Torrential rain in Zhongyang, Shanxi Province caused flash floods and six workers were washed away. What are the self-help measures for mountain torrents?

Mountain torrents are a sudden disaster with concentrated water and strong destructive power. The flash floods caused by the torrential rain in Zhongyang, Shanxi, caused six workers to be washed away and five people lost contact, which also made everyone pay more attention to how to save themselves when encountering flash floods. Mountain torrents are caused by continuous rainfall or short-term heavy rainfall, which can induce mudslides, landslides and other disasters with very serious consequences, and mountain torrents are the most prone to accidents.

1. Be kind to mountain torrents, but master the correct methods.

When one person is exhausted and washed down by the flood, others will be washed down. Don't queue up at this time, and don't face the flood hand in hand. The person behind should hold the waist of the person in front, keep the center of gravity forward, and arrange in a V-shape or herringbone, waiting for rescue in this posture.

2. When encountering the danger of mountain torrents, the correct self-help should be familiar with the heart.

When you feel that the precipitation is too heavy, you should move to the top of the mountain in an organized way. When the mountain area is suddenly hit by flash floods, keep calm, leave the scene as soon as possible, and don't run downstream along the hillside. Don't transfer oil and water easily, but always pay attention to body landslides, mudslides and rolling stones. If you are trapped on a solid platform, wait patiently for rescue. If the cell phone has a signal, you should call 1 19 for help. Wave brightly colored objects around you for help.

In addition to self-help, we must also prevent flash floods.

We should always pay attention to the weather forecast information, pay close attention to the change of water quality, take emergency measures in time, and choose a safe place to transfer. Don't go to dangerous places. Rivers and mountains are far away. After entering the mountain, look at the signs, observe the water and mountains, and try to go as high as possible. Don't stay in loose soil, try to hide on rocks. Wait until the water level recedes.
