How to deal with typhoon weather?
When a typhoon comes, it is necessary to keep abreast of the dynamics of the typhoon, and personnel should be moved to a safe area in time, avoiding places that are prone to casualties (dangerous old houses, factories, sheds, temporary buildings), and do not shelter from the wind and rain in the above places.
Reduce the possibility of falling objects from height. Air conditioners should be suspended and high-altitude facilities should be reinforced, and items such as flower pots exposed on balconies and windows should be moved indoors.
Doors and windows should be tightly tied and tied, especially aluminum alloy doors and windows should be protected.
Prepare emergency items for escape. Check the wiring, prepare flashlights, candles, and store drinking water in case of power outages; Prepare more food and vegetables for one or two days, and do not go out unless necessary.
If you find that the high-voltage line tower is overturned, the wire is hanging low or broken, be sure to stay away, let alone reach out and touch.
