What should you do in the event of a typhoon?

First of all, it is best for us not to go out, stay calm, and take various protective measures. If you must travel, it is recommended to take the train. Among the three transportation modes: aviation, railway, and highway, highway transportation is generally the most affected by typhoons. If you must travel, it is recommended not to drive yourself. You can choose to take the train.

When traveling, please stay as far away from construction sites as possible

It is best for residents to keep a little distance when passing by construction sites, because some construction site walls may become loose due to rainwater penetration; and Some fences may collapse; some materials scattered on high-rise buildings that are not collected in time, such as steel pipes, hammers, etc., may be blown down by the wind; and where there are tower cranes, you must pay more attention to safety, because if the wind is strong, the tower crane arm will It may break. In some places, building facades are being renovated. When passing by scaffolding, it is best to go around it instead of going underneath.

Keep the news flowing, prepare necessities, and organize things at home

Pay attention to the weather reports on the radio or TV. Have a battery-operated radio (and extra batteries) ready in case the power goes out. Have candles and flashlights ready. Stock up on food, drinking water, batteries and first aid supplies.

Secure or retract all movable items outside the house and on the balcony, including toys, bicycles, furniture, plants, etc. Move potted plants or other heavy objects away from windows.

Tips: Before the typhoon approaches, flower pots and other items from balconies and windows should be moved indoors. Do not go out at will. Parents should take care of their children. Residents should tie up doors and windows tightly, especially for aluminum alloys. Doors and windows are protected to ensure safety. When traveling, citizens are advised to stay away from windward doors and windows, and do not take shelter from the rain or stay under large trees.

Check whether doors and windows are sealed. If the wind is too strong, rainwater may still enter the house even if the windows are closed, so towels and mops are needed. If the wind is strong, stay away from windows and other items that may shatter. In the event of a flood, turn off all power, water, and gas in your home.

Tip: Do not blindly rescue yourself after being injured. Please call 120.

Typhoons cause the most first-aid accidents such as trauma, fractures, and electric shock. Traumatic injuries are mainly head trauma, injuries caused by downed trees, telephone poles or falling objects such as flower pots and tiles. Electrical injuries are mainly caused by being hit by downed power lines or stepping on power lines hidden under trees. Don't go barefoot, it's best to wear rain boots, which can prevent rain and act as an insulator to prevent electric shock. Watch carefully when walking to avoid stepping on wires. Be careful when passing through alleys, as accidents such as wall and telephone pole collapse can easily occur. Be careful to avoid falling objects under tall buildings. In the event of a first aid accident, call 120 first. Do not move the injured without permission or find a car for first aid. Improper moving can cause nerve damage to patients with fractures, and in severe cases, paralysis.
