Is Fuzhou greatly affected by typhoons?

Fuzhou was greatly affected by the typhoon.

Fuzhou is located on the southeast edge of Eurasia, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the east, and has a typical subtropical monsoon climate. Every year, 6- 10 typhoons are active, with an average of 3-4 typhoons affecting Fuzhou every year. Secondly, Fuzhou is surrounded by mountains, with the Minjiang River Basin in the middle, forming a bowl. When the typhoon strikes, the rainwater in the mountainous area will be collected in the Minjiang River Basin. Coupled with the influence of the Minjiang River tide, the water level of the Minjiang River will rise, which will hinder the drainage of the urban area. Therefore, Fuzhou is still greatly affected by typhoons.

Extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rains and storm surges brought by typhoons easily lead to disasters such as house collapse, road interruption and power interruption. When a typhoon comes, people are often unable to go out, trapped at home or elsewhere, and unable to get rescue in time. At the same time, heavy storms will also cause secondary disasters such as landslides and mudslides, which will bring greater threats to people's lives and safety.

Measures to deal with typhoons

1, typhoon warning is generally issued in advance, so there is enough preparation time before the disaster begins. Paying close attention to weather forecasts and warnings every day is the first step to protect yourself.

Before the typhoon comes, you must reserve enough non-perishable food and drinking water for several days. This can avoid the shortage of food and water resources in bad weather.

People living in typhoon-prone areas should know how to evacuate to safe places. It is very important to determine the nearest shelter or temporary safe place in advance and be familiar with the evacuation route.

4. Strengthen the family building, and seal the doors and windows with thick tape or wooden boards to prevent the glass from breaking. Move easily damaged furniture and appliances to avoid extra danger in the storm.
