How to prevent falling ice

Abstract: As the weather clears, the temperature rises, the ice and snow begin to melt, and some residual ice and snow accumulated on the eaves and roofs gradually melt and form ice slides, which often fall off the whole roof. Passers-by may be hit vertically by these "air killers" if they are not careful. In addition, rivers, pits and scenic waterways are prone to falling ice and drowning accidents when playing and walking on the ice, so it is necessary to be alert to the danger of falling ice. Let's learn about ice falling in winter. First, how to prevent falling ice

1. Widely publicize

Villages (communities) should strengthen publicity to remind residents to be vigilant and pay attention to falling ice to ensure personal and property safety.

2. Patrol inspection

Villages (communities) and departments and units should inspect the office buildings, public places, trees, telephone poles and other risk parts within their responsibilities, and take various ways to remove ice and snow.

3. Preventive measures

Residents should carefully observe the melting of snow and ice in front of and behind their houses and take measures to actively remove hidden dangers. Try to avoid eaves and tall buildings when traveling to prevent the danger of falling ice. Don't put important items in places that are easy to fall into ice to ensure the safety of property.

2. Precautions against falling ice in winter

1. It is strictly forbidden to skate on the frozen water surface in the wild without permission.

2. It is forbidden to play and bathe in dangerous places such as rivers, reservoirs, ponds and wells.

Third, rescue measures for falling ice in winter

1. First, immediately call for help, so that more people can participate in first aid, and at the same time dial 12, so that professional first aid personnel can arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

2. Provide floating objects and pulling objects, such as boards, ropes, branches, etc., when the drowning person is still awake. Those who can't swim should never go into the water to save people. Even if they can swim, don't go into the water blindly.

3. For the drowning person who is still struggling, the rescuer should tell him to keep calm and avoid being hugged by him, usually by approaching from the back. First, lift the drowning person's head out of the water and make him breathe air as soon as possible.

4. Self-help guide for falling ice

1. Don't panic, and immediately grab the unbroken ice. Call for help loudly, and at the same time, like riding a bicycle, step on water to help float, make your body float as far as possible, and keep your head out of the water.

2. Don't beat about, as this will increase the degree of ice rupture, observe calmly, and look for places with thick ice and small cracks to escape.

3. Try to keep your body close to the edge of the thick ice, put your hands on the ice, kick water with your feet, make your body float, and put your whole body in a supine position, then spread your arms forward to increase the area where your whole body contacts the ice, and crawl a little bit to keep your body away from the ice cave.

4. Don't stand immediately when you leave the ice cave. Lie on the ice, crawl to the shore by rolling, and then stand up to prevent the ice from breaking again.

5. In case of emergency, if you see someone falling into the water, you should extend a wooden stick and rope to the drowning person, and you should lie prone on the ice to rescue yourself, so as to prevent the ice from breaking when rescuing others and making yourself fall into the water. If you find someone falling into an ice cave, don't rush to save people, but shout for help from adults.
