The cold wave hits at the end of the year. What measures have been taken to prevent cold in various places?

With the cold wave coming at the end of the year, our country will experience the coldest weather since the beginning of winter, and the temperatures in 25 provincial and capital cities will hit record lows. People everywhere need to add clothing and down jackets to keep warm and cold to avoid colds and coughs. When traveling, it is necessary to avoid traffic accidents caused by snow. Outdoor water supply equipment requires enhanced protection to prevent pipes from freezing. Pay attention to fire prevention outdoors, and pay attention to preventing low-temperature freezing damage in agriculture. For some offshore operations, including tourism, it is even more necessary to strengthen safety guarantees.

Expert analysis said that the cold wave weather in the winter of 2020 will have a large cooling range, a wide range of effects, strong winds and low temperatures, and a long duration, which is comparable to the "overlord" cold wave in 2016. Because the cold air brought by the cold wave is too strong, even Hainan and Yunnan will be affected. The lowest temperatures in Guangzhou, Nanning, Chengdu, Chongqing and other places will fall below 5℃. The lowest nighttime temperature in Beijing will be close to -13°, the lowest value for the same period in the past ten years. The lowest temperature on New Year’s Eve in Harbin was around -26°C. To this end, some cold protection measures have been taken in various places.

First of all, the weather is cold. People should pay attention to keeping warm from wind and cold to prevent respiratory diseases such as colds and coughs. It is said that even friends in Hainan need to wear down jackets. People in Harbin are at risk of frostbite if their skin is exposed, so they need to be fully armed. Due to the cold weather, pay attention to indoor ventilation and use gas with caution.

Secondly, in some areas suffering from low temperature and freezing damage, property management and other departments have taken protective measures for some outdoor water supply equipment to prevent them from freezing and affecting domestic water use. Before the cold wave really comes, some damaged parts need to be repaired in time.

In addition, we must also be on guard against icy roads caused by rain, snow or low temperatures, and clear snow on the ground in time to prevent traffic accidents. Especially mountain roads require attention to traffic safety. Once a disaster occurs, emergency plans need to be activated, so relevant departments need to prepare relevant measures.

For crops, it is necessary to do a good job in preventing cold and freezing in time. Close attention must be paid to some maritime vessels and water operations, including the safety of the tourism industry. We also need to pay attention to forest fire prevention and send more manpower to patrol regularly. The above are the general response measures in some regions.
