紧急情况下的安全须知

上周末,龙卷风袭击了美国多个州。本周,有可能出现更危险的天气。过去相对不受强风暴影响的地区正越来越频繁地遭受极端天气的袭击。无论您住在哪里,都有可能遭遇破坏性风暴。为了安全起见,您需要做好准备。以下是一些可以在紧急情况下保证您安全的必备物品。

美国的天气为何如此恶劣?

专家们说,美国在天气灾难方面领先世界有两个主要原因:地理位置和气候变化。

大多数恶劣天气都需要温暖湿润的空气作为催化剂。由于美国濒临两大洋和一个海湾,因此有大量机会产生温暖、饱和的空气。此外,大气河流携带大量水汽从西部进入美国,冷却后产生大量降水。

影响风暴的另一个因素是喷流。这股快速移动的气流在大气层的上层流动,导致风力和气压的变化,既能带来风暴,也能使天气状况(如热浪)保持不变。因此,喷射气流是影响美国天气的主要因素。

气候变化使世界变暖,空气越热,所能容纳的水分就越多。这为大气层提供了制造猛烈风暴所需的燃料。随着气候变化的持续,恶劣天气(飓风、龙卷风、热浪、干旱、野火、洪水、暴风雪等)的频率将会增加。

Allen Foster started writing for BestReviews in 2018. After covering the entertainment world for over 25 years, he decided it was time for a change. Drawing upon his work experience in the construction field as well as the knowledge and training he received while selling tools, equipment, and home decor at one of the country's largest home improvement retailers, Allen decided it was time to give back. He wanted to share his extensive knowledge of how things worked in a simple and straightforward way that would benefit consumers. When he is not learning about new products, upgrading his home, or working on an assignment, Allen enjoys teaching music and writing fiction.

Expertise and Experience

Allen has no formal training as a writer. His college education included an Associate of Fine Arts from a local community college and an individual study program at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. His focus was on music theory, composition, and arranging. When he sold his first article to Keyboard Magazine, he realized the importance of the phrase "write what you know."

Over the past 30-plus years, Allen has honed his skills while continuing to write about the things he knows. He has written several thousand articles that have appeared in newspapers, magazines, and online media outlets. He has interviewed celebrities, experts, and media icons, such as Brian Wilson and Dan Rather.

亮点

  • Spent summers working with his older brother in construction to learn about building a home from the ground up, making upgrades, and completing home repairs.
  • Received training to become an expert in selling tools at one of the country's largest home improvement retailers.
  • Is a knowledgeable DIYer who performs most of his own home repairs.

Achievements

Early in his writing career, Allen edited and published a print magazine called Songwriter's Monthly that was distributed around the world. Throughout his career, he has been lucky enough to speak with over a thousand individuals who are considered experts or are highly regarded in their field.
