If you travel to mountainous areas in July-August, you should do your homework in advance and pay attention to the local weather forecast. If there are heavy rains, you can change your schedule.

2. If you encounter heavy rain during outdoor activities, you must take safety measures. During heavy rains, there is a lot of water in low-lying areas. Some shops or places where illegal power connections are made are flooded, making it easy for electricity leakage to occur. When traveling, everyone should try to avoid areas with standing water.

3. Keep medicines to prevent colds and colds handy during outdoor activities, and take medicine as soon as you notice cold symptoms.

4. Because the road is slippery on rainy days, it is easy to fall. It is advisable to walk slowly outside and avoid running fast. Be careful when walking in standing water. Prevent falling into wells, pits or holes.

5. Do not rush through areas with stagnant water without confirmation, especially in stagnant areas where no one passes by, to prevent accidents caused by stagnant water and electricity leakage.

6. Don’t forget to bring rain gear when you go out. If you get wet from heavy rain when you get home, don’t turn on the air conditioner when you are wet. This will cause you to catch a cold.

7. When driving on rainy days, you need to pay special attention to pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles on the road. After these people hold umbrellas and wear raincoats on rainy days, their vision and hearing will be greatly affected, and accidents may occur if they are not careful. Therefore, when encountering pedestrians, you should slow down in advance, honk more times, and patiently avoid them.

8. When driving in the rain at night, the water on the ground will reflect light. Appropriately changing the distance and near lights will help to timely detect obstacles ahead.

9. When setting up camp, choose a flat place upstream of the river. Do not stick to the river, downstream or on the hillside, because after rain, the water level will surge and it will be dangerous.

10. If there is heavy rain when setting off, the activity will be cancelled.

11. If there is no shelter from the rain in the mountains and you are almost approaching the camp, you should walk back to the camp to set up camp.

12. If it rains heavily while traveling and you are still far away from the camp, you can set up a tent to hide from the rain and wait until the rain subsides before traveling.

13. If you encounter a heavy rain while traveling in a mountainous area, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible. When going down the mountain, try to avoid areas where the mountain is prone to sliding. Never take shelter in a ditch to avoid being hit by flash floods or mudslides. and cause personal injury.

14. In order to prevent flash floods, the team took protective measures: first fix the road rope on the rocks or trees on both sides of the river, make a flat belt into a simple safety belt and tie it to the body, and then use the quick-hook handle The body and main rope are pulled together.

Take shelter in a place with dense woods. The rolling gravel will slow down when it encounters trees, so the damage will be reduced. It is much safer than a barren place.

20. To prevent injuries from stones, we must protect our heads as soon as possible. We can wrap our heads with the clothes around us.

21. When a typhoon approaches, be sure not to run to higher places, because the higher you go, the stronger the wind will be, and the less vegetation will help block the wind.

22. Soon after a strong typhoon passes, be sure to stay still in the house or original hiding place. The calm lasts less than an hour, and the wind will sweep over again with thunderous force from the opposite direction. If you are taking shelter outdoors, you must move to the opposite side of the original shelter at this time.

Floods are prone to occur during the plum rainy season from mid-June to mid-July and the typhoon season from mid-July to September, causing farmland to be flooded, villages to be washed away, houses to collapse, property to be damaged, and even casualties to occur.

Prepare enough ready-to-eat food or food that can be cooked for several days, and prepare enough drinking water and daily necessities. Make wooden rafts and bamboo rafts, collect wooden basins, wood, large foam plastics and other materials suitable for floating, and process them into life-saving devices in case of emergency. Valuables that are inconvenient to carry can be tied up waterproofly and buried underground or placed in high places. Small valuables such as tickets and jewelry can be sewn into clothes and carried with you. Save functional communication equipment.

Self-rescue when floods come

1. When floods come, people who are too late to move should quickly move to the nearest hillsides, highlands, buildings, and flood shelters. Move to other places, or immediately climb to rooftops, high-rise buildings, big trees, high walls, etc. to take shelter temporarily.

2. If the flood continues to rise and it is difficult to protect yourself in the temporary shelter, you should make full use of the prepared life-saving equipment to escape, or quickly find some door panels, tables and chairs, wooden beds, and large pieces of foam.

6. After the flood, various health and epidemic prevention work must be done to prevent the spread of epidemics.

What is a flash flood?

Flash floods are most commonly caused by heavy rains. They usually refer to swollen and sudden floods formed along rivers and gullies in mountainous areas and the accompanying landslides, collapses, mudslide. The failure of flood control facilities can also cause flash floods. Flash flood disaster refers to the harm caused to people by flash floods, including casualties, property losses, infrastructure damage, and environmental resource damage. Flash flood disasters are divided into debris flow disasters, landslide disasters and stream flood disasters.

How to escape quickly when encountering flash floods

Residents living in flash flood-prone areas or gullies, canyons, and stream banks must remain highly vigilant whenever they encounter continuous heavy rains. Especially at night, if there is any abnormality, personnel should be immediately organized to leave the scene quickly, choose a safe place to stay nearby, and try to contact the outside world to carry out the next step of rescue work.

4. If you are trapped in the mountains by a flash flood, you should contact the local government flood control department in time to seek rescue.

Information related to debris flow

What is a debris flow?

Debris flow is a flow of sediment, rocks, debris, etc. caused by heavy rain, melting ice and snow in mountainous valleys or slopes. A special torrent of boulders. Debris flows are often accompanied by flash floods and are fierce. In a short period of time, a large amount of debris rushes out of the ditch and accumulates at the mouth of the ditch.

Debris flows are very destructive, washing away roads, blocking rivers, and even burying villages and towns, causing great harm to life, property and economic construction. In 1970, a glacial debris flow occurred in the Andes Mountains of Peru, South America, and more than 30 million cubic meters of ice, snow, and debris rushed into the city of Roncai. In an instant, the entire city was completely destroyed, and all 30,000 residents were killed.

When building a new house in an area prone to mudslides, remember to choose a safe area. Local residents should always pay attention to disaster warning forecasts and choose escape routes to avoid being caught off guard.

How to avoid danger when encountering mudslides

1. When staying or moving in a ravine, if you encounter heavy rain or heavy rain, you must quickly move to a safe high ground and do not stay at the bottom of a low-lying valley or Take shelter and stay at the foot of the steep hillside.

2. Pay attention to the surrounding environment, and be especially alert to abnormal sounds such as landslides and flood roars from far away. This is likely to be a sign of an impending mudslide.

3. After discovering a debris flow, immediately climb up the slopes on both sides in a direction perpendicular to the debris flow. The higher you climb, the better, and the faster you run, the better. You must not go downstream of the debris flow.

4. After the heavy rain stops, do not rush back to your residence in the ditch. You should wait for a while.

Note: When camping in the wild, choose a flat highland as your camp site, and try to avoid the bottom of hillsides or valleys or ditches where there are rolling stones and large amounts of accumulation.
