Nanjing is facing a storm. What should citizens pay attention to when traveling?

According to relevant data, from 196 1 to now, the number of rainstorm days in China has been increasing continuously, which also means that we will often encounter rainstorm. As a destructive natural weather, rainstorm will bring a lot of harm and loss to our life. Therefore, you must pay attention to the following three items when traveling in a rainstorm to ensure your own safety.

1. Stay away from dangerous areas. After the rainstorm, some manhole covers on the road may be washed away. So when walking, be vigilant and pay attention to the road. It is best to avoid stagnant water or take a wooden stick to explore the road to avoid falling into sewers or potholes. At the same time, stay away from lampposts, telephone poles, billboards, tall buildings and construction sites during walking. These places are dangerous areas, and there may be falling objects.

Second, avoid using metal umbrellas. When a rainstorm occurs, the possibility of thunder is certain. Therefore, avoid using metal umbrella in rainstorm weather, because the tip of metal umbrella will become a lightning rod, increasing the risk of being struck by lightning. Therefore, when traveling in rainstorm weather, you should choose umbrellas made of insulating materials such as wood, chemical fiber and carbon fiber.

Third, pay attention to driving safety. If you choose to travel by bike in a rainstorm, be careful not to walk in the car. The route should choose the road section with good road conditions, and the road section with bad road conditions should choose the cart to walk. If you choose to travel by car, you should pay attention to driving safety, including reducing the speed, keeping a distance from other vehicles, and using low beam lights and front and rear fog lights reasonably. If you are driving on a road with deep water, you should keep shifting gears. For the road section with more than half a round of accumulated water, choose other routes and don't force it through.

In a word, when traveling in rainstorm weather, you should improve your safety awareness and take the above three preventive measures to avoid accidents. But if it is not necessary, it is best to avoid the rainstorm indoors and then choose to travel after the rainstorm.
