How to protect yourself when a typhoon comes

1. Keep your car away from trees and buildings. Please put your car in a place with high ground and no water accumulation, away from trees and buildings where objects may fall, especially not in the basement. After a typhoon, insurance companies and repair shops are often crowded.

2. Fully charge your phone and pay the full fee. It is common for typhoons to cut off water and electricity, and it is unknown how long the outage will last. Charge your phone, computer, and power bank (it is recommended that during the power outage, turn on the power saving mode of your phone, turn off the background if possible, and don't listen to music, so as to extend the standby time as much as possible). Don't repeat the mistakes of Haikou people who searched the streets for charging places during the Weimar storm.

3. Prepare water at home, including drinking water and clean water. It is common for water and power outages to occur during typhoons, and it is unknown how long the outages will last. Prepare as much drinking water and clean water as you can. (It is best to prepare enough for the whole family to use for 2-3 days).

4. All clothes and sundries should be packed and put into bags to prevent moisture, and kept away from balconies and windows. All things on the balcony should be put in (unless they are definitely not needed). Do not put potted plants on the windowsill, as it would be bad if they were blown off and hit passers-by or cars.

5. When a typhoon comes, turn off all household appliances, unplug all power supplies, and turn off water pipes. Regardless of whether there is a power outage, please remember to turn off all electrical appliances and unplug them. If there is no power outage, do not turn on the TV to watch it, as it is dangerous to the TV and you. Find something that does not require electricity for entertainment.

What should you do outdoors when a typhoon strikes?

Outdoors, if a typhoon is coming, we should first find a large windshield. If there is no windshield, we will be easily blown away by the typhoon. Secondly, we should open our eyes and find some buildings that are strong enough to withstand the typhoon and move to the building as soon as possible. In addition, we should listen to the advice of some rescue workers who are commanding outdoors and follow their arrangements to move us to some safer shelters, such as some air-raid shelters or some emergency shelters. In this emergency, we should not come with our own temper. Don't think that this building is safe and hide in it, because our judgment is definitely inaccurate. There is no professional rescuer whose judgment is accurate, so we must listen to their arrangements. Outdoors, first of all, we should protect our heads from being hit by some sudden flying objects. Our heads are the most important, and the second is to avoid this typhoon as soon as possible and find a shelter to protect ourselves.
