At least one person was killed in a snowstorm in the northeastern United States. How to resist the snowstorm?

First, close the doors and windows and fix the outdoor structure. When a snowstorm comes, not only will the temperature drop sharply, but it will often be accompanied by strong winds. If the doors and windows are blown open by the wind when the storm and snow come, both body and mind will suffer a double blow. Before the snowstorm comes, we should check whether the doors and windows are safe, close them and check whether they are tight. Outdoor objects that are afraid of cold should be moved into the house in time, and immovable objects should be fixed. ?

Second, defend in time and prepare for the cold. When the snowstorm comes, try to minimize outdoor activities. Add some clothes when necessary and keep warm. Keep your head, hands and feet warm. Increase the intake of high-calorie and high-fat foods and enhance the body's ability to keep out the cold. The indoor temperature should be above 18℃ as far as possible, but it should not be too high, so as to avoid cold and other uncomfortable symptoms when going out because of the excessive temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Pay special attention to people in poor health, especially the elderly, children and pregnant women, and provide more protection. ?

In winter, people are afraid of the cold and wear thick clothes. When their activities are reduced, they seldom sweat, which leads to the symptoms of getting angry. If you are indoors, you can get up and walk for 10 minutes after sitting still for 2~3 hours to promote blood circulation in your feet. Sweating is also a normal way to detoxify the human body, which is very beneficial to the body. As the saying goes? Move in winter and get sick less; If you are lazy in winter, take an extra bowl of medicine. ? You can do aerobic exercise properly to strengthen your body and improve your immunity.

Third, be careful when traveling in snowy days. After the arrival of the snowstorm in the northern region, it is often accompanied by cooling and snowfall. When traveling in snowy weather, pedestrians should take the sidewalk instead of the motorway. We should choose the right way to travel according to our physical condition. Try to wear non-slip shoes and don't walk too fast, so as to avoid accidents when the soles slip. If you suddenly slip, try not to support your body with your hands, which is especially easy to cause wrist fracture. If you accidentally fall down, don't suddenly get up. After physical examination, get up slowly. ?

When driving in snowy days, the automatic start must be slow, and the tires will slip if you refuel slowly, because the fuel is too fast at first. Try to choose the middle lane when driving, and be sure to keep a longer distance than normal road conditions, because the braking distance will increase in snowy days. When driving with the car, try to choose the place where the front car ran over and there were ruts. If you encounter an emergency during driving, you must never slam on the brakes, and it is very easy to slip on the icy road. You should tread lightly, slowly and click on the brakes.

Fourth, the government strengthened supervision and launched emergency plans. According to the intensity of the cold wave, the government and relevant departments started corresponding defense work. The northern region is dominated by heating, while the southern region generally adopts electric heating, and the power sector should ensure power supply. The transportation department should prepare for road deicing to ensure traffic safety. When necessary, road traffic in special areas may be closed and travel may be restricted. The agricultural sector should actively guide agricultural workers to take anti-freezing measures.
