A rainy day can do more than just influence your mood, it can also turn the streets and your home into a mess. When it is raining, there are things you can do to protect you from water damage (损坏) caused by heavy rain.

At home and outside ◆ When you are at home, keep windows and doors closed. If the rain water enters the room, cut off the power supply (供应) to stop the rain water from electrifying and hurting people. ◆ If you are outside, do not stay under trees or large billboards close to power supply lines. And remember, you can’t touch anything metal or electrical. In thunderstorm weather, it is better not to answer and dial mobile phones outdoors. The mobile phones can also cause thunder and hurt people.

When walking or driving on rainy days ◆Try to choose the main road and ring road. Reduce the speed gradually from high speed to low speed. When there is too much rain water, slow down your car and drive more slowly. ◆ In areas with strong rain, when driving out, you should pay attention to the information of waterlogged (积水的) road section and traffic control, and plan the travel route in advance. ◆Because of the heavy rain, roads and parking area may be full of water, electric vehicles (交通工具) are left in the rain water. The line is very easy to short circuit (短路) in the charging process (在充电过程中). We must do something right away. ◆ If the vehicle stalls (熄火) in driving, get off the vehicle and wait for rescue. Never stay in the car all the time.
