What are the correct first aid measures to take when encountering a tornado?

In recent times, there have been frequent reports of tornadoes hitting coastal areas in my country. The devastation caused by the tornado left people heartbroken. At the same time, it also sounded the alarm in our hearts about the incoming tornado. In fact, we need to master some first aid knowledge about the coming tornado. In this way, in the face of a sudden intrusion by a tornado, it is better to take correct emergency first aid measures.

1. Preventive measures

(1) Pay attention to media reports. For example, radio, television, etc.

(2) Identify tornado clouds. In addition to the general characteristics of cumulonimbus clouds, tornado clouds will also have black roller-shaped clouds at the cloud base. When a funnel cloud is seen stretching down from the cloud base, a tornado will appear.

2. Emergency and countermeasures

(1) Escape in the wild

When you hear a loud and dull whistle coming from far and near in the wild, you should immediately Dodge. The sound may be "like the hissing of millions of snakes", or "like the piercing roar of dozens of jet planes and tanks", or "like the roar of a locomotive or steamboat", etc.

If you encounter a tornado in the wild, you should take shelter in a low-lying area opposite or perpendicular to the path of the tornado, because tornadoes generally do not turn suddenly.

(2) Indoor shelter

When a tornado hits a house, open some doors and windows and hide in a small room, secret room or concrete underground shelter with a 25cm cover The above concrete slab is ideal.

Note: Cars and mobile homes have no protection against tornadoes.

Take shelter in the northeastern room and squat with your head facing the wall. Because the interior wall in the southwest direction is prone to collapse.

If there is no basement, you should run out of the house, stay away from dangerous houses and mobile homes, evacuate in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the tornado, hide in low-lying areas or lie flat on the ground low, and protect your head; You can run to a room near a big tree to take shelter (pay attention to preventing injuries).

(3) Escape by car

When you encounter a tornado while riding in a car, you should stop immediately and get out of the car to avoid it to prevent the car from being swept away and causing an explosion.

People will be panicked when a tornado comes, so they cannot find emergency first-aid escape methods when they are panicked. Therefore, when a tornado comes, first do not panic, and finally, you can use some escape techniques for a tornado to quickly Get away from the dangerous scene. So I hope the above introduction can be for everyone’s reference and come in handy.
