Some flood and typhoon prevention experts have put forward typhoon prevention plans for citizens’ reference based on their experience over the years. ?
Pay attention to early warnings before a typhoon comes ?
The flood control department will issue different early warnings in a timely manner based on the proximity and impact of the typhoon.
If it affects this city within 24 hours, a blue or yellow warning will generally be issued.
If it affects this city within 12 hours, an orange warning will be issued.
If it affects this city within 6 hours, a red warning will be issued.
Preparations before typhoon
1. Clean the windowsill. Move the flower pots and sundries placed in the stainless steel frame outside the window or on the balcony indoors, and check whether the awnings and the fixing brackets of the outdoor air conditioner unit are loose. If the balcony is sealed with aluminum alloy windows or plastic steel windows, you must check whether the window frame needs to be reinforced. ?
2. Reserve food. If there are only elderly people at home, and the food market and supermarket are far away from home, you might as well buy more fruits, vegetables, fish and other non-staple foods and store them in the refrigerator for later use. ?
3. Stop riding a bicycle. When a Category 12 typhoon blows, the wind force on the entire human body is about 100 kilograms. Even with level 8 winds, the impact on the human body is also great. If you are riding a bicycle, moped or motorcycle, the impact may be greater and the front of the vehicle may drift out of control. If a typhoon is likely to hit before get off work ends that day, don't ride your bike while at work. ?
Avoid going out when a typhoon hits ?
Citizens should try to end outdoor activities before the typhoon hits. If you are doing outdoor or outdoor activities when the typhoon hits, you must be very careful. ?
1. Avoid smashing while walking. When walking, bend down and walk slowly, and try to grab nearby railings and other fixed objects as much as possible. If the wind is extremely strong when crossing the bridge, you must crawl down. On roads with dense surrounding buildings, flower pots, glass, and billboards may suddenly fall at this time. Pay special attention to high places when walking. ?
2. Slow down when driving. When a typhoon strikes, the wind and rain tend to be heavy and light at times. If the wind and rain become lighter for a while, drivers should keep driving at a low speed and watch the road clearly. Because if strong winds suddenly blow at this time, pedestrians may be blown in front of the car involuntarily. Before crossing an underpass overpass, slow down first and check to see if there is any water under the bridge that may cause the vehicle to stall. ?
3. Avoid iron towers to avoid storms, but also pay attention to lightning strikes. It is not advisable to go near iron towers, transformers, cranes, metal sheds, iron fences, metal clothes drying racks, and do not go under big trees or railways. Stay near the track. ?
Beware of electric shock after the typhoon passes
Electric shock accidents may often occur when or after a typhoon passes. After the typhoon passes, special attention should be paid to children not to play where power lines have fallen. ?
1. Keep away from floor-to-ceiling wires. No matter whether the wires are torn or not, do not get close, and do not use wet bamboo poles or wet wooden poles to stir the wires. If overhead wires fall to the ground in a residential area, you can first put up warning signs around the area and then call the power hotline to report for repair. ?
2. Turn off the power and check for leaks in the house. Nowadays, many families use power strips to connect microwave ovens, refrigerators, and televisions, and the power strips are often placed on the floor. If citizens who live on the ground floor find water accumulation when they return home after a typhoon, they must first cut off the power supply and then enter the house to clean up the power strips. If you find "electricity" on walls, faucets or other places, report it for repair immediately.
How to ensure food safety when typhoons bring floods and power outages
During power outages or floods after typhoons, people must also evaluate the safety of stored food and drinking water.
1. During a power outage, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain low temperatures.
2. Even if you eat meat, poultry, fish or eggs that have been refrigerated or frozen at a safe temperature, be sure to cook them thoroughly. As for infants, if possible, it is best to eat prepared canned infant formula that does not require the addition of water as a substitute for breast milk.
3. Typhoons, especially those accompanied by surges or floods, can pollute public water sources. You should always listen to local advisories regarding the safety of your drinking water supply.
4. If you do not have bottled water and are not sure whether the tap water is safe, you can follow the following steps to purify the tap water:
(1) If there is a heat source, boil the water and let it boil 1-3 minutes.
(2) If there is no condition to boil water, add 8 drops of newly purchased unscented household bleach solution to each gallon (3.8 liters) of water, stir thoroughly, and let it sit for 30 minutes before drinking. Note: Using bleach will not kill parasites. Of course, you can also buy water purification tablets from your local pharmacy.
5. Be careful not to eat any food that may have been exposed to flood water. Any food that does not have waterproof packaging and may have been exposed to flood water should be discarded.
6. Remember to remove wooden cuttings, plastic products, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers that have been exposed to flood water. As for kitchenware, metal pans, ceramic dishes, and other utensils can be thoroughly washed and sterilized using soap and hot water.
