　　How to prevent accidents in heavy rain?

　　Summer is the season of high rainstorm. How to deal with the rainstorm? On the 12th, the official WeChat of the Emergency Management Department released a "Summer Rainstorm Survival Guide".

　　The Guide reminds people that when there is heavy rain in their area, the best choice is to stay at home. If you live in a low-lying area or your house is old, you must move to a high and safe place.

　　If you have to go out as a last resort, you should avoid iron towers, telephone poles and billboards. If there is deep water on the road, it is best for pedestrians to take a stick to explore the road ahead to avoid falling into the sewer. Don’t get close to the high-voltage wire tower if it is tilted or the wire is broken and drooping, so as to prevent electric shock.

　　In addition, buses are safer than private cars when going out in heavy rain. If you need to drive, you must avoid underpasses and muddy low-lying areas during driving. Generally, the depth of accumulated water is 10-20CM, which is safe, but if the depth of accumulated water exceeds 20CM, don’t venture through.

　　If the car stalls halfway through driving, don’t start it again. Before the water overflows the door, stall and close the door and leave the car. In case of being flooded, you can successfully get out of danger by breaking the side window with a safety hammer.
