Six tips for safe electricity use in disaster relief tents

Jul 18, 2025 Leave a message

1. Pay attention to the safety of tent construction. Do not build tents under power lines and around power distribution facilities, and do not store inflammable and explosive articles in or around the tent. The temporary electrical wiring and electrical installation in the tent should be operated by professionals, and do not connect or install the wires by yourself.

 

2. Pay attention to line safety. Power lines should be made of flame-retardant materials, such as metal pipes with reliable grounding points, and electrical switches should use leakage circuit breakers with appropriate capacity.

 

3. Pay attention to not overloading the electricity. Do not use high-power electrical appliances in the tent, and do not overload the electricity. Electric heating, electric blankets, incandescent lamps, and other electrical facilities used in the tent should have safety certification and be used strictly according to the instructions.

 

4. Pay attention to turning off the power supply in time. Do not roast wet clothes on the heating equipment, and turn off the power supply of electrical equipment when leaving.

 

5. Pay attention to not using water-based fire extinguishing materials. If the fire is caused by abnormal power lines, the power should be cut off immediately before firefighting. Dry powder fire extinguishing materials or sand should be used to deal with electrical fires, and water-based fire extinguishing materials should not be used.

 

6. Pay attention to the correct rescue. If a person is electrocuted, cut off the power supply quickly, move the person to a safe place to perform CPR and other first aid measures, and call the emergency phone to send the person to the hospital for rescue.
