Seeking popularization: precautions for outdoor electricity prevention in rainy days

1. Keep away from overhead power supply lines and transformers, and avoid rain under overhead transformers. Because strong wind may break overhead wires, lightning and heavy rain may easily cause bare wires or short-circuit discharge of transformers, posing a threat to personal safety.

2. Pay attention to the surrounding environment when sheltering from the rain, and don't stay or shelter from the rain under tall trees or large billboards near power supply lines. Because once branches are blown off or billboards are blown down by strong winds, wires that are close to each other are likely to be pulled off or put on wires. Once the human body comes into contact with those broken wires and wet trees or metal billboards, it will be very dangerous.

Don't touch the tree near the wire. In some places, trees and wires are parallel. As the trees grow taller every year, some crowns surround the wires. When encountering thunderstorm and strong wind, trees and wires collide and rub with each other, which will lead to short circuit and discharge.

4. When people are walking outdoors, they should try their best to avoid pulling the wire of the telephone pole, because the upper end of the cable is very close to the power line, and accidents may occur in bad weather, which may make the cable live.

After the rainstorm, there may be water on the roads in some places. It's best not to wade at this time. If you have to wade, you must always observe whether there are any broken wires in the stagnant water near the road you pass.

6. If you find that the power cord in the stagnant water is broken and the water is charged, don't handle it yourself. You should mark the surrounding area immediately, remind other pedestrians not to approach, and call the power supply department for emergency treatment in time.
