The rainstorm in Pingwu, Sichuan killed 2 people and lost 4 people. How can we protect ourselves in this situation?

At 5: 00 on July 12, 2022, a flash flood broke out in Muzuo Tibetan Township, Pingwu County, Sichuan Province, and the roadbed of some sections was washed away, and communication was interrupted. As of July 12 12, the rainstorm has caused two deaths and four people lost contact. So how should we protect ourselves effectively in the face of this disaster?

First of all, look at the weather forecast. If it is necessary to go out, watch the weather forecast before going out to reduce unnecessary going out and avoid sudden rainstorm on the way out. Then, if it is really a sudden rainstorm, first look for a square with higher terrain or a solid multi-storey building. Stay in the tall building for the first time to avoid injury. Avoid entering dangerous areas, boarding flood control facilities such as river banks, and entering underground areas of buildings to avoid water flooding into the ground. Then the third is to avoid entering the subway and other facilities. After all, the subway is underground. Once the rainstorm overflows, it will lead to power failure and be trapped in the subway.

In a word, all underground projects or buildings should not enter, stay away from or stay away from old buildings. Stay away from the hillside, after all, heavy rain may bring some secondary disasters, such as landslides and mudslides. If you are outdoors, don't stand under a tree or beside it, and don't get close to the billboard, so as not to be washed away by the heavy rain and hurt yourself. If you drive or walk, don't go downhill, lest the car be washed down from a height by heavy rain, and you can't brake in time, and you may accidentally hit it. Try not to wear sandals and slippers when going out in rainy days. After all, if you wear sandals and slippers, the basic situation of the ground is covered by too much rain, and it is easy to slip and get injured. Try not to use transportation facilities in heavy rain. In the event of heavy rain, it is easy to slide to the low ground because it is impossible to judge the ground situation and water accumulation. If you leave the means of transportation, you should act in groups, try to be in a crowded place, and don't fight alone. Especially in the case of heavy rain, try not to touch anything with electricity. Avoid getting an electric shock by yourself after the rain conducts electricity.
