In recent months, the northern hemisphere has entered the rainy season. The Middle East has experienced the heaviest rainstorm in 75 years, and China's southern provinces are facing the challenge of heavy rain one after another. What causes this phenomenon? How do we protect ourselves in extreme climates? How to change the damage caused by waterlogging and flooding caused by heavy rains to people's lives and property?

Guoxing takes you to find the answer in the article~

Frequent heavy rains during the Northern Hemisphere's rainy season are often caused by the interaction of several factors

Impact of tropical cyclones and monsoons: In the northern hemisphere, tropical cyclones (such as typhoons, hurricanes, etc.) often form in summer. They bring a large amount of moisture and heat, leading to frequent heavy rains. The monsoon is also one of the major climate phenomena in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, bringing moist air from the ocean to inland areas during the summer, causing a season of heavy rains.

Climate change impacts: Climate change is leading to rising temperatures and an increase in extreme weather events, including more frequent heavy rains. Climate change may cause changes in precipitation patterns, increasing the likelihood of heavy rainfall.

Terrain Effect: Terrain also plays an important role in heavy rain season. Mountains and highlands often induce rising air currents that form clouds and precipitation. This topographic effect is common in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere.

Seasonal climate change: Summer is typically the rainy season in the Northern Hemisphere, as temperatures rise and moist air rises faster, causing more convection and precipitation.

The combined effect of these factors results in frequent heavy rains during the northern hemisphere's rainy season.

During regional heavy rains, disasters such as local flash floods, landslides, and debris flows are prone to occur, and the risks are relatively high. If there are heavy rains and floods, how should ordinary citizens help themselves and each other?

In case of heavy rain or waterlogging

At home: Close doors and windows to prevent rainwater from entering the house. Once water enters, immediately turn off power, gas and other equipment.

Outdoors: Do not use underground passages, avoid manhole covers, pay attention to electrical facilities on the street, and stay away from fallen power lines.

When driving: Turn on the rain and fog lights and avoid waterlogged areas and landslides.

In mountainous areas: Do not travel into mountainous areas during heavy rain. Once you find that the water flow is turbulent and turbid, it may be a precursor to a flash flood and you should evacuate immediately.

After receiving a flood warning: prepare food, clothing, drinking water and necessary medical supplies in advance. If you need to move safely, turn off the gas valve, main power switch, and close the door before leaving home.

When there is no time to move: quickly find floating materials such as door panels, tables, chairs, and beds and form an escape raft to escape. Guoxing Intelligent reminds you： Do not climb telephone poles, iron towers and other objects, stay away from electrical facilities, and beware of electric shock. If you are caught in a flood, be sure to grab something fixed and buoyant if possible.

How to tell if there is electricity in standing water?

◆ The safest way is to avoid standing water.

◆ If you must wade through water, you must check the surrounding situation clearly to see if there are branches falling down on the lines, broken wires falling to the ground, live equipment soaked in water, poles leaning or falling to the ground, etc.

◆ If you feel numb in the water or have other suspected signs of electric shock, you can jump out of the water area by jumping on one foot. Remember, when hopping, you must make sure that one foot neither touches the ground nor the water.

◆ If you find someone getting an electric shock, you should first call the police and call the power supply service hotline, so that the power supply party can cut off the power in time. If you want to help others, the rescuer must stand on dry ground, hold a dry wooden stick or other non-conductive object to separate the live wires, and move the injured person away.

◆ For residents who have experienced floods and power outages, there may be safety hazards such as insulation damage in the wires at home. Before entering a flooded house, you must confirm that the main power supply to the home has been disconnected. Before powering on again, the indoor wiring must be carefully checked. If there is any failure or damage, professionals must be invited to inspect and repair it.

During the rainstorm season, take precautions before they happen and take precautions in advance.

7 rescue "artifacts" can be kept at hand

1. Flashlight

Light source positioning can be used to facilitate rescue.

2. Whistle

If you are too exhausted to call for help loudly or the surrounding environment is noisy, you can make a sharp sound to call for help.

3. Lifesaving hammer

When a vehicle is trapped in water, it can break the glass and escape quickly.

4. Seat belt cutter

When in danger in the car, if you are entangled by the seat belt, you can quickly cut the seat belt to escape.

5. Multifunctional tool pliers

In outdoor hiking situations, it can be used to break down small obstacles, reinforce, dig, etc.

6. Mobile phone waterproof bag

It can ensure that the mobile phone does not enter water and maintain contact with rescuers.

7. Medical first aid kit

When skin abrasions, falls, sprains or skin infections occur, it can be used for simple disinfection and bandaging.

How to protect yourself after a disaster ？And prevent the spread of disease

After a flood, due to the pollution of the living environment, large-scale migration of rodents and other animals, and the gathering of disaster-stricken people, diseases such as intestinal infectious diseases, natural foci infectious diseases, respiratory infectious diseases, and skin diseases may occur.

The 3-5 days after the flood recedes is a critical period for post-disaster disease prevention. During this period, you must be "hygienic."

● Do not drink raw water, only drink boiled water or bottled water or bottled water that meets hygienic standards. Containers used to hold water at home should be cleaned daily.

● Do not eat food that has been flooded or contaminated for other reasons. Store raw and cooked food separately and cook the food thoroughly.

● Cooking utensils and tableware are mainly heated and sterilized.

● Be sure to wash your hands before eating, and do not touch your eyes and nose with dirty hands.

● After the flood recedes, clothes and bedding that have been soaked by water or damp should be washed promptly. It is best to expose them to the sun. The living environment should be cleaned and disinfected, and indoor ventilation should be strengthened.

Climate change causes heavy rains, which is an unavoidable problem for the earth. So how to ensure safety when responding to environmental crises and solve urban waterlogging problems through intelligent firefighting equipment-waterlogging robots?

This can be explained through the following five points:

1. Establishment of early warning system: Establish an effective early warning system to provide early warning of possible heavy rains and waterlogging through meteorological data, water level monitoring and other means. This could give city residents enough time to take necessary safety measures, such as evacuating or taking waterproofing measures.
2. Improvement of urban drainage systems: Strengthen the construction and improvement of urban drainage systems, including cleaning drainage pipes, dredging rainwater collection pools, and building more efficient drainage facilities. This can help reduce the accumulation of water during heavy rains, reducing the risk of waterlogging.
3. Use drainage robots for drainage: Develop and apply drainage robot technology. These robots can automatically inspect and clean drainage pipes during heavy rains, clear blocked areas in a timely manner, and improve drainage efficiency. They can perform targeted drainage operations where needed based on real-time data and manual instructions.
4. Establish a disaster management emergency mechanism: Establish a complete urban disaster management emergency mechanism, including plan formulation, personnel training, material reserves, etc. When heavy rains and waterlogging occur, emergency mechanisms can be quickly activated and relevant departments and forces can be organized to carry out rescue and drainage work to minimize losses and dangers.
5. Improvement of public awareness: Strengthen the cultivation of disaster prevention awareness and response capabilities of urban residents, and improve the public's awareness and response capabilities to heavy rains and waterlogging through publicity, education, drills, etc. This includes the dissemination of safety knowledge on how to properly use drainage facilities, avoid driving and walking into waterlogged areas, and reduce the possibility of accidents and casualties.

Through the comprehensive implementation of the above measures, the safety of the city in heavy rain weather can be effectively ensured, and technical means such as drainage robots can be used to solve the waterlogging problem and improve the city's disaster resistance and quality of life.
