Typhoon Dusurui is coming! What are the hazards? How to prevent it? Let's learn together

Typhoon Dusurui, the fifth typhoon this year, has strengthened into a super typhoon on the evening of July 24 and is expected to make landfall (strong typhoon or super typhoon level) in the morning or morning of the 28th, with the greatest possibility of landing in the coastal area from Jinjiang, Fujian to the border between Fujian and Guangdong.

The Ministry of Water Resources held rolling consultations and deployments for the rainstorm and flood prevention work caused by Typhoon No. 5 "Dusurui", requiring that high attention be paid, prevention measures be implemented in advance, and prevention work be done strictly, practically and meticulously.

What harm does a typhoon do?

How to prevent it?

Let’s learn together~

1.How many levels are there for typhoon warning signals?

According to the impact time and intensity of typhoon strong winds, typhoon warning signals can be divided into four levels: blue, yellow, orange and red.

2.What damage can typhoons cause?

3. What preparations do you need to make?

Pay attention to the typhoon warning information issued by the meteorological department to learn about the latest typhoon impacts.

Stock up on necessary daily necessities, such as flashlights, candles, drinking water, food, medicine, etc.

Fishing vessels out at sea should return to port as soon as possible or seek shelter in the nearest port and take measures to prevent collisions between fishing vessels.

Outdoor group activities or large indoor gatherings should be canceled in a timely manner, and kindergartens and schools should take temporary evacuation measures and suspend classes if necessary.

4. How do we prevent typhoons?

Listen to, watch or check typhoon warning information online in a timely manner to learn about the government’s typhoon prevention measures.

If the building you are in has poor wind and rain resistance, you should move in time.

Try to avoid going out during typhoon weather and be careful of falling objects from high places.

Clear items from the balcony, put away clothes, close doors and windows, and secure structures that are easily blown by the wind.

Prepare daily necessities and stock up on food in advance.

Check whether household circuits, stoves, gas and other facilities are safe; when typhoons and rainstorms are severe, the power supply should be turned off in time.

When encountering a typhoon in the wild, be careful of landslides and fallen trees, and seek shelter as quickly as possible. People in low-lying areas that may be flooded should be evacuated in time.

If you find a high-voltage tower collapsed, or electric wires hanging low or broken, do not approach, and certainly do not touch them with your hands, as this can easily result in an electric shock accident.

If a disaster occurs and people are in distress, you should call 119 and 120 in time to seek help and move to the emergency shelter area to wait for rescue.

5. How should the water conservancy department respond?

Strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning

Strictly implement the 24-hour duty and leadership shift system during the flood season, pay close attention to the typhoon's movement path, intensity development, impact range, rainfall changes, etc., strengthen joint consultation and analysis and judgment with meteorological and other departments, make rolling forecasts, and issue timely warnings. Flood control responsible persons at all levels of water conservancy systems should take up their posts in a timely manner and perform their duties conscientiously.

Strictly prevent mountain torrents in small watersheds

Water conservancy departments in areas where heavy rainfall is forecast to occur must remain highly vigilant, give full play to the role of flash flood disaster monitoring and early warning platforms and mass monitoring and prevention systems, issue flash flood warnings in a timely manner, urge and guide local governments to organize the transfer of personnel to evacuate risks, and transfer as many people as possible and as early as possible to ensure safety.

Encryption engineering inspection

Affected by the heavy rainfall caused by the typhoon, the risk of safe operation of water projects has increased. It is necessary to organize patrols and inspections of dikes to identify problems and deal with them in a timely manner.

Scientifically dispatch water projects

Strengthen consultation with meteorological departments. Based on rainfall forecasts, large and medium-sized reservoirs in potentially affected areas should release water in advance to free up storage capacity as much as possible, while ensuring the safety of downstream areas. The reservoirs should give full play to their flood control, peak-cutting and peak-shifting functions to reduce the pressure on river flood control. After the impact of typhoon rainfall is basically over, reservoirs should follow the control and operation plan, and, while ensuring the safety of downstream river flooding, use measures such as power generation and floodgate opening to release water to reduce the water level to below the flood limit as soon as possible.

Timely organization of repairing water-damaged projects

Organize a comprehensive investigation of the damage to water conservancy projects in a timely manner, formulate a scientific repair plan according to the importance of the project, speed up the repair, and restore the flood control function of the project as soon as possible. If it cannot be repaired for the time being, take effective measures to ensure the safety of the flood season. If the agricultural drinking water project is damaged, repair it as soon as possible to ensure the safety of drinking water.

Strengthen flood prevention information reporting

Major flood situations, dangerous situations and damage to water conservancy projects must be reported to the local government and flood control headquarters in a timely manner, and at the same time reported to the higher-level water administration department.
