large trees and other objects that may be charged by lightning strikes, so as to prevent contact with voltage or contact with lightning strikes and side lightning strikes.

indoor

First of all, it is necessary to close the doors and windows to prevent lightning from hitting the room directly and spherical lightning from drifting into the room, to keep the house dry, and to repair the house in time when the house leaks.

Try not to make or receive phone calls, or use the telephone to access the Internet, and try to unplug the power supply of household appliances, telephone lines and TV feeders and other metal wires that may introduce lightning into the room; Try to stay away from the metal water pipes and sewer pipes connected to the roof, etc., and try not to use showers, although the metal water pipes of new residential buildings are generally equipotential connected to the lightning protection grounding, but the lightning current may still cause casualties through the water flow.

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of fires during thunderstorms.

Most people will feel that dry weather is the only way to pay attention to fire prevention. In rainy weather, there is a lot of moisture in the air, and there will be no fire, but this is actually a wrong concept. Because rain only increases the humidity of the air, but it does not reduce the occurrence of fires.

Case 1

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation|@所有人 Thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, so you should know about disaster prevention and mitigation!

In the early morning of April 4, 2023, a resident in Kaifeng, Henan Province was charging with a "flying wire", and the rain at night caused a short circuit in the power strip and caught fire, burning his electric tricycle and car together.

Case 2

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation|@所有人 Thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, so you should know about disaster prevention and mitigation!

On December 15, 2022, a fire accident occurred in Beigang, Hubei Province, burning three stores in a row! It is understood that the cause of the fire accident was the aging and broken skin of the wire, coupled with the continuous rainy weather caused by the short circuit of the wire and the fire.

Case 3

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation|@所有人 Thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, so you should know about disaster prevention and mitigation!

At 8 o'clock on May 14, 2021, the second floor of a private house near the Tanjiaba Neighborhood Committee in Enshi City, Hubei Province caught fire. After on-site investigation, it was found that there was strong convective weather on that day, and the aging of the line caused the meter to trip, resulting in a fire.

In fact

It rains on garbage, waste and mountain forest fires

There is a certain "preventive" effect

However, if you do not pay attention to the use of fire, electricity and gas in the family

The risk of fire remains

Causes of fires caused by rainy days

NO.1

Due to the humid weather, the electrical wiring connection is not strong, coupled with the "resurgence" of electrical appliances, in the absence of electricity, the current is suddenly turned on, which can easily lead to fire.

NO.2

The high humidity environment caused by heavy rainfall is easy to produce electric fire, and the arc temperature is as high as 6000-7000 degrees Celsius, or even more than 10000 degrees Celsius.

So, how can we prevent fires on rainy days?
