A mountain torrent in Heihe caused 1 death and 8 people lost contact. What are the countermeasures to deal with mountain torrents?

In the face of mountain torrents, you should quickly move to a higher place.

First of all, if you are located in river valleys, coastal areas and low-lying areas, you should always pay attention to the flood warning information in rainy season, and learn as much as possible about the rain and water surface tide. The first line of defense against mountain torrents is sandbags. You can also put sand and stones in sacks as waterproof walls. Make more waterproof bags to block the gap between doors and windows as soon as possible before the flood may happen. Secondly, we should prepare enough materials to improve the success rate of hedging. Flashlight, bright clothes, whistle, etc. Can be used as a tool to communicate with the outside world. In case of emergency rescue, there may be no signal on the mobile phone. At this time, in order to save energy and attract the attention of rescuers as soon as possible, we must turn to a more conspicuous way. During the flood peak, try to store drinking water and food that can be preserved for a long time, especially in places with inconvenient transportation, and prepare warm clothes and medicines to prevent diseases caused by floods.

Finally, when transferring, remember not to run along the spillway and quickly dodge to both sides. If you run towards the spillway, you are likely to be washed away by the flood. The correct way should be to run fast along both sides. Secondly, don't wade across the river easily. When mountain torrents break out, if you are trapped on one side of the river, don't cross the river rashly at this time, because you don't know the depth of the river and the impact of mountain torrents is very strong at this time, so crossing the river at this time may be submerged.

If you are trapped by mountain torrents, you should contact the local authorities in time or send a distress signal for rescue. If you are trapped in danger at this time, you should immediately call for help and wait for others to come to help. If you are in a diwa area when flash floods break out, violent flash floods may directly trap you in low-lying areas. If there are communication tools and corresponding communication signals at this time, you can call the rescue phone immediately. If there is no signal on your mobile phone, you can also use fireworks to attract others' attention.
