Lungisela likhaya lakho i-hurricane¶

Lelikhasi likusita kulungisela likhaya lakho i-hurricane ngatindlela timbili: umsebenti wekucotha wenta ngaphambi kwesizini, kanye nemsebenti wesheshe wenta nasele emalanga mabili sivunguvungu sifika. Kulimala kwemoya lokunyenti kucala kuncane, nge-sheet yeluphahla lekhululekile linye, lugede olunye loluvuliwe, nome lifasitela linye lelephukile, ngako imisebenti lemincane ibalulekile.

Lifaka tindlu teblock lekonkiliti, tindlu tetingodvo, netindlu tetiluphahla letinsimbi, tetayili, nome te-shingle. Nangabe uhlalisa, buka bahlali nemafulatsi. Nangabe uhlala endlini yekuhamba, buka tindlu tekuhamba netekwakhiwa.

Nangabe wenta tintfo tintatu kuphela¶

1. Nquma kutsi utasibekela njani lifasitela ngalinye negede lengilazi, futsi utsatse timphahla tilungele ngaphambi kwesizini.
2. Lungisa ma-sheet eluphahla lekhululekile, ematayili, nome ema-shingle, bese ubophela luhlaka loluphahla emabondzeni nangabe ungakhona.
3. Cacisa sigadi, luphahla, nemagede konkhe kokungagudluliswa ngumoya nome emanti.

Kutsi indlu ihluleka njani kusivunguvungu¶

Umoya awugingcilizi luhlangotini olubheke wona kuphela endlini. Nawo udvonsa etulu eluphahleni nasemabondzeni angekhona lubheke umoya. Nakwephuka lifasitela, lugede, nome lugede lwegaraji, umoya ugingcilizisa ngekhatsi udvonsa luphahla ngasentasi. Yindlela leyivami kutsi luphahla luyephuka.

Ngako luhlelo lwemsebenti: gcina luphahla lubophekile, gcina tincenye letivulekako tivaliwe, bese ususa noma yini umoya longayigudlulisa. Bese ugcina emanti ngaphandle nekhashane nendlu.

Ku-Hurricane Andrew (1992), leyashaya eningizimu Florida, tindlu letinyenti talahlekelwa luphahla, futsi emagede egaraji lehlulekile netixhumanisi tephahla takuba tincenye letibuthakile letijwayelekile. Imitsetfo yekwakha yaciniswa emvakwaloko. Sifundzo sisebenta kunome yiphi indlu: tixhumanisi tephahla netincenye letivulekako tibaluleke njengemabondza.

Emaviki ngaphambi kwesizini¶

Yenta loku etinyangeni letithulile, lapho bomakhi netimphahla kulula kutfolwa futsi tilinani tijwayelekile.

Luphahla¶

Luphahla yindzawo lapho kulimala kwemoya kokunyenti kucalisa khona.

• Funa ma-sheet, matayili, nome ema-shingle elephahla lakhululekile, lafohlokiwe, lenebikimbi, nome lashoda, ulungise.
• Hlola emicele waluphahla ne-ridge, lapho umoya uphakamisa kucala.
• Kutiphahla letinsimbi, shintja matifiksha lanebikimbi nome lashoda, usebentise ma-roofing screw esikhundleni sa-nail lapho ungakhona.
• Hlola kutsi luhlaka loluphahla lubophelwe emabondzeni ngama-metal strap nome ma-clip (ma-hurricane strap), ubute umakhi kutsi angetele nangabe akukhona.
• Susa nome ubophe nome yini etulu eluphahleni: ma-sheet lakhululekile, matanki yemanti, ema-solar panel langabophekile kahle, ma-satellite dish.
• Gundza tingatjana letithintene nome letilengele etulu kwaluphahla.

Qasha umakhi lonelicembu kumsebenti wesakhiwo, ulandzele imitsetfo yakho yakwakha yendzawo. Kuletindzawo letinye, tixhumanisi tephahla letibhaliwe nome luphahla lolwaklelwa kumoya lungehlisa imali yenshuwarensi yakho, ngako buta umnikati wakho wenshuwarensi ngaphambi kwekukhokha msebenti.

Emafasitela nemagede¶

Khetsa kuvikela kwakho kwemafasitela manje. Nakubikezelwa sivunguvungu, plywood nemafiksha ye-shutter ayaphela futsi bafaki babhukishwe emalanga.

Sebentisa litheyibhula leli kucatsanisa tinketho.

Plywood isebenta nangabe uyilungisa kusenesikhatsi. Buta umakhi kutsi bukhulu buni budzingekela lifasitela lakho. Insita yekucwaninga ye-hurricane ye-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration yeluleka plywood yangaphandle lenebukhulu ngalokungasantfula ⅝ inch (cishe 16 mm). Sika pulangwe lelilunga lifasitela ngalinye negede lengilazi, likhulu kancane kunesikhala, bhola imigodi yekumunta, bese ulabela pulangwe ngalinye nelifasitela lelilifanele.

Fakisa mangka nome ma-bolt lahlala emehlweni emabondzeni eceleni kwelifasitela ngalinye manje, kuze kufakwa kwemapulangwe kutsatse imizuzu esikhundleni sehora yekufuna screw. Gcina mapulangwe emile, womile, nemascrew nedriver esikhwameni sinye.

Emagede:

• Hlola kutsi magede angephandle avaleka ngekucinakisiwe futsi anelayini nome bolt lenemandla.
• Kumagede amabili, engeta ma-bolt etulu naphansi kugede lelimile.
• Vikela magede eengilazi ngendlela lefanako njengemafasitela.

Lugede lwegaraji¶

Lugede lwegaraji sikhala sesikhulu kakhulu kumakhaya lamanyenti. Nangabe umoya ulugingcilizisa ngekhatsi, kucindzetela kungaphakamisa luphahla ngasentasi. Buta inkampani yakho yelugede lwegaraji nangabe lugede lwakho luklelwe kumoya, nangabe i-bracing kit ihlangana ne-model yakho. Yifake ngaphambi kwesizini, uvale uyibophe lugede ngaphambi kwesivunguvungu.

Sigadi nangephandle¶

• Susa tihlahla letifile nome letibuthakile netingatjana letifile, uyente kusenesikhatsi kuze kudvoshwa kucoshwe ngaphambi kwesivunguvungu.
• Nquma lapho utabeka khona tifenisha, matibhokisi, titjalo, nemathuluzi kuze ukwati kungenisa ngalokuphangisako.
• Fumana indlela yekubophela nome yini lenkhulu kakhulu kugudluliswa, njengeshedi, tanki yemanti, nome silinda segesi.
• Lungisa lifenisi, masango, nembondza letikhululekile.

Emanti nekugelekeca¶

• Cacisa matutshu, ema-downpipe, nemagede esigadi.
• Cacisa lugede lwemgwaco nome umsele oseduzane nelikhaya lakho, nangabe kuphephile futsi kuvunyelwe.
• Hlola kutsi umhlaba uyacobeka khashane nendlu.
• Nangabe unemphompo yesump, iyihlole uyengete i-battery backup, ngobe iyehluleka nakucishwa gezi.
• Nangabe unetanki yemanti nome sikhungo semanti, hlola kutsi sikhwama sicinakile kuze emanti akukhukhuma angangeni.

Kuvikela kukhukhuma¶

Tindlu letinyenti letakhukhumela ku-Hurricane Harvey (2017) esigodzini sase-Houston betingaphandle kwetifunda tekukhukhuma letimephiwe tingoti leliphakeme. Nangabe likhaya lakho alikaze lakhukhuma, awukacabangi kutsi uphephile. Hlola timephu takho tendzawo tekukhukhuma, ubute hulumende wakho wendzawo kutsi emanti ahamba njani emgwacweni wakho.

• Fumana lapho hulumende wakho wendzawo akhipha sihlabatsi nome matibhegi tesihlabatsi, nekutsi aphela ngesikhatsi sini.
• Cabangela matibhegi ekukhukhuma lasetjentiswa kaningi emagedeni nemavent.
• Nquma lifenisi, i-electronics, namaphepha lotawukugudlulisela kuflo lelisetulu nome shelufu.
• Buta kombane kutsi tincenye tekufaka lushini negezi tingaphakanyiswa etulu kwemazinga akukhukhuma kwangasesheshe.
• Nangabe unelayini lekuvimbela kubuya emanti elwandle, hlola kutsi isebenta.

Kucisha¶

Fumana lushini loluphakathi lwemanti, lushini legesi (nome lushini kusilinda segesi), nelishwitshi lenhloko legezi nome libreaker. Labela ngalinye. Lushini lwemanti loluphakathi kanyenti luseduze nemeta yemanti nome lapho lupayipi lwekufaka lungena endlini.

• Lushini lwemanti loluphakathi, nelithuluzi lekuluvula.
• Lishwitshi legezi loluphakathi nome libreaker.
• Lushini lwemeta yegesi, nespanner esisondzele kulo, nome lushini kusilinda segesi ngasinye.
• Khombisa umuntfu lomdzala ngamunye lusekhaya kutsi asebentise njani.

Hlolisa kucisha emanti. Awukahlolisi ngegesi lenhloko, ngobe nakucishwa, inkampani yegesi ingadzinga kuyivula kabusha.

Tifanekiso teinshuwarensi¶

Hamba kugumbi ngalinye nehliphoni lakho bese ushicilela vidiyo, kufaka ngekhatsi ma-closet namatalu. Shicilela ngaphandle kwendlu kuhlangothi lonkhe, bese ugcina mafayela ngaphandle kwelikhaya lakho. Buka Inshuwarensi ye-hurricane nemadokhumenti labalulekile.

Emaphutsa lajwayelekile¶

• Kulindza sibikezelo kutenga ma-shutter, plywood, nome tintya. Timphahla tiphela, bafaki bamatasa.
• Kufaka plywood ngaphandle kwemangka, kuze ma-screw aphume kubondza.
• Kushiya lugede lwegaraji lungabophiwe ngobe imoto ikhatsi.
• Kucacisa matutshu ngemuva kwemvula yekucala lenyenti kuphela. Yenta ngaphambi kwesizini, kabusha ngaphambi kwesivunguvungu.
• Kucabanga kutsi luphahla lulungile ngobe alucoshwa. Buka ngemuva kwesizini ngasinye.
• Kucisha gesi nome gezi kusenesikhatsi, ngaphambi kwekwati nangabe udzinga. Landzela seluleko setiphatsimandla tendzawo yakho.

Nakusele malanga mabili sivunguvungu sifika¶

Nakukhishwa kulindzelwa nome sixwayiso sekucala, nome cishe emalanga mabili ngaphambi kwekulindzelwa komoya lonemandla, cedza msebenti. Emagama netikhatsi tesixwayiso tihlukahlukana ngelive.

Buka luhlelo lwesikhatsi lwekulungisela i-hurricane ne Kulindzelwa nekuxwayiswa kwetivunguvungu kutsi sixwayiso ngasinye sisho ini.

Nangabe tiphatsimandla tikuyalela kuhamba, yima lapha bese uhamba. Lolunye luhlu lungalindza.

Ngaphandle

• Fakisa ma-shutter nome plywood kulifasitela nome negede lengilazi ngalinye.
• Vala ucinakise lugede lwegaraji.
• Ngenisa tifenisi tepatiyo, ma-grill, titjalo, timcamba, matibhokisi, nemathuluzi.
