On the front lines of flood fighting, time is of the essence. According to statistics, a total of more than 3,000 rescuers, more than 50 engineering vehicles and 18 excavators and other heavy equipment were urgently mobilized and put into intense rescue work.
Truckloads of sand and gravel and bags of dirt are all weapons against floods.
The Hunan Provincial Prevention Office not only activated the evacuation plan as soon as possible to ensure that the evacuation process was orderly, but also quickly organized forces to provide temporary shelter, food, medical care and other basic living guarantees for the evacuated people, so that they could feel warm during the disaster.
At the same time, the inspection and defense of the unaffected embankment sections have been strengthened to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters.
Experts and technicians closely monitor the changes in the water level, scientifically formulate a plugging plan, and carry out the breach plugging operation day and night, and strive to control the danger as soon as possible.
Throughout the night, rescue forces continued to fight on the front line of the levee. At dawn on the 6th, the flood water at the mouth of the embankment was still surging, and the water level in the embankment continued to rise, and the low houses could not escape the disaster of having no roof.
Tuanzhou Village, Qianlianghu Town, responded positively and quickly gathered 32 villagers, armed with lawn mowers and sickles, to the embankment, vowing to remove obstacles and ensure the safety of the embankment.
"Weeds and shrubs can be cleared quickly, so that leakage concerns can be detected early." Captain Liu Lisong emphasized categorically.
At the beginning of the morning, the tense rescue scene of Tuanzhou Ridge in Huarong County was captured by the Xinhua News Agency camera. The report was updated that by 9 a.m. on the 6th, the Tuanzhou Dam Breach was widened to 220 meters, and the difference between the internal and external water levels was only 0.17 meters.
On the embankment, the vehicles and personnel are on standby, and the construction platform is being built quickly to facilitate the entry and exit of large machinery.
@中国消防通报, in accordance with the dispatch of the provincial prevention and control command, the Hunan emergency response team of 224 people from Beizhouzi Town, Datonghu District, Yiyang City was quickly transferred to Tuanbei Village, Tuanzhou Township, Huarong County, carrying 21 vehicles, becoming the first batch of professional rescue teams to arrive at the scene.
After arriving at the port, the team immediately followed the instructions to devote themselves to the laying of the color stripe cloth of the embankment and the cleaning of debris, and then cooperated with the Junshan District Prevention Command to ensure the delivery of flood control materials.
As of 4:50 on the 6th, 9.5 kilometers of color striped cloth and 5.6 kilometers of sandbags have been laid, totaling about 700 bags.
The Ministry of National Defense and Emergency Management has been dispatching intensively, paying close attention to the handling of dangerous situations and resource needs, dispatching more than 800 fire and rescue personnel, 146 vehicles and 82 ships to rush to the rescue, and deploying a team of 50 people from China Aneng Changsha Base with 30 sets of professional equipment to carry out plugging operations.
In addition, the water engineering rescue team in Changsha also carried materials and equipment such as gravel, sand and gravel bags, wire ropes, etc., with the help of drones and satellite technology, to fully support on-site rescue and image data collection.
On the same day, the Ministry of Finance and Emergency Management urgently allocated 540 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds to help Hunan and other regions cope with floods, geological disasters and forest fires.
Among them, 503 million yuan was allocated to 9 provinces including Hunan for personnel rescue and transfer, emergency treatment, secondary disaster investigation and residential restoration; 37 million yuan will be specially supported for forest fire emergency rescue in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi.
At the same time, the inspection and defense of the unaffected embankment sections have been strengthened to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters. Experts and technicians closely monitor the changes in the water level, scientifically formulate a plugging plan, and carry out the breach plugging operation day and night, and strive to control the danger as soon as possible.
Floods have ravaged farmland, damaged houses, and incalculable economic losses. For local residents, this is not just a material loss, but also a worry about the uncertainty of their future lives.
The breach of the levee has also had a serious impact on the local ecological environment, destroying wetland ecosystems and threatening wildlife habitats, and there is a long way to go in ecological restoration.
Disasters not only test the resilience of infrastructure, but also test the cohesion of society. The assistance and attention from all walks of life have demonstrated the spirit of the Chinese nation working together in times of need, but it has also exposed the weaknesses in the flood control system.
On the Internet, there was a lively discussion about the burst. Some netizens questioned the lack of water conservancy and land reclamation last year, believing that the construction of a long-term flood control system is urgent.
At the same time, many netizens expressed their appreciation for the government's rapid response and rescue efficiency, and called on all sectors of society to pay attention to the reconstruction of the disaster area and participate in flood prevention and mitigation work.
The Dongting Lake levee burst incident is not only a test of natural disasters, but also a test of emergency management capabilities. The rapid response and efficient rescue shown by the Hunan Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and relevant departments in the face of the crisis are worthy of recognition.
But at the same time, this incident has also sounded the alarm bell, reminding us that in the future, we need to further strengthen the construction of water conservancy facilities, optimize emergency plans, enhance the awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation of the whole people, and ensure that in the face of natural disasters, we can be more calm and protect the safety of people's lives and property.
There is still a long way to go, but every baptism of disaster is a precious wealth on our way forward, inspiring us to continue to move forward and create a better home.
