Super Typhoon "Canhong" is approaching my country's coast. How should citizens take precautions?
The Municipal Water Affairs Bureau and the Municipal Ocean Bureau should pay attention to the typhoon warning that may be issued by the meteorological department, prevent "typhoon weather disease", ensure the safety of gas lines, pay attention to "flying", and prevent pedestrians from pooling water, etc.
What are the levels of typhoons? What is the level of tropical storms that we often hear about? According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, tropical cyclones are divided into six levels based on wind power and speed. The maximum wind force near the bottom center of the super typhoon exceeded level 16! Take a closer look below. Six considerations for personal defense against typhoons
Tape tape on windows to strengthen support
Protection of glass When decorating, in addition to choosing stronger tempered glass or bonded glass, It is important to attach explosion-proof film, etc., or use diagonal cross or "meter"-shaped tape to strengthen support before a typhoon approaches. Regarding the choice of tape, elastic sealing tape is also better than ordinary transparent tape!
Moving balconies, terrace bonsais, tables and chairs indoors
Outdoor balconies, terraces, etc. are easily affected by strong winds. Strengthen the fixation, do not move small bonsai, desks, chairs and other furniture indoors, and do not drop things. If it is a large foodscape that cannot be moved, the branches and leaves should be properly pruned and covered with windproof cannons to reduce the risk of branch breakage.
Be careful of "flying" causing disasters
When a typhoon comes, you must stop dangerous work at high altitudes and in the wild. All open-air group activities and large indoor gatherings are suspended. Don't go out unnecessarily. If you can only go out, you must dress conspicuously, bend down and walk slowly, and try your best to hold on to fixed objects such as railings. When crossing a bridge or walking to a higher place, bend down and walk slowly, and do not ride a bicycle. When outside, pay attention to foreign objects on both sides of the road. Pay attention to dangers such as falling billboards, reversing wires on telephone poles, collapsed roads, and upside-down trees. Be careful of falling objects when walking through high-rise buildings, choose safe areas when taking shelter from rain, and do not avoid strong winds in old residences, construction sites, temporary buildings, scaffolding, telephone poles, trees, billboards, iron towers and other places where casualties are likely to occur. and rainfall.
Pedestrians should be careful when driving to prevent water accumulation
When a typhoon strikes, drive carefully, slow down, do not overtake or change lanes, brake or turn the steering wheel hard to prevent slipping. If you hit the firewall upside down, don't increase your speed. Before getting on the highway, don't forget to check the vehicle's wipers, brakes, various lighting, rotation and other parts, and check the unity of the vehicle on rainy days. The wind and rain on typhoon days are often heavy and light. If the wind and rain lighten at the same time, drivers should walk slowly to avoid sudden strong winds. Pedestrians unknowingly scrape in front of cars, causing accidents. Before passing through an intersection, you should slow down and check to see if there is any water under the bridge that could cause the vehicle to stall. Try to avoid driving on waterlogged roads to prevent spray from splashing onto the electrical appliances on the upper part of the engine, causing it to stall.
Pay attention to preventing typhoon weather diseases
When a typhoon strikes, the atmospheric pressure is low, causing chest pain, dizziness and other physical discomforts, which are called "typhoon weather diseases". When "typhoon weather sickness" occurs, just take a rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and keep a calm mind. Patients with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease can use medications appropriately or go to the hospital immediately. Reduce going out in the living room and it is safest to stay at home
After the typhoon, it is necessary to catch up on epidemic prevention, disease prevention, disinfection, and sterilization work
Citizens should drink disinfected water. Do not use unsterilized water to brush teeth, fruits and spoons, do not eat spoiled food, cook food well, and wash hands before eating. Garbage, human and animal excrement, and animal carcasses must be removed in a timely manner, and flooded housing and public places must be disinfected and sanitized in a timely manner.
