16 people were killed by flash floods in Datong county, Qinghai province. How to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters?

Extreme weather in 2022 happened too frequently. In the past, flash floods in Pengzhou caused many people to be in distress. Later, flash floods in Qinghai caused thousands of people to be affected, and even more than 30 people lost contact. Although August 2022 is the flood season in China, many areas are affected by heavy rainfall, which leads to floods, but it is also important to avoid suspicion in time. Secondary disasters such as landslides, flash floods and mudslides caused by heavy rainfall will pose an extremely serious threat to our lives. In the face of this situation, we should pay attention to prevention and not drift with the tide, otherwise it will be easily involved.

Secondary disasters are simply agricultural and geological disasters caused by typhoon, rainstorm and other factors. The power of secondary disasters caused by rainstorm is very rapid, such as mudslides, flash floods, waterlogging and landslides. Moreover, secondary disasters have the characteristics of great danger and sudden, because after being soaked and washed by heavy rain, the soil on its surface will become extremely loose, which will lead to landslides and flash floods.

In the face of this secondary disaster, we must flee as soon as possible. Don't part with your money. Life comes first. When encountering secondary disasters such as flash floods, you must run to the high slopes on both sides. Never follow the passage of mountain torrents, or you will be easily trapped by floods. In addition, if you are surrounded by mountain torrents, you must contact the public security, fire control and other departments at the first time to clarify your danger and location and seek the most timely assistance.

If the flood continues to rise, there will be few places to avoid danger, and only floating devices such as large foam, door panels and wooden beds can be used to escape. Of course, you may be involved in the flood. If you are involved, you must grab something that can float or be fixed and find a chance to escape. Finally, if you find that the telephone pole is broken or the high-voltage line is tilted when you escape, you must stay away as far as possible, because it is very easy to be fully charged nearby after it is broken, which will lead to electric shock, so you must be vigilant.
