There is a tragedy in Chengkou landslide in Chongqing, so how to deal with it?

According to the information of China Emergency Information Network, landslide is one of the common geological disasters, which refers to the action and phenomenon that a certain part of rock and soil on the mountain slope moves downward along a weak structural plane (belt) under the action of gravity, commonly known as "walking", "collapse", "ground slip" and "soil slip". Earthquakes, rainfall, snowmelt, rivers and other surface water bodies constantly scour the foot of the slope; Tsunami, storm surge, freezing and thawing and unreasonable human engineering activities will all induce landslides.

When are landslides prone to occur? Landslides occur suddenly, with fierce force and great destructive power, which often causes great loss of life and property. According to the official WeChat account information of the Emergency Management Department, the rainy season is the most frequent season for landslides. According to statistics, more than 80% of landslides and collapses occur in the rainy season, especially during or after the rainfall.

What are the signs of landslides? According to the information of China Emergency Information Network, the spring that has been blocked for many years is revived, or the spring suddenly dries up and the water level of the well suddenly changes. At the toe of the front slope of the landslide, the soil bulges and there is a sound of rock fracture or shear extrusion; Small-scale collapse and relaxation occurred in the rock mass around the landslide, and the cracks at the rear edge of the landslide expanded rapidly, and hot air or cold air gushed out from the cracks; There are transverse and longitudinal radial cracks in the front of the landslide, which all reflect that the landslide has been pushed forward and has entered a state of imminent sliding.

How to save yourself when encountering a landslide? The first thing is to be calm and don't panic. It is necessary to flee to both sides of the landslide direction and find a safe zone around as soon as possible. When you can't continue to escape, you should quickly embrace the surrounding trees and other fixed objects, hide under solid obstacles, and pay attention to protecting your head. Don't run to the landslide when you escape, and don't choose the place to avoid disasters on the uphill or downhill slope of the landslide. Don't run from one dangerous area to another without a comprehensive investigation, obey the unified arrangement and don't choose your own route.

What should I do when driving through the landslide area? Observe carefully and drive safely. Pay attention to all kinds of dangers that may appear on the road at any time, such as falling rocks and branches. Check whether there are landslides, gullies, etc. Avoid danger on the road ahead. If you find that the front is about to collapse, stop at once. If you can't escape by car, you should abandon the car decisively.

When camping in the wild, you should avoid steep cliffs, gullies, and slopes with sparse vegetation, and don't camp on cracked slopes, and don't enter landslide-prone areas during aftershocks.

What should I do after the landslide? The official account of WeChat, the official WeChat of the Emergency Management Department, suggests not to break into the area where landslides have occurred to look for lost property. Don't go home to check the situation immediately after the landslide stops. Landslides will happen continuously, and if you rush home, you may be hurt by the second landslide. In addition, it is necessary to immediately report the occurrence of the disaster to the relevant government departments or units.
