In the face of flood disasters, how should the general public prevent and protect their lives? Do the following to scientifically respond to heavy rains and floods:
(1) In low-lying residential areas, "small encirclement" measures can be taken according to local conditions, such as building fences, placing water barriers at the gates, and configuring small Water pumps, etc.
(2) Before the flood comes, collect tubs, wood, large foam plastics and other materials suitable for floating, and prepare medicines and communication tools.
(3) When you are indoors, turn off the power and gas main switch. When water enters the room, cut off the power immediately to prevent the water from being electrified and injuring people. When a flood comes, don't be greedy for finances, evacuate to the roof of the building as soon as possible, and send a distress signal immediately.
(4) Stop outdoor work and outdoor activities immediately when you are outdoors. When you find that a high-voltage power line tower is tilted or a power line is sagging, you must move away quickly.
(5) Never swim to escape, climb live telegraph poles, iron towers, or climb to the roof of a mud house.
(6) If the flood continues to rise and it is difficult to protect yourself in the temporary refuge area, you should make full use of the prepared life-saving equipment to escape, or quickly find some door panels, tables and chairs, wooden beds, large blocks, etc. Plastic and other buoyant materials were blown up into rafts to escape.
(7) Pay special attention to heavy rain at night, as dilapidated houses on dikes may collapse and injure people.
