Rules of conduct in a Blizzard and frost

Employees of the emergency Department of the Ulan district asks to be careful in the winter

In case of severe frost and snowstorms, you should not go outside of localities. Also, rescuers are asked to be vigilant, monitor information about changes in weather conditions, when leaving the house to look at the thermometer or observe the surrounding nature, and you can also download the Darmen app on mobile phones.

"Dress according to the weather, do not neglect extra clothing; do not go on the road at night and when the weather worsens; in cold weather, especially in severe frost, control your condition, do not allow General and local hypothermia. Most often, the lower extremities, ears, nose, and fingers are exposed to hypothermia, " the list of safety measures indicates.

If, after all, a Blizzard caught on the way, and there are other cars nearby, you need to get together and use one car for shelter.

"You can not leave the shelter-the car, as in a strong Blizzard landmarks may be lost. Place the car with the hood against the wind, keep warm as much as possible saving fuel, do not drive the oven continuously. Periodically open one of the doors, move it, break the snowdrift, so that the snow does not immure you inside the cabin. This door can then be used as an emergency exit. If you start the engine to heat the interior of the car, then periodically go outside and dig out the exhaust pipe, so that the gas from it goes into the atmosphere, and not under the car. Exhaust gases released when the engine is running and gradually accumulate in the car can lead to an accident," the rescuers warn.
