01 How to deal with thunderstorms

02 How to deal with hail

First of all, you should pay attention to weather information. When the meteorological station issues a hail warning, you should try to avoid traveling to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Secondly, if you are outdoors and encounter hail, you should immediately hide in a safe room. In windy weather, stay away from high-altitude work facilities, factory sheds, billboards, dilapidated houses and large trees. In thunderstorms, stay away from tall objects such as iron towers, chimneys, and electric poles, and do not hide under large trees or isolated sheds and cabins to avoid the rain.

When hail is likely to occur, avoid parking your vehicle under trees. It is recommended to park your vehicle indoors or in underground parking lots, and avoid areas near windows. If you can only park outdoors, consider purchasing a professional vehicle hail protection cover, or prepare a thicker blanket or quilt, install it on the vehicle, and cover it when parking. Pay special attention to protecting vulnerable parts such as the windshield to reduce the risk of the vehicle being damaged.

03 How to deal with high temperatures

When a yellow high temperature warning is issued, relevant departments and units should make preparations for heatstroke prevention and cooling in accordance with their duties, minimize outdoor activities in the afternoon, and provide heatstroke prevention and cooling guidance for the elderly, weak, sick, and young people; people working under high temperature conditions and those who need to work outdoors for a long time during the day should take necessary protective measures.

When an orange high temperature warning is issued, outdoor activities should be avoided as much as possible during high temperature periods, and people working under high temperature conditions should shorten their continuous working hours; necessary protective measures should be taken for the elderly, weak, sick and young people; and attention should be paid to prevent fires caused by excessive power consumption and excessive power loads such as wires and transformers.

When a red high temperature alert is issued, outdoor work should be stopped as much as possible; protective measures should be taken for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the young, and special attention should be paid to fire safety.
