What should I do when traveling during a typhoon?

The weather is always changing. Sometimes you don't know why it changes. In fact, it was just raining or something. What if it's a typhoon? Now let’s take a look at what to do if you encounter a typhoon while traveling.

Preparation before traveling

(That is, it has not started yet)

I will explain the preparation before traveling in four parts.

The first thing to do is to do a comprehensive investigation.

The prerequisite for typhoon prevention is to understand typhoon warnings in advance and be fully prepared before the typhoon arrives.

Or advanced typhoon warnings and related weather conditions will play a key role in your subsequent decisions.

PC query method: Query through the Central Meteorological Administration typhoon website.

WeChat query method: Wallet City Service Life Service - Typhoon Query

You can check the typhoon situation in real time through WeChat and display the distance between the typhoon and you.

Note: Remember to switch the query city when querying.

When you look at the weather, you need to make decisions based on its severity.

If the typhoon is severe, it is not advisable to travel.

Non-free friends

You will then need to contact your travel agent to see if you can cancel the trip.

Friends who travel freely

If you decide to cancel your trip, remember to cancel some hotels, air tickets and tickets you have booked for this trip.

If the typhoon is not severe or the trip cannot be canceled, you may need to pay attention to the following points.

Always pay attention to the weather and make sure you are prepared in advance.

To be on the safe side, try to stay away from seaside, riverside and other hotels. And don’t choose a low-lying hotel when you come in.

If you choose public transportation, you need to pay attention to travel dynamics and make mental plans and preparation plans for flight delays or even cancellations.

If you choose to drive by yourself, check the route, weather, and road conditions in advance, and remember to equip the car with necessary rescue equipment such as safety warning signs.

You can bring some things, such as a whistle, a flashlight, and some regular medicine. These things don't take up much space and can come in handy at critical times.

Attention during the trip

Selection of scenic spots

During the typhoon, some scenic spots may cause landslides, collapse of retaining walls, and collapse of large tourist facilities due to the nature of the scenic spots. As the number increases, drowning incidents are also prone to occur in coastal/river/river scenic spots. Try to avoid scenic spots with more than one attribute.

Lines

Try not to go out one to six hours before a typhoon makes landfall, and keep doors and windows closed.

When a typhoon approaches, you should avoid going out. Even weak typhoons can increase the incidence of injuries from falling objects.

If you travel, try not to walk to reduce the possibility of accidents.

If you are traveling with a group, try to follow the group instead of going alone.

Stay alive

Stick to the previous principle, try to stay away from coastal hotels.

If necessary, stock up on food and water during this time.

If the wind is very strong, you can put tape on the windows several times to prevent the glass from breaking.

Practical tips

Emergency call: 120

Traffic accident telephone number: 122

Weather inquiry telephone number: 12121

< p>Public security SMS alarm: 12110

State Grid telephone number: 95598. If there is a sudden power outage at home during a typhoon, it is best to unplug the power supply at home. You can call to inquire about the outage. If you see a power line blown down on the road, you can also call the electric power personnel for emergency repairs. Don't handle it privately.

Marine distress hotline: 12395. If you are in distress at sea or observe an accident at sea, you can call for help.

What to do

If you encounter a typhoon during your trip or a possible typhoon is forecast. First of all, check the weather forecast in advance to see the predicted intensity of the typhoon, the cities it may hit, and the status of departure-stopover-destination. Important information includes local experience and foundation for typhoon prevention, such as drainage facilities, reinforcement facilities, citizens’ disaster prevention awareness, etc. Reserve yourself more knowledge and be prepared.

Second, raincoats and boots are a must. If you abandon the umbrella, the wind may be strong enough to blow it into a parachute. Prepare extra clothes in case you have nothing to change into when you get wet during a typhoon. When a typhoon comes, the temperature will drop. Bring some long-sleeved clothes, jackets, etc. Keep out the cold.

Third, according to geography textbooks, typhoons are also called tropical cyclones. They move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. Typhoon refers to strong winds of level 12 and above. People on the Atlantic coast also call it hurricane, and Taiwan also calls it the same name.

Fourth, typhoons form at sea and will cause violent storms when they land on land. After a typhoon makes landfall, the wind force will gradually decrease due to friction on the ground. If it feels like the wind and rain have temporarily decreased, it does not necessarily mean that the typhoon has passed. Know that there is no rain or wind in the center of the typhoon - the eye of the typhoon. It is possible that your place is affected by the eye of the typhoon at this time. Pay attention to the weather station information and wait until the typhoon has completely passed before traveling normally.

In short, if you encounter a typhoon when traveling, it is best to choose indoor projects, reserve water and food in advance, charge the battery, and be careful. But don’t miss the fun of seeing typhoons up close. For example, the traditional typhoons are named Dragon King and Dianmu, the dreamy typhoons are named Dandelion and Galaxy, and the funny typhoons are named Compass and Haima. Every time a typhoon comes, the sound of the wind blowing on the windows really wants to be dubbed into a movie special effect. Chaotic footsteps.
