Heyuan flood (the flood is raging and the disaster is serious! )

Recently, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, suffered a serious flood, which was raging and the disaster was serious. It is understood that the flood caused hundreds of deaths and disappearances, and thousands of people were affected. In order to effectively cope with this flood, we need to take a series of measures to protect ourselves and the people around us.

Understand the basic knowledge of flood

In the face of flood, we need to know the basic knowledge of flood first. Flood refers to a natural disaster in which rivers, lakes, oceans and other water bodies expand beyond their original capacity due to rainfall or other reasons, threatening the safety of human life and property. The main hazards of flood include inundation, debris flow and mountain torrents.

Steps to deal with floods

When we encounter a flood, we need to take the following measures to protect ourselves and the people around us:

1. Emergency evacuation

When the flood strikes, you should evacuate at the first time. In the process of evacuation, we should try to avoid low-lying areas and areas close to rivers, and choose places with higher terrain or safety to take refuge.

2. Pay attention to the weather forecast

Weather forecast is a very important source of information during the flood. We need to pay close attention to the weather forecast at all times in order to take timely measures to deal with possible rainfall.

Step 3 take protective measures

We need to take protective measures before the flood comes. You can use sandbags and other items to strengthen the house to prevent water from invading. During the flood, attention should be paid to turning off the power supply and gas to avoid accidents such as fire.

4. Call for help and rescue

During the flood, if you are trapped or need rescue, you can ask friends and relatives or rescue departments for help through mobile phones, WeChat and other tools. At the same time, we can also actively participate in rescue operations and provide help to the people in the disaster areas.
