CCTV***(Reporter Du Anqi ** Yang Yifei Editor Kan Chunyu): According to the ** Meteorological Observatory, this week the central and eastern parts of China are experiencing a wave of large-scale rain, snow and freezing weather, and many places are in the middle and high risk of heavy snowfall and low temperature disasters.
When the Spring Festival meets rain, snow and freezing weather, how to go home safer?
Xu Xiaofeng, president of the China Meteorological Service Association, analyzed: "Compared with previous years, this rain, snow and freezing weather has a high intensity, long duration and wide impact. From the north to the south, including the entire Yangtze River basin, there is rain, snow and freezing weather, which is rare. Recently, it is the peak season of the Spring Festival, and in this kind of weather, no matter what type of transportation you take, long-distance travel may be affected. ”
According to the forecast of the ** Meteorological Observatory, heavy snowfall, localized heavy snowfall or extremely heavy snowfall will occur in many areas in Northeast China (Jilin and eastern Liaoning), the Yellow River Basin (such as central and southern Shaanxi, southern Hebei and Henan, Shandong, etc.), and the Yangtze River Basin (central and western Hubei, northern and eastern Chongqing). The impact of snowfall on traffic is very obvious, especially when it coincides with cooling, and it is easy to cause slippery roads and ice accumulation.
Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Guizhou and other places are affected by freezing rain. The typical characteristic of freezing rain is that it rains when it is in the air, but when it falls to the ground, it turns into ice, which can easily cause freezing of roads, power lines, trees, etc., and may affect transportation, communications, and power supply.
In addition, sleet occurs at the junction of rain and snow, "It starts with rain, and then suddenly it becomes snowy when it cools down." When driving long distances, the road ahead may become icy due to snowfall, and accidents can easily occur if you are not prepared in advance. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention when hearing the weather forecast that may be rainy and snowy, especially in Henan, Shandong, northern Jiangsu and Anhui, Hubei and other areas where rain and snow will change repeatedly. ”
Xu Xiaofeng also reminded that when there is freezing rain and snow with high water content in southern China, the disaster caused may be greater, and special attention needs to be paid to it. Unlike the snow in the north, the snow in the south has a higher moisture content and is therefore heavier. After a long period of accumulation, the pressure caused by it is relatively large, and it is easy to crush houses, overwhelm power lines or break trees, leading to safety accidents such as power outages.
When traveling in rain, snow and ice, please pay attention to these safety issues!
In order to better cope with the impact of this round of rain, snow and freezing weather, Gao Jianqi, an expert from the Beijing Emergency Management Society, suggested that when traveling in rain, snow and freezing weather, it is necessary to strengthen cold and warm measures and anti-skid measures to ensure safe driving. Before traveling, pay attention to check the weather conditions along the way, do a good job of prevention and make arrangements in advance. When traveling by car, train or plane, walking or cycling, it is also important to be prepared in advance and have the appropriate safety knowledge.
If you are traveling by car, you should pay attention to slow driving and slow braking. During the driving process, the speed of the vehicle should be slow, the accelerator should be stepped on slowly, the braking should be mainly point brake, and the light pedal should be lifted lightly to avoid sharp acceleration or hard braking, so as not to slip the tires. At the same time, try to take rutted routes, and don't try to walk on roads covered with rain and snow and unknown road conditions.
When meeting cars in curves, pay attention not to rush, not to rush, and to drive slowly in an orderly manner. When encountering curves, be sure to slow down in advance. If there is a side slip, you should stabilize the steering wheel, you can gently hit the steering wheel in the direction of the skidding, and then gently press the brakes after the vehicle returns to the center until the whole situation is controlled.
In addition, it is also important to control the lights, when it rains or snows, the driver's vision may be obstructed, be sure to give the car signal lights in advance to ensure that the surrounding vehicles can have enough time to react. When visibility is not high, you should turn on the front and rear fog lights, and you should also pay attention to the signal lights of the front and rear vehicles to maintain a safe distance.
If you are traveling by train or plane, you need to pay attention to check the status of the train or plane in time, and if there is a delay or delay, you must be prepared to transfer. In rainy and snowy weather, you should also try to travel in advance to avoid delaying the trip. In addition, when waiting for the train in crowded places such as stations, pay attention to the safety of the platform and boarding and landing, and pay attention to personal hygiene protection.
If you go out on foot, you need to wear appropriate footwear when traveling, such as waterproof shoes, non-slip shoes, and avoid wearing high heels or slippery shoes. When walking, the amplitude should be small, do not speed or run on slippery roads, always pay attention to the road conditions, and try to hold on to handrails or other fixed objects if possible. Assistive tools such as crutches, canes, etc., can also be used to increase the stability and safety of walking. In addition, do not put your hands in the pockets of your clothes when walking, so as not to be able to react in time when you fall and cause injury.
Xu Xiaofeng also suggested that when traveling in rain, snow and freezing weather, you should pay attention to the weather forecast of the area you pass through, reserve a good time, and avoid delays affecting your travel plans. At the same time, it is necessary to bring enough clothes, food, drinking water, medicines, etc. on the road, especially if you are traveling by car, and be fully prepared for bad weather for a long time considering the possible traffic jams and delays on the road.
Under the influence of complex weather, what other aspects need to be paid attention to?
In addition to the impact on mobility, rain, snow and freezing weather also have an impact on health and safety, agriculture and livestock, electricity and water supply. Gao Jianqi explained that in terms of health and safety, rain and snow may cause temperatures to plummet, feel cold, and easily cause respiratory and bronchial diseases. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, we should strengthen warmth measures, pay attention to increasing the allocation of clothing and warm supplies, and maintain good living habits and dietary hygiene to maintain good health. When outdoor activities, you should pay attention to safety measures such as anti-skid, cold and wind protection to avoid accidents.
In addition, rain and snow can cause problems such as power outages or insufficient water supply. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, you should stock up on some daily necessities, such as food, drinking water and medicines, in case of emergency. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to saving electricity and water to avoid waste.
Rain and snow may also cause frost damage to some crops, and livestock may also be affected by lack of feed and water. Therefore, farmers and herdsmen should take measures to protect themselves from the cold and keep warm in advance, strengthen feeding management and feed reserves, so as to ensure the smooth progress of agricultural and animal husbandry production.
In short, to have a good Spring Festival in complex weather, you need to prepare in advance, pay attention to weather forecasts and safety tips, follow the safety tips and guidelines issued by relevant departments, keep communication open, pay attention to personal safety issues, and maintain an optimistic attitude. I wish you all a happy and safe Chinese New Year.
