Uma udinga ukuphuma ngenxa yomlilo wasendle noma esinye isimo esiphuthumayo esisongela ukuphila, phatha “isikhwama sokuhamba” esilula. Isithombe nge-Oregon Fire Marshal's Office.AP
Uma uphuma ngenxa yomlilo wehlathi noma esinye isimo esiphuthumayo esisongela ukuphila, awukwazi ukuthatha konke uhambe nakho. “Isikhwama sokuphatha” esilula asifani nezinto eziphuthumayo ozigcina ekhaya uma kwenzeka kufanele ucashe endaweni ethile izinsuku ezimbalwa.
Isikhwama sokuhamba sinezinto ezibalulekile ozidingayo - umuthi wokushaja ifoni ephathekayo - futhi ungasithatha nawe uma kudingeka ubaleke ngezinyawo noma usebenzise ezokuthutha zomphakathi.
“Gcina igceke lakho liluhlaza, hlela ukuhamba bese uthatha izinto zakho ezibalulekile eziqoqwe endaweni eyodwa,” kusho okhulumela uMlilo nokuHlengwa ePortland uRob Garrison.
Kunzima ukucabanga kahle uma utshelwa ukuthi uphume. Lokhu kwenza kube kubalulekile ukuba nesikhwama se-duffel, isikhwama sesikhwama noma isikhwama se-duffle esigoqekayo ("isikhwama sokuphatha") esilungele ukuhamba naso uma uphuma ngesango.
Hlanganisa izinto ezibalulekile endaweni eyodwa. Izinto eziningi ezibalulekile kungenzeka ukuthi sezikhona ekhaya lakho, njengemikhiqizo yokuhlanzeka, kodwa uzodinga amakhophi ukuze ukwazi ukuwafinyelela ngokushesha uma kunesimo esiphuthumayo.
Phakamisa ibhulukwe elide likakotini, ihembe noma ijakhethi kakotini enemikhono emide, isivikelo sobuso, izicathulo noma amabhuzu anezithende eziqinile, bese ugqoka izibuko eduze kwesikhwama sakho sokuhamba ngaphambi kokuba uhambe.
Futhi faka isikhwama sokuhamba esincane sesilwane sakho bese ukhomba indawo yokuhlala ezokwamukela izilwane. Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) kufanele lubhale izindawo zokukhosela ezivulekile ngesikhathi senhlekelele endaweni yakini.
Cabanga ngemibala yekhithi yenhlekelele ephathekayo. Abanye bafuna ibe bomvu ukuze kube lula ukuyibona, kanti abanye bathenga isikhwama semali esibukeka silula, i-duffel, noma i-duffle egoqekayo engeke idonsele ukunaka ezintweni ezibalulekile ezingaphakathi. Abanye abantu basusa ama-patches akhomba isikhwama njengekhithi yenhlekelele noma yosizo lokuqala.
Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-NOAA Weather Radar Live lunikeza izithombe ze-radar zesikhathi sangempela kanye nezexwayiso zesimo sezulu esibi.
I-Eton FRX3 American Red Cross Emergency NOAA Weather Radio iza neshaja ye-USB smartphone, ithoshi le-LED, kanye ne-red beacon ($69.99). Isici se-Alerts sisakaza ngokuzenzakalelayo noma yiziphi izexwayiso zesimo sezulu esiphuthumayo endaweni yakini. Shaja umsakazo omncane (ophakeme ngo-6.9″, ububanzi obungu-2.6″) ngamaphaneli elanga, i-hand crank noma ibhethri elishajekayo elakhelwe ngaphakathi.
I-Portable Emergency Radio ($49.98) enemibiko yesimo sezulu ye-NOAA yesikhathi sangempela kanye nolwazi lohlelo lwesaziso esiphuthumayo lomphakathi lungasebenza ngejeneretha yesandla, iphaneli yelanga, ibhethri elishajekayo, noma i-adaptha yamandla odongeni. Hlola eminye imisakazo yesimo sezulu esebenza ngelanga noma ngebhethri.
Nakhu ongakwenza manje ukuze uvimbele umusi ukuthi ungangeni ekhaya lakho futhi ungcolise umoya nefenisha.
Uma kuphephile ukuhlala ekhaya uma kwenzeka umlilo wasendle kude, sebenzisa umthombo wamandla ohlukile ukuvimbela ukugoba kwemigqa yamandla kagesi nokukhubeka ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi ngenxa yomlilo, intuthu, kanye nezinhlayiya.
Faka isivikelo sesimo sezulu eduze kwezikhala bese uhlela ukugcina wena nesilwane sakho ekamelweni elinamafasitela ambalwa kakhulu, okungcono kakhulu ngaphandle kwezitofu, amapayipi omoya, noma ezinye izimbobo ezingaphandle. Faka isihlanzi somoya esiphathwayo noma i-air conditioner ekamelweni uma usidinga.
Ikhithi Yosizo Lokuqala: Isitolo Sosizo Lokuqala Kuphela sinekhithi Yosizo Lokuqala Yomhlaba Wonke ngo-$19.50 enezinto ezingu-299 ezilinganiselwa ku-1 lb. Engeza umhlahlandlela wosizo lokuqala oluphuthumayo lwe-American Red Cross noma ulande uhlelo lokusebenza oluphuthumayo lwe-Red Cross lwamahhala.
I-American Red Cross kanye ne-Ready.gov zifundisa abantu ukuthi bangazilungiselela kanjani izinhlekelele zemvelo nezenziwe ngabantu (kusukela ekuzamazameni komhlaba kuya emlilweni wasendle), futhi zincoma ukuthi yonke imindeni ibe nekhithi yenhlekelele eyisisekelo enezinto zezinsuku ezintathu uma uhlangana nawe. Umndeni wakho nezilwane ezifuywayo zizosuswa futhi zibe nezinto zesonto ezimbili uma ukhosele ekhaya.
Cishe usuvele unayo iningi lezinto zakho ezibalulekile. Engeza lokho okusebenzisile noma ungeze lokho ongenayo. Vuselela futhi uvuselele amanzi nokudla njalo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha.
Ungathenga amakhithi okulungiselela izimo eziphuthumayo noma awenziwe ngokwezifiso, noma wakhe awakho (nansi uhlu lokuhlola uma kwenzeka isevisi noma ugesi oyinhloko wehluleka).
Amanzi: Uma imigudu yakho yamanzi iqhuma noma amanzi akho engcolile, uzodinga igaloni lamanzi ngomuntu ngamunye ngosuku ukuze uwaphuze, upheke futhi uhlanze. Isilwane sakho sidinga igaloni lamanzi ngosuku. I-Portland Earthquake Toolkit ichaza indlela yokugcina amanzi ngokuphephile. Izitsha kufanele ziqinisekiswe ukuthi azinazo ipulasitiki eziqukethe i-BPA futhi zenzelwe amanzi okuphuza.
Ukudla: Ngokusho kwe-American Red Cross, kunconywa ukuthi ube nokudla okwanele okungaboli amasonto amabili. Ochwepheshe batusa ukudla okungaboli, okulula ukukulungisa, njengesobho ezisemathinini, ezingenawo usawoti omningi.
Nanka amathiphu okubhekana nokuncintisana phakathi kokonga amanzi nokugcina indawo yakho iluhlaza njengendlela yokuvimbela umlilo.
I-Portland Fire & Rescue inohlu lokuhlola ukuphepha oluhlanganisa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imishini kagesi kanye neyokushisa isebenza kahle futhi ayishisi ngokweqile.
Ukuvimbela umlilo kuqala egcekeni: “Bengingazi ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo zokuphepha ezizosindisa indlu yami, ngakho ngenze konke engingakwenza”
Nansi imisebenzi emikhulu nemincane ongayenza ukuze unciphise ingozi yokusha kwekhaya lakho kanye nomphakathi emililweni yasendle.
Ama-kit ezimoto zeRedfora agcwele izinto ezibalulekile eceleni komgwaqo kanye nezinto eziphuthumayo ezisiza ukubhekana nokuphazamiseka komgwaqo noma zibe nezinto ezibalulekile eziphuthumayo ezilungele uma kwenzeka umlilo wasendle, ukuzamazama komhlaba, izikhukhula, ukucima kukagesi. Ngokuthenga ngakunye, nikela nge-1% ngeRedfora Relief emndenini ongenamakhaya ngokuzumayo, i-ejensi yokusiza ezinhlekeleleni edinga ukwesekwa noma uhlelo lokuvimbela oluhlakaniphile.
Inothi kubafundi: Uma uthenga okuthile ngesinye sezixhumanisi zethu ezihambisanayo, singase sithole ikhomishini.
