In addition to being critical when an earthquake occurs, it is also necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the earthquake situation after the earthquake to prevent various secondary disasters.

According to the forecast of the local meteorological department, there may be rainy weather in Luding, Sichuan in the next few days, and the rainfall will even increase to moderate rain on September 8, which is likely to adversely affect traffic and rescue. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention of secondary disasters such as landslides, mudslides and collapses caused by rainfall. Earthquake can be said to be one of the most harmful natural disasters to human beings. In addition to the great harm caused by the earthquake, the secondary disasters it brings can not be underestimated.

For example, the most common fires are caused by landslides, damage to electrical facilities or flammable explosions. If the focal depth is deep, it may also trigger a tsunami. Moreover, after the earthquake, due to poor sanitary conditions and lack of epidemic prevention measures, it may even cause various infectious diseases, which seriously endanger people's health. If we want to better prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters, residents should pay close attention to the disaster information released by local authorities or governments in time. Although some houses were not damaged after the earthquake, they may be collapsed by aftershocks.

Therefore, after receiving the warning information, you should immediately go to the shelter to avoid danger, and remember not to miss the best escape opportunity because of your lust for property. In addition, personal protection should be strengthened, masks should be worn correctly, and alcohol or other items can be used for disinfection to avoid infection with various bacteria and viruses. Once you find something abnormal, you should report it to the doctor in time.
