Preventive measures for typhoon weather:

When going out, avoid walking on the roads or bridges by the river and the sea. When the typhoon comes, stay away from the construction site and under the dangerous shed to prevent falling objects from hurting people.

2. Close the doors and windows at home: When the typhoon comes, close the doors and windows in time. Clothes hanging outside should be taken down, and flowerpots and other sundries on the balcony should be put away to avoid being blown away or falling by the wind and hurting people.

3. No swimming at the seaside: Never swim at the seaside when a typhoon comes. The violent waves are beating with the typhoon, so it is difficult for you to escape at once. When you realize the danger, it's too late.

4. Don't touch the fallen wires easily: outdoors, if you find that the high-voltage tower has been pushed down and the wires are drooping or broken, don't approach, let alone touch it with your hands, and jump away with one foot; If anyone is found to get an electric shock, cut off the power supply immediately, or separate the injured person from the power supply with a dry wooden stick or bamboo pole as soon as possible. Don't wade on the road with stagnant water, and always observe whether there are wires falling into the stagnant water to prevent electric shock.
