How to deal with meteorological disasters

All kinds of natural disasters may bring great threats and harms to human survival and development. Such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides and other geological disasters, lightning, floods, strong winds, snow and ice weather, sandstorms and other meteorological disasters. In the face of these disasters, although we can't completely eliminate the harm they bring at present, everything is regular. Although we can't change the law, we can master the law, effectively prevent and avoid natural disasters, and minimize the losses caused by disasters. Everyone should learn how to deal with natural disasters and get out of danger in time for precious lives.

Respond to lightning disasters. Protection principle: try to lower the position of human body to reduce the danger of direct lightning strike; Keep your feet as close as possible, and the less contact with the ground, the better, to reduce the "step voltage". Outside, you should quickly stay away from isolated tall objects, such as hilltops, trees, telephone poles, chimneys, billboards, etc. If there are buildings protected by lightning protection facilities around, go in immediately. Cars are an ideal place to avoid lightning strikes. If you really can't find a suitable lightning protection place, then find a low-lying place to squat down, put your feet together, put your hands on your knees, lean forward, don't take shelter from the rain under caves, rocks and cliffs, and shoot them down by lightning protection. Indoor, close the doors and windows, stay away from doors and windows, balconies and external walls, do not touch any metal pipes, and try not to use household appliances or mobile phones.

Respond to the flood disaster. In flood-prone areas, during continuous rainstorm, attention should be paid to the local flood warning and water level changes, timely listen to the weather forecast, and choose a good route to evacuate if necessary. When threatened by flood, when there is enough time, it should be moved to high mountains, high slopes and other places. When time is tight, you should immediately climb high houses, trees and high walls and wait for rescuers to rescue you. When the high-voltage tower is found to be toppled, the wires are drooping or broken, keep away from these dangerous things, and do not touch or approach them to prevent electric shock. In order to prevent "step voltage", one foot or both feet should jump and move at the same time until they jump out of the dangerous area (8 meters away from the power grounding point).

Respond to sandstorms. Close the doors and windows indoors and try not to go outdoors. When the sandstorm is serious, you can seal the doors and windows with tape or spray it indoors to reduce dust. Drink more water. Sandstorm weather, the climate is drier than usual, and particles are easy to enter the human body. Drink plenty of water to strengthen metabolism. Wash your skin more to prevent acne and allergies caused by sandstorms. Once you find chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness and paroxysmal wheezing, you should seek medical advice in time. Don't rub the dust with your hands when you are confused, it will bring in a lot of dust and bacteria. Blink your eyes and the dust will come out by itself. If tears can't wash out foreign bodies, please seek medical advice in time.

Deal with the snowy weather. Listen to the weather forecast in time, prepare for the snow and ice weather, and strengthen the doors and windows to keep warm for houses with poor cold resistance. Keep the communication open and contact in time if you have any questions. Try not to ride a bike when going to work or school in ice and snow. You can walk or take the bus to avoid slipping or traffic accidents. Prevention of digestive tract ulcer or bleeding, cold is the induced cause of gastric ulcer, so we should pay attention to keep warm. It is also necessary to prevent respiratory diseases, increase clothing and quilts in time according to weather changes, and pay attention to indoor ventilation. It is also necessary to reserve food to avoid the lack of food supply caused by the arrival of heavy snow and the inability to travel.

Respond to windy weather. Generally, when the wind force reaches 8 or above and the wind speed is greater than 17m/s, it is called gale. Strong winds are powerful and can destroy trees, houses and buildings, causing casualties or property losses. When we are told a generous warning, we should take precautions first. If we have encountered a strong wind, we should learn the following. For pedestrians, don't walk beside billboards, old trees, river banks and dangerous houses. For drivers, it is necessary to put more heavy objects on the car and slow down to avoid the car being overturned by the strong wind during driving. Strong winds may cause water cuts, power cuts and traffic disruptions. As a precaution, every family can properly store some rice, vegetables, drinking water and candles.
