People in low-lying areas should be prepared to move, drive their cars out of underground garages and prepare necessary food, drinking water and daily necessities. It's best to stay at home for a few days and wait for the typhoon to come before going out.

Reduce outdoor activities

After the typhoon comes, local people should try their best to reduce outdoor activities, especially don't go to coastal areas, keep abreast of local typhoon warning information and master the government's preventive measures to avoid adding chaos to the government. If there are open-air collective activities or large-scale outdoor gatherings, the evacuation work must be cancelled and done in time. Do not swim or go out to sea by boat when the typhoon passes, and do not shelter from the rain under the tree in case of thunderstorm to avoid being struck by lightning.

Close the doors and windows at home and take preventive measures.

After the typhoon comes, it is necessary to close the doors and windows at home, take safety precautions, clean up all indoor structures that are easily blown off by the wind or flowerpots placed on the windowsill, fix the outdoor air conditioner and check the tightness of doors and windows. If it is loose, it must be nailed firmly to prevent the doors and windows from being damaged after the typhoon comes, so that the typhoon and rainstorm splash indoors. In addition, all valuables should be removed from the doors and windows.

Low-lying areas should be transferred in time.

Some people live in low-lying areas. Every time there is a typhoon or rain, there will be a lot of water near their home. Such people should move or prepare to move in time before the typhoon comes, and they can evacuate in time when there is water or danger. In addition, they must take the car out of the underground garage before the typhoon comes and park it in a safe place to avoid flooding the underground garage and causing vehicle damage.

Prepare water and food.

When the typhoon comes, local people should also prepare necessary food and drinking water, as well as daily necessities such as flashlights, candles and charging treasures. When the typhoon comes, water and electricity may be cut off, and full preparation will not affect normal life. Besides drinking water, you can also prepare some water for washing. It's best to have several buckets filled at home, so that the normal use of the bathroom will not be affected after the water is stopped.
