Must know! Beijing Firefighting Releases Safety Measures in Flood Season

Since late June , the average precipitation in Beijing has been more than normal, and the flood season has advanced. The local rainfall is extremely strong. Beijing is located in the North China Plain, with high altitudes in the northwest and southeast, and special terrain and climate characteristics can easily cause local extreme rainfall. Under the weather, it caused floods and mudslides and flooding in cities. Rainfall is often accompanied by strong winds, lightning, and hail, which cause secondary disasters such as falling objects, tree branches, and lightning strikes, which greatly threaten urban operations and personal safety. According to a CCTV news report, “the largest vortex torrential rain in six years will soon be coming to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.” From the night of the 21st to the 24th , there will be a major round of water in the capital. The current latest forecast is that there will be a midday arrival on the 22nd . Heavy rain changed from moderate rain to heavy rain on the 23rd to moderate rain and light rain on the 24th . Therefore, every citizen must fully understand the main risks in the flood season and strengthen prevention.

Pay close attention to weather forecasts and early warning information

1. The city's public opinion warning includes rainstorm warnings, address disaster weather warning and flood warning. From low to high, four levels of “blue, yellow, orange, and red” warning levels are used. When releasing yellow or higher levels of early warning or heavy rain, it is recommended to adjust the travel plan to minimize travel, especially if it is not rainy and enter the mountains and valleys. Before the rainstorm, go out of the mountain as soon as possible or avoid the safe areas to avoid entering the mountains and rivers. In the hazardous areas such as flood discharge areas, flood storage and detention areas, goaf areas and low-lying areas, first of all do not enter dangerous areas, and prevent accidents from the source.

2. If you live in a dilapidated cottage, a low-lying courtyard, a basement, a piedmont plain, or an address-prone area, you may choose to take precautions such as building walls, gates to prevent baffles, small pumps, and sandbags. Prepare for prevention in advance. The early warning signals, transfer routes and safe havens are well known in advance. When there is a danger, they must heed the transfer arrangements of relevant departments and evacuate them in a timely and orderly manner. If the danger is not touched, do not return to the original dangerous place of residence.

3 , try not to travel on a rainy day, if you have to travel, please understand the road conditions information, bypass the water road section in advance and prone to mountain and mudslides. When roads have accumulated water, motorists are not allowed to stay in low-lying areas such as Qiaodong, Shankou, and railway bridges. Vehicles driving on stagnant water roads must obey the traffic police for guidance and must not forcefully blindly pass in order to prevent vehicles from being turned off in the water. The water is in danger. Cyclists should get off the train and pay attention to observing and avoiding places where water whirlpools are flowing to prevent them from falling into boreholes and pits. When road water causes traffic jams, emergency rescue lanes should be given out and active rescue vehicles should be avoided.

Social organizations should make preventive measures in advance

Residential buildings, schools, hospitals, construction sites, enterprises and institutions, supervised sites, dangerous goods warehouses, tourist scenic spots, station wharves, and other key locations and key areas shall further strengthen various safety precautions to prevent various types of accidents from occurring due to public opinion. Health disasters. Tourist attractions should stop related entertainment projects, quickly work with relevant departments to do a good job of evacuation and transfer of dangerous goods such as the masses, tourists, and important materials, explosives and other highly toxic materials, minimizing casualties and property losses. In view of the possibility of water cuts and blackouts in some areas, prevention of public security accidents such as preventing fires, preventing gas poisoning, and preventing collapse of houses should be done.

The city’s public security and fire-fighting forces have entered combat readiness, based on the idea of ​​“grabbing big risks and rescuing large disasters” and action preparations, strengthening the organization and leadership of emergency rescue work, refining plans for contingency plans, strengthening special training and practical drills, and improving water search. , wading rescue and other professional and technical levels, and specifically increased the supply of relief supplies, personal protective equipment.

Doing rain prevention in special fire prevention

Many people know that it is easy to catch fire when it is dry and windy. Can that damp weather mean numbness? In fact, this is not the case. With the arrival of heavy rainfall, it is effective in preventing fires in the waste, waste, and wilderness forests. However, heavy rain does not mean that there is no fire, and the building interior does not pay attention to the use of fire. With electricity and gas, the risk of fire still exists. In particular, due to the humid climate, the electrical wiring is not tightly connected, or the electrical “return” suddenly turns on the current, etc., which are easy to cause fire. In addition, in this kind of weather, the citizens must also pay attention to lightning protection and lightning protection. The lightning strikes on the wires are easy to short-circuit.

High-humidity environment caused by rainfall, such as false connection of electrical lines or loosening of latches, is easy to generate an arc (commonly known as electric ignition). After testing, an arc capacity of 0.5 A is sufficient to ignite flammable materials, and the temperature of arc generated by 2 A current exceeds At 2000 degrees Celsius , arcs generally cause the insulation to burn first, which in turn ignites the appliance itself or the surrounding combustibles, causing a fire accident. Therefore, in continuous rainy weather, the unit should ask a professional electrician to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the internal electrical lines. In particular, the electric wires must be checked carefully. The unit and the public must insert the electric plug in the process of using electric appliances. Tight, that will give arc production conditions. In addition, we must put an end to human factors such as over-consumption of electricity, unauthorized use of wires, and management factors that cause fire accidents.

Stop climbing and other outdoor activities away from dangerous areas

Once the heavy rainfall is frequent and the rainfall is relatively large, combined with the topography and landform features of mountainous areas and semi-mountainous areas, there is an increased possibility of landslides and mudslides occurring in the suburbs. After heavy rainfall, most of the weathered rocks are easy to loosen. At this time, the mountaineering itself is muddy and easily causes secondary disasters such as landslides, which can easily result in casualties and trapping. It is recommended that the general public not to engage in outdoor activities such as mountaineering during periods of heavy rainfall, so as to avoid being caught up in the mountains due to unexpected events such as landslides. Do not get involved in high-risk areas. It is strictly forbidden to explore untapped cliffs, caves, and crevices. The terrain is complex and sparsely populated. Once an accident occurs, it is difficult to rescue.

Even when climbing in good weather, always pay attention to safety and avoid getting lost. Before climbing, you must plan your climbing route, understand the road conditions in the mountains, and tell your relatives and friends about time, place, and route. Carry maps, compasses, mobile phones, torches, ropes, food, medicines, raincoats, knives, and other items. When choosing a mountainous area, you must choose a formal area. Do not enter the mountain without guidance. Must not seek to stimulate, venture to choose and enter unopened or untapped mountain areas, because these areas have complex terrain, there is no basic tourist facilities and there are blind spots for communication signals, and personal safety cannot be guaranteed. The color of clothes should be bright, in case of getting lost trapped, easy search and rescue personnel to find, and try to mount the mountains lightly, with less unnecessary debris to reduce the load. Once you get lost or trapped, you should stay calm and do not panic. If the mobile phone has a signal, it should immediately call the police or contact the local authorities to request assistance. If you have contact with the rescue team, you should wait for the rescue in the place where there are obvious signs or not. Do not feel lucky to go blind and try another way.
