To ensure fire prevention and fighting safety, rescue and relief (PCCC, CNCH) during the rainy, stormy and flood seasons, people need to take some measures to ensure safety and avoid accidents when going out on the road, such as paying attention to road signs, especially danger signs , stop signs and obstacles on the road to promptly handle incidents and avoid accidents.
Pay attention to obstacles on the road to handle them promptly because on windy days, many tarpaulin signs, corrugated iron roofs, tree branches can fall onto the road... which is also a potential danger.
Observe the path of the vehicle in front to proactively avoid the unexpected events that the vehicle in front has encountered. Avoid driving on bridges, especially high bridges, because the wind is stronger at high altitudes, making it impossible to control the steering wheel. If you have to drive on a bridge, you should move at a slow speed and try to hold yourself down on the vehicle and lower your head to avoid being "blown away by the wind".
Avoid crossing bridges if the water is high and fast flowing and avoid crossing drains, they can be very dangerous as the water is very swirling and strong. There have been many cases of people falling into drains and being swept away.
Wear a light-colored, neat raincoat, do not use an umbrella. You should wear separate pants and raincoat to minimize wind resistance, and avoid worrying about the raincoat flaps being blown away in case of strong winds, causing obstacles in traffic control. This is one of the very important principles of driving on rainy and stormy days, but is often overlooked by people.
Always turn on your headlights and keep a steady speed. Be proactive in turning on your headlights when driving on a rainy or stormy day to see the road ahead and signal to oncoming vehicles. Do not turn on your headlights when there is an oncoming vehicle as it will be dangerous for both of you while driving and you should not go fast. High speeds cause the wind to blow more forcefully and you will not have time to adjust the steering wheel in an emergency.
Avoid entering flooded areas, going over the roadside, locations between tall buildings (especially at intersections), under large trees, construction sites and driving close to large trucks...
Do not use electrical equipment that does not meet safety standards and conditions; do not use bare wires as electrical wires in the house.
In case of electrical problem, immediately cut off the power, avoid letting the wire touch the floor or flooded area.
Check the wiring system and electrical equipment in the house, avoid leaks and moisture in places with electricity. Reinforce the roof, house, trim tall trees near the house to prevent wind and tornadoes from knocking them down.
Every time people leave the house, they must turn off all electrical devices or, best of all, turn off the main circuit breaker. If there is an electrical device in the house that is forgotten to be turned off, it will operate for a long time and generate heat and cause a fire...
