How to save yourself in blizzard weather

How to save yourself in blizzard weather is explained as follows:

(1) Pay attention to the weather forecast before going out. A snowstorm was an accident. Therefore, whether you are going out for work or tourism, you should first consult the weather forecast, especially the "disastrous weather" forecast, such as cold current, heavy snow or blizzard hurricane, and it is best not to go out. If you have to go out, you should be equipped with warm clothes, drinking water, food, flashlights, lighting equipment and transportation.

(2) ask the relevant departments for help. But ... many people may not be able to contact the rescue department because of poor cell phone signal or interruption in mountains or forests. At this time, we must keep calm, first find an obvious marker, and walk a certain distance in different directions with it as the center, even if it is several kilometers, we should try to get through the call for help, but we should pay attention to keeping the power of the mobile phone, not wasting it and ensuring communication.

(3) First keep your head warm. The most important thing in a snowstorm is to prevent cold and frost. The first is to keep your head warm, because 4% of the body's heat is emitted from your head, so keep your fingers and toes warm. If the car breaks down or walks in a snowstorm, you should find some flammable materials such as branches or firewood to keep warm as soon as possible. If there is no fire, protect your head first when taking warm measures. If you have to spend the night in the wild, you should dig a snow hole in the lee and hide in it. The temperature in the cave is higher than that outside the cave, which can generally avoid casualties. As long as the materials are sufficient, this method can last for several days.

(4) If the car is difficult to walk or cannot move in a snowstorm, the best way to avoid the cold is to hide in the car and wrap up clothes or quilts. If the rescue hasn't arrived yet, turn on the air conditioner in the car every 1 hour 1 minute to keep warm. Don't turn on the air conditioner continuously, because it will doze off if it is warm, and it is also to save fuel and ensure long-term support to the rescue. If the blizzard is not heavy, go out for a walk every hour or two to exercise and prevent frostbite on toes and chest, but don't do strenuous exercise to avoid increasing energy consumption and causing fatigue.

(5) Don't think that smoking and drinking can drive away the cold. Doing so will be counterproductive, because alcohol and tobacco will change blood circulation and lower body temperature. For example, alcohol can dilate blood vessels, leading to faster dissipation of body temperature and easy to doze off after drinking. Once you fall asleep, it is easy to freeze your body.

(6) Don't walk until you are exhausted. When encountering a snowstorm, if you carry a navigator that can tell the direction with you, make sure that the road is not far and you can walk to a safe area. Walking in the snow is very tiring, so pay attention to rest and keep your strength. Don't wait until you are exhausted. This is very dangerous. Once you fall asleep, maybe no one will wake up again. So, you should stop and have a rest, adjust your breath, move your hands and feet and massage your face. In this way, you may be saved. If the road is long and it is difficult to tell the direction, you'd better call for help, save your strength and wait for help. Walking in the snow should prevent falls and injuries. Walking in the snow is the easiest to fall and break, so you should wear thick gloves and knee pads when walking in the snow, which can not only play a buffering role, but also keep warm.
