How to avoid typhoon water?

Typhoon brings heavy rain often leads to severe water accumulation in the city's low ground, which may hide a deadly risk of electric shock under the water surface.Water is a good conductor, once the power facility leaks, the current will quickly spread through the water accumulation, forming "cross voltage" or direct electric shock to the human body.Therefore, while walking in the water, stay vigilant, identifying hazardous areas is key.
远离这些“隐形杀手”
When walking in the water, the primary principle is to avoid all possible electricity-related public facilities.
- 路灯杆与信号灯杆These metal bars are covered inside the lines, long-term winds and rains can cause ageing damage to the insulation layer.If there is a wave shock around the water surface of the bars or a fluid sound is heard, indicating that there has been a leakage, it should be removed immediately.
- 变压器与配电箱The green/grey iron boxes next to the neighborhood or the street are concentrated in high-pressure equipment.When the water has not reached the base, do not stay nearby, and do not try to open the box door.
- 空调外机与广告灯箱The external wall of the building suspended equipment if fixed unstable or the line is naked, rain water infiltration is extremely easy to leak electricity.
- 断落的电线Regardless of whether the wire is immersed in the water, as soon as you see the broken cable, it must be assumed that it is powered.
正确的避险姿势与装备
If unfortunately fall into the suspected leakage area, or must pass in shallow water, take scientific protective measures. First, be sure to wear glue shoes, avoid barefoot or wear wet clothes, leather shoes, because the dry rubber has good insulation. second, try to use long umbrellas or hips when walking, both available at the depth of the water, can also play a certain insulation buffer effect when touching electrical objects (beware not to directly contact the metal part) .
If you feel scratching under your feet, this may be a sign of electric shock. Do not run at this time, because a large step running will produce a greater cross-speed voltage, increasing the risk of injury. The right approach is to immediately StopMoving, standing one foot or two feet together, slowly jump out of the hazardous area, or wait for rescue. If you see someone hit the ground, do not pull directly with your hands, should first cut off the power supply or with dry wooden bars, plastic pipe and other insulating objects will pull out the wiring, and then implement emergency aid.
关注预警, 减少外出
According to the China Meteorological Administration's national standard of tropical cyclones, when Typhoon brings Rainstorm and higher levels of rainfall, the risk of sewage in the city is significantly increased.The local standards may vary, according to the local government, usually when the weather department issues Rainstorm red warning or Typhoon High level of warning, it is recommended that citizens do not go out, the employer should arrange a stop of work in accordance with the regulations.
