How to deal with bad weather

Strong convective weather is often accompanied by precipitation, lightning, strong winds, hail, tornadoes and so on. Although the life cycle of strong convective weather is short. But it is often sudden, which makes you unprepared. And it has powerful destructive power. So in the face of this situation, the first thing is to pay attention to the news of the local meteorological observatory. It is best to avoid outdoor activities in strong convective weather. If you are outside, you should also avoid nearby shops first. You can also pay attention to weather news in real time through mobile phones and the Internet.

When lightning strikes, people should not work in the fields and stay away from high-voltage wires and isolated tall buildings, trees and flagpoles. Don't stand in an open place or under a big tree to shelter from the rain. Don't use umbrellas with metal columns, and don't use metal tools in suburbs or open places.

Windproof: Stores should reinforce billboards, scaffolding and other structures. Motor vehicles and pedestrians should slow down and pay attention to the surrounding conditions. Ships and personnel working at sea should return to Hong Kong as soon as possible to take shelter from the wind.

Hail prevention: outdoor pedestrians should immediately go to a safe place to avoid, drive poultry and livestock to a sheltered place, and protect outdoor items or other equipment vulnerable to hail.

Short-term heavy precipitation will bring about a surge in surface runoff and easily lead to urban waterlogging. In areas with fragile address conditions, farmland waterlogging is easy to cause mudslides and landslides.

When there is waterlogging in the city where you live, pay attention to observation and walk close to the building to prevent you from falling into the pit. When drivers encounter too deep water on the road, they should make a detour. Avoid forced passage. When the car stalls in low-lying water, people should never wait in the car, but get off and wait for rescue at a high place.

When encountering a debris flow, you should run to the hillside on both sides of the debris flow direction, and you must not run vertically up or down, let alone stay on the concave slope.

When encountering a landslide, first of all, don't run along the slope, but run to both sides.
