How to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters after the flood in Malian River, Qingyang, Henan Province?

In the face of disaster, human beings are very small. Perhaps a flash flood, a mudslide, a mountain fire or a flash of lightning can take countless lives. What we can do is to take preventive and response measures to minimize casualties when disasters come. For example, how to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters in the flood of Malian River in Qingyang, Henan Province? I think what we can do is as follows:

1. Move to a safe area in time.

All areas should have flood prevention warning. In areas with frequent mountain torrents, in case of continuous rainstorm, it is necessary to make preparations in advance, evacuate in advance or be prepared to evacuate at any time. We should seize the best time to evacuate, and don't be confused about priorities and delayed by some external things. When hearing the warning or evacuation notice, immediately follow the organization and retreat in an orderly manner. Those who have no time to evacuate should immediately move to the surrounding hilltops, high-rise buildings and other places with higher terrain.

Don't panic, wait for help.

If you are unfortunately trapped, don't panic, calm down quickly and wait for rescue in the safest and most eye-catching place around you. Don't think you can swim, but you can swim to escape. After all, you have no idea how wide the water is. If you are exhausted, it is easy to sink. Also, there may be bare wires in the water, which may lead to electrocution. In short, only when we ensure our own safety can we start some self-help, otherwise it will be self-defeating. If the temporary shelter is unsafe, use the escape tools prepared in advance, such as lifebuoy, to save yourself. Unfortunately, when you fall into the water, you should catch floating objects around you, such as driftwood and foam, and call for help or wave bright things so that rescuers can find you.

3. After the flood, prevent epidemics.

Even if the flood has subsided, don't take it lightly, because there is still the risk of the spread of the epidemic after the flood. Relevant local departments should do a good job in epidemic prevention in time to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
