Attention!!! What Should We Do in a Hurricane and Storm!!!
What to do in a Hurricane and a Storm: an algorithm of actions, tips and tricks.
The Ministry of Emergencies provides information on the threat of bad weather in SMS, television and radio, and local print media. The civil defense and emergencies headquarters will tell you what to do in a hurricane. Emergency personnel will report the estimated duration and severity of the storm, as well as make recommendations on the use of shelters and possible evacuation. Then you need to take personal protective measures
1 – Tightly close windows, doors, vents, roof openings on the windward side. If possible, protect the glass with shutters or shields, stick it on. To equalize the pressure, you need to open the doors and windows and fix them in this position.
2 – Prepare food and drinking water, medicines, a flashlight with a battery (or a battery + a charged spare battery), candles and matches, a camp stove, batteries, documents and money.
3 – Remove from balconies, porches and window sills, from the courtyard and from the roof anything that can be collected by the draft, remove the glass from the windows.
4 – Prepare for a possible power outage, charge external batteries and all necessary devices. Turn off the gas taps, put out the fire in the stoves.
5 – Turn on the radio and television. The Ministry of Emergencies conveys important information to the public through these channels.
If necessary and possible, move from lightweight structures to more durable civil defense bunkers.
During the Hurricane and Storm if you’re in a room
Hurricanes, storms, and tornadoes rarely occur in some areas. Everyone needs to know what to do in this situation, because the weather is unpredictable. Special services are advised to wait in the basement of the hurricane or in a pre-prepared shelter. You should choose the safest place in the building – in the corridors on the ground floor or in the middle. Window glass shards can seriously injure, so you should stand at the wall, protect yourself with mattresses, hide in a walk-in closet, stay close to the wall.
First you need to turn off the gas, turn off electronic devices (if necessary, leave the TV or radio to learn about the evacuation or procedure), close interior doors, windows and vents. The windows are closed diagonally with the structure or ordinary adhesive tape. You shouldn’t go out. Use a flashlight, candle or kerosene lamp at night. Stay inside until the hurricane is declared over.
If you get caught in a hurricane or storm on the street
If you are outside in a strong wind, what should you do during a hurricane? It is necessary to move away from light buildings, billboards, signs, stops, pavilions, lanterns. The Ministry of Emergencies advises you to stay away from bridges, warehouses, overpasses and trees. A person can take a branch, a torn slate, a branch, a road sign. You need to find a plywood sheet or cardboard box and use it to protect it from the wind. You can take cover at subway stations or solid buildings. In extreme cases, a ditch, pit or ditch will do.
In a Storm and Hurricane If you are in an open area
What should you do if you find a tornado in an open area? First you need to turn off the phone and all electronic devices. It’s not a good idea to hide under isolated tall trees. Instead, it is better to choose any suitable natural shelter – a ditch, a hollow, a ravine. You can’t swim, bike or ride a motorcycle – lightning can get into metal structures.
