What to do when encountering heavy rain during daily travel?
It is recommended to pay attention to road condition information and avoid waterlogged and congested areas.
Pedestrians should not walk on waterlogged roads during rain, observe carefully, pay attention to flood control safety warning signs, stay close to buildings, avoid areas with whirlpools, and prevent falling into dangerous areas such as uncovered manholes or pits.
While walking, try to avoid objects that may conduct electricity, such as light poles, utility poles, transformers, power lines, railings, and nearby trees, to prevent electric shock due to leakage caused by heavy rain; if you find fallen wires in water, detour and report to relevant authorities immediately.
When encountering heavy rain, it is best to find shelter; tall buildings in urban areas are the safest. Evacuate to the building and move to higher floors for safety. If there are no tall buildings nearby, do not stay in low-lying areas such as underpasses, overpasses, or underground passages.
What to do if encountering a mountain flood while traveling in mountainous areas?
When in mountainous areas, observe the terrain and water flow, pay attention to mountain flood risk signs and safe evacuation routes, and leave the danger zone as soon as possible.
Stay calm, quickly assess the surroundings, and leave low-lying areas immediately. Seek higher ground and choose a safe location to take shelter.
Stay with other trapped travelers, follow instructions from authorities, and avoid acting alone.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to cross a river.
When a flood is coming, immediately follow warning information or run to higher slopes on both sides of the gully; never run along the gully.
Evacuate quickly and do not delay for belongings, as it may jeopardize the best time for evacuation.
If evacuation is not possible, find a relatively safe spot to wait for rescue and continuously send out distress signals.
If communication is available, try to contact rescue departments such as fire services or police, dial 110, 119, or 120 for help, report your location and situation, and actively seek assistance.
