Everyone knows that it's safest to stay in a high, solid building in a rainstorm, but sometimes, it's hard to get out, and how can we ensure our safety in the face of extreme precipitation and the waterlogging it can bring? Here are 5 basic safety tips:
1. The shoes with the highest safety factor in floods are sneakers, even if they are soaked in water, they will not prevent evacuation from being evacuated, just remember to fasten your shoelaces. Remember, we are preparing for the extreme precipitation we may face.
2. If there are no sneakers in a critical moment, wrap a rope around the toe of the leather shoe 2 to 3 times, or put a band-aid on the toe part of the sole, which can also prevent "slippery" on the road.
3. In addition to sneakers, sticks, bamboo poles or trekking poles are also part of the recommended outfit for rainy days, which can help us to explore the ditches and bumps underwater.
4. Whirlpools may be freshly shaved sewers, and detours should be made to overpasses, culverts, low-lying sections of roads with large areas of waterlogging, temporary fences, and temporary buildings. It's instinctive to hold on to objects around you when wading through water, but at this time, telephone poles and even trees can be electrified, so hold on to the small bamboo pole in your hand.
5. The limit of the depth of water that adults can move forward in the water is about 70 cm, when the water is waist-deep, do not insist on walking in the water, at this time you should find a piece of high ground and wait for rescue.
