Sichuan was hit by the biggest flood in 70 years, and more than 50,000 people were affected. How to save yourself when a rainstorm strikes?

First of all, try to avoid going out in heavy rain.

There is no danger of staying indoors. However, if the house is lower than the low-lying area, and the rainstorm lasts for many days, and the environment is in the mountainous area, we must pay attention to the occurrence of secondary disasters such as flood control, waterlogging prevention and debris flow prevention. It is safer to move to a safe place in advance and move to a high place.

Sichuan is abundant in rain, mainly in mountainous areas, and various natural disasters often occur. This once-in-70-year flood has caused more than 50,000 people to be affected and suffered heavy losses.

Secondly, rainstorm weather is mainly accompanied by lightning and strong winds to avoid being struck by lightning.

If you suddenly encounter a rainstorm in the wild and outdoors accompanied by lightning, you can choose to squat down and try to reduce the height to reduce the possibility of being hit; Avoid big trees; Don't answer the phone; An umbrella is useless in a rainstorm, it may be blown down by the wind. Don't use an umbrella. Don't go near high walls or tall buildings that may drop glass curtain walls; Don't go near overhead power supply lines and transformers, and don't take shelter from the rain under overhead transformers.

If you need to move, just take the necessary escape items. Foam boxes, ropes, flashlights, emergency lights and other floating objects. Life is more important. "You are not afraid of burning without firewood." If driving, turn on the lights and drive at a low speed; If the vehicle is flooded, you must abandon the vehicle and escape.

If you encounter heavy rain during your trip, don't go ahead in the rain. You can find the nearest hotel and settle down until the rain stops. If you drive, you'd better park in a safe place and don't wade forward.

If the rainstorm happens to be the time for work or school, I would rather be late than walk in the rain.

If it's after work or school, don't go home until the rainstorm stops.

In particular, be sure to tell your child that if it rains after school, mom and dad may pick you up later. It is always safer to stay in schools and classrooms than to walk in the street. If you are already on the road and want to take shelter from the rain in shops or large buildings on the road, your family will definitely pick you up. It is necessary for children to have a sense of safety and learn to protect themselves.
