When approving new high-rise buildings, the construction authorities should prohibit the use of exterior wall bricks. 3. Relevant management departments must be aware of precautions when approving units and residents install outdoor air conditioners and metal clothes hangers. 4. Strengthen the publicity of citizens’ civilized awareness and safety knowledge, and prevent the phenomenon of high-rise buildings throwing away waste. 5. During the typhoon season, the urban management department must strengthen the prevention of billboards and other items that may fall, and deal with them as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

Users who live in high-rise buildings should also place and manage the items outside their windows well. At the same time, property management companies are too aware of the prohibition of high-altitude throwing objects in their own communities. They should regularly check the high-rise windows and balconies of each building and provide reminders to users.
