Yaas Cyclone: Storm in the Bay of Bengal is becoming increasingly dangerous. Due to this, there is a possibility of arriving at Dhamra Port in Bhadrak district of Odisha today. The Indian Meteorological Department has said that on May 26, the storm will cross Odisha’s north and west Bengal coast. At the same time, due to the proximity of Paradip and Sagar Island Dhamra Port, there has been a lot of concern. According to the Meteorological Department, by Wednesday afternoon, the storm will take a severe form. Let us tell you that the Meteorological Department has already told that during this storm, strong winds can be run at a speed of 165 km per hour.

The state and central government have taken several precautionary measures to minimize damage from this storm. People have been evacuated from many coastal areas of West Bengal and Odisha to safer places. Let us tell you that cyclonic storms are accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. In such a situation it is also necessary that we also take all precautionary measures which can cause the least loss of life and property. In such a situation, there are some small but important things that can be avoided if done.

Do these steps to keep yourself safe from Yaas cyclone: –

As a precaution, before the arrival of a Yaas cyclone, turn off the main connection switch of your home light, so that the impact of the storm ends the possibility of any current in the house.
Turn off the cooking gas supply in your home as well. It can be very dangerous due to its damage in a cyclonic storm. If you have a gas cylinder nearby, keep it in a safe place as well.
Close all windows and doors of the house well. If your house comes in the path of a cyclonic storm, then it is better that you move to any other safe place in time.
Do not make the mistake of stepping out of the house during any time of a cyclonic storm. Stay in your home among your family and keep your spirits up.
Before such a natural disaster, make sure that you have some medicines and other things as first aid in case of any kind of injury to your people. Keep them with you.
Keep a list of all emergency services with you, including all phone numbers.
Do not ignore the rumors about the cyclonic storm. Just follow the talk of government sources and officials and also avoid spreading rumors.
In view of the possibility of cyclonic storms, as a precaution in all the areas along the coastline, all people are forbidden from going to sea, but if you see any person unaware of it, then do not refuse it.
During the Yaas cyclone, do not get angry at the people involved in relief work, and keep your patience. If possible, give your full support with the help of these officers or people.
Keep some important things with you, such as a torch or emergency light. This is because the electricity of the houses is cut off before such a severe cyclonic storm so that there is no damage and the current does not spread. In such a situation, you must have a torch or other emergency light.
Keep the food and drink essentials near you and store them in any dry place. Place them on the ground.
By no means stand near the wall of electric poles, huge trees, and houses to protect yourself. This can be harmful.
Also, keep in mind that cyclone is trapped in the storm like you, so always keep yourself ready for help.
Take special care of the elderly and children.
