Zaozhuang, Shandong:Successfully transferred 7 households with 16 people.
There has been a continuous precipitation process in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province recently. At 6 o’clock on July 16th, the Taierzhuang sluice of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal started flood discharge according to the orange warning of rainstorm, and the flow reached 100 cubic meters per second. In Donggaomiao Village, Yinping Town, Yicheng District, more than 20 kilometers away from the flood discharge site, the villagers quietly looked at the drainage ditch, and the slippers were covered with mud. The children snuggled up in their grandfather’s arms and dared not say hello to the camera.
Zhang Hongwei, Mayor of Zaozhuang City, spoke highly of the emergency rescue work in Yicheng District at the emergency dispatch meeting of flood control work in the city: the work was meticulous, in-depth and solid, and the masses were organized to move to safety in time, and casualties and property losses were avoided with all their efforts.
At 19: 00 on the 15th, light rain began to fall over Yicheng District.
At Yicheng Meteorological Observatory, Cui Yunpeng, the forecaster on duty, kept an eye on the rainfall data and radar echo map. Although the yellow rainstorm warning signal released at the 15: 00 meeting has prepared the flood control responsible persons at all levels for this rain, Cui Yunpeng still has a string in his heart: "To lock the magnitude and landing area more accurately, it is necessary to obtain it in real time from the short-term approaching forecast and warning."
In just three hours, the precipitation accumulated nearly 100 mm. This rainfall has attracted the attention of Li Qiang, director of the District Meteorological Bureau. "The north and west of Yinping Town are mountains, and Donggaomiao Village is a path that turns left from the entrance of the village. The terrain is low." He judged that in the case of concentrated precipitation, floods are very likely to occur here.
At this time, Cui Yunpeng’s walkie-talkie sounded: "Yicheng Meteorological Observatory, Yinping Station has reached 90 mm, do you want to upgrade the warning signal?" At the other end of the intercom is Lu Cuihua, chief forecaster of the Municipal Meteorological Observatory.
"How about upgrading to red?" Cui Yunpeng suggested that the red color became more and more obvious on the radar echo map in front of him.
"Agreed, please release it immediately!"
At 22: 13, Yicheng Meteorological Observatory released the first rainstorm red warning signal this year. Li Qiang immediately dialed the telephone of Zhang Xibin, the district chief, especially reminding the real-time precipitation in Yinping Town and forwarding the early warning information to the work group.
The starting gun started, and the district flood control headquarters immediately launched an emergency response.
At 2300 hours, a total of 75 people from three working groups established by the district emergency management, fire protection, public security and other departments, as well as the government of Yinping Town, arrived at Donggaomiao Village.
"Power failure!" Ma Dengfeng, Party Secretary of Yinping Town, directed the rescue work. The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the drainage ditch is only at the entrance of the village. The water overflows and is most afraid of leakage, so it is necessary to dig through the drainage ditch in time.
In the dark, a little starlight appeared on the water. It was Li Xiuhai, secretary of the village party branch. He held a wooden stick in his left hand, held a flashlight in his right hand, and went shirtless, leading the way for more than a dozen firefighters behind him and fighting for rescue time.
"It’s raining hard, and there are still three children in my family who haven’t gone out!" Villager Zhang Yu shouted for rescuers. What’s more, there is a pond in front of her house. Under the action of heavy rain, the accumulated water is close to two meters. Firefighters groped along the wall and approached slowly, holding young children in large pots and carrying them to the village emergency point.
With the cooperation of Qi Xin from various departments, at 0: 00 on 16th, Donggaomiao Village successfully transferred 7 households with 16 people.
