1、 Strengthen underground space control, prepare sufficient sandbags or barriers at entrances and exits, and strictly prevent waterlogging from entering. Conduct a comprehensive inspection of water, electricity, gas, communication and other facilities and equipment, and promptly eliminate hidden dangers. Reserve necessary living materials and make preparations for emergency rescue, transfer and avoidance.
2、 Pay close attention to weather forecasts issued by meteorological departments and warning information issued by relevant departments through television, radio, internet, SMS, WeChat, etc., and arrange travel reasonably. To minimize outdoor activities, be careful to stay away from large trees, billboards, and tall towers, as well as unfinished construction sites, walls, sheds, and other structures. Keep away from roadside electrical boxes, piles, and other electrical facilities to prevent hazards caused by electrical leakage. Do not stay in low-lying sections, sunken overpasses, or underground spaces.
3、 Pay attention to home safety, close doors and windows during thunderstorms and strong winds, and check if they are sturdy. High rise residential residents should transfer flower pots, debris, and suspended items placed on the exterior walls of balconies and rooftops to a safe area to avoid being blown down by strong winds and causing injury accidents. Individuals residing in areas susceptible to mountain floods, geological hazards, low-lying riverbanks, dangerous old houses, makeshift houses, tin houses, sheds, and low-lying areas shall actively cooperate with the relocation in accordance with the unified arrangement of the local government.

5、 Stay away from dangerous areas such as rivers and reservoirs, where heavy rainfall increases the likelihood of flooding in small and medium-sized rivers. Reservoir flooding can cause river water to surge, making it extremely dangerous and difficult to rescue near the riverbank. It is strictly prohibited to observe, wade, play, or fish near the water; It is strictly prohibited to pass or stay on the flooded bridge; The road at the top of the embankment is a flood prevention and emergency transportation line, and it is strictly prohibited to park vehicles to obstruct the smooth flow of the road at the top of the embankment.
6、 When traveling, one should consciously abide by the announcements, bans, and safety tips issued by the local government and relevant departments. In the event of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall, do not go to mountainous or water related tourist attractions to play. Pay attention to preventing natural disasters such as landslides, falling rocks, mudslides, and flash floods to prevent accidents from occurring.
