Power outages, rain leaks, elevator strikes...... How to deal with these emergencies during typhoon days?

The lights kept flashing, the computer restarted indefinitely, and the elevator suddenly "went on strike...... Affected by Typhoon "Bebinca", the power supply of the power grid is unstable, and many citizens have posted news in the property group and circle of friends, reflecting that the electrical equipment at home is abnormal, some have even been without power, and some elevators in the community have failed to operate. So, how do you deal with these situations?

The reporter learned from the State Grid Shanghai Chongming Power Supply Company that due to the impact of the typhoon, the power facilities in the area were damaged to a certain extent, causing some lines in the area to trip. At present, all the emergency repair personnel of Chongming Power Supply Company rushed to the scene and are braving the rain to carry out emergency repairs to sudden faults.

The power supply department reminds the public that the insulation performance of electrical equipment in rainy days is reduced, and the resistance of the human body is relatively reduced. When water is found in the house, the power switch should be cut off immediately to prevent electric shock accidents; If you find that the electrical appliance has been soaked in water, do not turn on the power to avoid damaging the electrical appliance or causing leakage, and dry the electrical appliance completely before sending the electricity. If you find that the power supply line is broken in the water, the branches are pressing the wires, the power pole tower is tilted and broken, the transformer is abnormal in lightning, etc., do not deal with it by yourself, and should immediately make a mark around it, remind other pedestrians not to approach, and promptly notify the power supply department for emergency treatment (24-hour service hotline 95598).

In view of the abnormal operation of the elevator in the community, the reporter learned from the community property and elevator professional maintenance unit that the typhoon "Bebinca" brought a large wind and rain impact, heavy rainfall may lead to water ingress in the elevator machine room, affecting the normal operation of the control cabinet, traction machine and other components, and at the same time, affected by rainwater backflow, rainwater flows into the hoistway resulting in water accumulation in the pit, causing a short circuit and leading to elevator failure.

In order to prevent injuries and electricity leakage, Xiaobian reminds residents who take the elevator that they should try to close the unit doors and aisle windows when entering and exiting during the typhoon to avoid water ingress into the elevator due to wind and rain. In the process of taking the elevator, if residents find that the elevator has traces of water immersion or hear the sound of water during operation, please do not take the elevator and contact the property or elevator maintenance unit as soon as possible.

If the elevator suddenly stops running, don't panic, you can contact the outside world through the emergency call button, wait for the rescuers, and don't forcibly open the door. If the elevator is trapped due to a typhoon power outage, keep calm, conserve physical strength, and wait patiently for rescue
