How to avoid sandstorms in the desert?

How to avoid sandstorms in the desert? This is a very important question. You should lie on the ground, face down, wait for the empty socks to pass in the dusty weather, and don't race with the sandstorm.

Sandstorm is a common natural disaster in desert, which may cause serious harm to human body. According to the information I found on the Internet, I summarized the following points:

Take preventive measures. Be prepared to prevent sandstorms before entering the desert, such as wearing dust-proof glasses to prevent you from losing your sight and getting lost in sandstorms; Wear dust-proof cloth to prevent sandstorm from harming your body.

Keep your altitude. When encountering a sandstorm, you must keep your height down and don't walk upright to avoid the danger of being blown down or even swept away by a strong storm.

Looking for shelter. Look around more and look for objects that can be used as shelters anytime and anywhere, such as stone piles and large plants. In case of a sandstorm, you can find a shelter around it. If necessary, you can also ask the local people for help. They are very familiar with the desert environment.

Lying down selling fame to cover your face. If there is no shelter, you should lie down immediately and cover your head and face with a scarf and hat to prevent sand from confusing your eyes. If dust enters your eyes, don't rub it with your hands to avoid causing bacterial eye diseases. Rinse with clean water as soon as possible to make the dust flow out.

The following are some examples or related experiences of avoiding sandstorms in the desert:

From April 2065438 to April 2009, Li Xinrong, a researcher at the Institute of Environment and Engineering in Cold and Arid Regions of Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was conducting scientific research in Taklimakan Desert, Xinjiang, and others suffered a particularly strong sandstorm. They drove back to the scientific research station in time and waited in the car for more than two hours until the sandstorm passed. They said that the power of strong wind could be felt in the car, the car body kept shaking and the window was grinded by sand. They said: "This is the strongest sandstorm we have encountered since we participated in scientific research."

2065438+June 2008, Jamie Busby, a British photographer who was exploring photography in the Sahara desert in western Egypt, and his team were accidentally caught in a strong sandstorm. They didn't find any shelter, so they had to hide behind their cars and wrap themselves in blankets and clothes. They took some amazing photos and described the experience as "suffocating and horrible".

20/KLOC-In May, 2007, tourists who were visiting Yueya Spring Scenic Spot of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, China suddenly encountered a sandstorm. They are trapped in the scenic spot, so they can only hide in pavilions or trees and cover their mouths and noses with scarves or masks. Some tourists said that the sandstorm came quickly, the sky turned yellow, the visibility was low, and the eyes and skin were injured by the sandstorm.

The above are some examples or related experiences that I can provide to avoid sandstorms in the desert, hoping to inspire and help you. If you have other questions, please keep asking me. ?
