Prepare Yourself For Any Emergency Situation.
Meeting a terrible hurricane.
Do you know anything about such a disaster as a hurricane? This wind has got a speed exceeding 120 km / h that is moving across the planet. As usual forecasters assign it with a name. In such a way it’s much easier to work with it. A few years ago only women’s names could be mentioned. But after many protests carried out by women’s organizations, this discrimination was abolished.
The hurricane is one of the monsters of our planet’s atmosphere. It’s destructive power can be compared with the earthquake. It goes without saying that you need to take personal measures of self-defense in this case.
On the windward side of the building you are to shut windows, doors, attic hatches and vents. But on the opposite side of the building you’d better open windows to equalize the internal and external pressure inside the building.
Prepare an autonomous supply of water and food, medicines, take a lantern, kerosene lamp, candle, documents and money. Close the gas taps but leave the radio and television because you can get some important new information.
Children in kindergartens and schools have to go home, all activities are to be canceled. If a storm warning has come too late, children are placed in basements or central part of the buildings.
It is best to wait out the hurricane in the shelter or even in the basement. If you can’t have such an opportunity and you have to meet the disaster in the building, you need to select the safest place in the middle of the house, in the hallways on the first floor. Flying debris can injure windows, so you should stand up against the wall, very close to the wall. You can also hide in the wardrobe. It’s also possible to protect with the help of mattresses.
If during a hurricane or storm, you are in the street, you need to stay as far from buildings as possible. You’d better hide in somewhere in a ditch. Try to cling to the ground as much as you can. This will save you. Otherwise you’ll be hit by flying fragments of tile, slate, glass and various other objects. Of course, if you can find a refuge in the nearest building or basement, you have to do it as quickly as possible.
Large structures such as bridges, overpasses, pipelines should be avoided at whatever cost. It must be kept in mind that man – made disasters and fires can be considered to be the usual result of severe natural disasters, so it’s better to stay away from the chemical and oil refineries, various high – risk facilities and transmission lines. When the wind has ceased blowing do not immediately go out for a few minutes, because a barrage could be repeated.
