How to deal with typhoon weather?

When a typhoon approaches, it is important to promptly understand its dynamics, evacuate personnel to safe areas, avoid areas that are prone to casualties, and avoid sheltering from wind and rain in the aforementioned areas.

Reduce the possibility of falling objects from high altitude. Air conditioning external hanging and high-altitude facilities should be reinforced, and items such as flower pots exposed on balconies and windows should be moved indoors.

Doors and windows should be tightly tied and secured, especially aluminum alloy doors and windows should be protected.

Prepare emergency evacuation supplies. Check the wiring, prepare flashlights and candles, store drinking water to prevent power outages and water interruptions; Prepare more food and vegetables for one or two days, and do not go out unless necessary.

If you find that the high-voltage wire tower is toppling, the wire is sagging or broken, you must stay away and not reach out to touch it.
