The impact is what worries me, and it forced me to cancel appointments that I didn’t have in the first place{:3_51:} 2) What measures can be taken to prepare for typhoons and minimize losses? ； I write about it every time a typhoon comes; I can’t remember exactly, but I do recall that staying indoors is a measure to protect one’s safety… 3) What measures can be taken to reduce people’s fear of typhoons? There doesn’t seem to be any way to do this… However, last year someone on the weather website tracked the typhoon; if everyone were interested in doing such things, then no one would feel panicked.

It’s not good to just copy this way and participate, you know? ---------------------------------------- 1) What damages has the typhoon caused you?； Work stoppages, road closures, power outages. 2) What measures can be taken to prepare for typhoons and minimize losses? ； Typhoon prevention plans: reinforce temporary structures, raise road levels, monitor the typhoon’s path through the internet, and stay indoors. 3) What measures can be taken to reduce people’s fear of typhoons? As long as the typhoon prevention measures are in place, that’s fine

Mm-hmm, I like to check the typhoon’s path; combined with news photos, it gives a sense of being there in person. By the way, Mr. Yu, was traffic and power supply really affected by the typhoon where you are? That’s not scientific!

In South China, typhoons are particularly problematic when two typhoons occur simultaneously and don’t move away. The Central Meteorological Agency’s website provides forecasts regarding typhoon trends; generally, more typhoons hit South China in the first half of the year, while after July in the second half of the year, they tend to affect East China more often. Zhejiang and northern Fujian are the preferred locations for typhoons to make landfall

Should Sichuan be considered part of the Southwest region? Is it the heavy rain that has an impact?

I’m not working in Sichuan; I’m in Zhejiang these days

Typhoons cause significant damage to outdoor canopies, which generally require reinforcement； The instrument and cable trays on the conduit trunking pose a challenge; there have been instances where these trays were blown over and cables were torn apart ； Those factors that have a significant impact on the discharge of rainwater from the factory site include the 24/7 supervision by the water treatment department during typhoon prevention efforts ； The doors, windows, and fixtures on high levels of buildings can all be blown off or damaged, and such incidents have indeed occurred; during typhoon warnings, all doors and windows must be closed and locked.

Regions such as Jiangsu and Shandong, although located near the coast, are actually not greatly affected by typhoons. Often, after a typhoon warning is issued, **, businesses, and ordinary people rush to make emergency preparations; by the time the typhoon actually arrives, its wind strength has diminished significantly or it has changed direction and moved away. I used to work in Maoming, Guangdong for a while, and was affected by typhoons several times a year. 1) The typhoon has caused the following losses: business closures, school suspensions, damage to some temporary facilities, power outages in certain areas, and even accidents involving people. 2) In the face of typhoons, what measures can be taken to prepare for and defend against them and minimize losses: temporarily reinforce facilities, and reduce or avoid going outside by people and vehicles. 3) What measures can be taken to reduce people’s fear of typhoons: As long as one is not outdoors or in dangerous areas, there is generally no need for fear. It does feel a bit exciting.

Upon hearing the typhoon forecast, I packed my things and fled to a faraway place.

Due to the characteristics of atmospheric circulation during summer, extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, heavy rains, and strong winds often occur. These emergency measures are formulated to prevent accidents such as injuries to people, fires, and property damage caused by typhoons, heavy rain, and strong winds. I. Inspection items before extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and heavy rains occur. Given the many uncertainties associated with typhoons before and during their landfall, factories are required to make preparations 12 hours in advance of a typhoon’s arrival. Serial Number Inspection Item Key Points for Inspection 1: Is the drainage system within the factory area unobstructed? No clutter? □ Road drain □ Well □ Roof drain □ Rainwater tanks, drainage pumps, etc. Is the public drainage system outside Plant 2 in good working order? No clutter? □ Drainage gate or valve □ Nearby stream/drainage ditch 3 □ Sandbags are ready. Are the doors and windows closed? □ No hazardous materials are stored on the floor inside the warehouse. □ Doors and windows are closed and sealed properly. 4 Are there any possibilities of water intrusion in other buildings (factories, warehouses, power distribution rooms, offices, etc.)? □ Sandbags/water barriers are ready □ Doors and windows: Are the temporary cables and wires secured or stored away? Turn off the power? □ Construction site □ Maintenance site: Are there any debris that could fall from the rooftops of buildings (factories, warehouses, power distribution rooms, offices, etc.), on pipe racks, and on the platforms of distillation towers? Prone to falling? □ Planks, tools □ Small packaging containers □ Bricks, stones, and other items. Are there any unsecured or unstable objects within Plant 7? □ Pillar □ Tree □ Used equipment □ Empty barrel. 8 Are tools such as emergency lighting, flashlights, shovels, and raincoats available? □ Storage location □ Quantity 9: Does EHS promptly provide information on typhoons and ensure that on-site inspections are carried out? □ Timely notification □ On-site supervision II. Emergency response measures in the event of extreme weather conditions such as typhoons and heavy rains 1) The on-duty personnel at the site should promptly check the drainage of roads within the factory area as well as that of rainwater collection tanks, to ensure that no water accumulates. 2) In case of strong winds or heavy rain, take shelter in a safe building (such as a factory building). 3) If the wind and rain conditions at the site pose a safety threat to production operations, the site supervisor may, after consulting the production manager, decide to shut down operations temporarily. Parking must be carried out in accordance with the emergency traffic operation procedures. 4) In case of an emergency, immediately report to the on-site supervisor and the plant’s duty manager. At the same time, the shift supervisor reports to the relevant company leaders. 5) On the way to and from work, take cover in a nearby safe area in a timely manner.
