What should we pay attention to when dealing with freezing rain, snow and ice?

First, how to reduce the losses caused by the cold wave

1. Cold wave

Experts suggest that the cold wave is a strong cold air activity that attacks from polar regions or cold zones to low latitudes. The cold wave struck and the weather changed suddenly. At this time, we should learn relevant protection knowledge to resist the strong wind, blizzard and cooling weather brought by the cold wave.

Related knowledge: ① Cold wave will lead to a sudden drop in temperature. Sometimes the temperature will drop to about MINUS 30 degrees. ② There is strong wind and heavy snow, and there may be 2 meters of snow in many places. ③ Trains and trams may derail. Due to transportation difficulties, the energy supply will be threatened. Many wild animals will die of cold.

Essentials of self-help and mutual rescue: ① Keep indoor ventilation when heating; ② Correct use of water heater and gas. Because of the low temperature in winter, the indoor air does not flow, which is easy to cause hypoxia. If the water heater or gas stove is installed indoors, carbon monoxide poisoning may occur. Because carbon monoxide is the invisible killer of heating in winter, special attention should be paid when the climate is abnormal and the air pressure is low, and the coal in the furnace hall should be hollowed out before going to bed at night. To prevent smoke and dust from flowing back in the middle of the night due to low air pressure. (4) When the air pressure is low, meteorological departments and environmental protection departments should promptly remind the public to take precautions against carbon monoxide poisoning. ⑤ When the cold wave strikes, cars should also be protected from carbon monoxide poisoning, and don't turn on the air conditioner for too long when parking. Because the carbon monoxide emitted by the engine gathers in the car after parking, it is easy to cause poisoning, so it is necessary to open the window for ventilation.

Second, the protective measures of snowstorm
