Preface
Recently, a rare flood struck the city of Yueyang, Hunan Province, when a breach in Dongting Lake was washed away, and a large amount of flood water poured in, causing great harm to local residents and farmland. In order to control the flood as soon as possible and protect the safety of the local people's lives and property, the water conservancy department and the armed police force urgently dispatched to carry out emergency flood fighting and rescue work. In this flood relief campaign, the officers and men of the armed police completed the closing of the embankment in two days, which experts estimated would take 710 days to complete, and their heroic deeds touched countless people and also demonstrated the spiritual quality of human beings in uniting and forging ahead bravely in the face of natural disasters.
1. Unite as one to overcome the difficulties together
Since ancient times, floods have been a very terrible natural disaster, and its arrival will have a huge impact on people's production and life, and even pose a serious threat to the safety of people's lives and property. Since the beginning of this year, under the influence of heavy rainfall, floods have occurred in many areas of the eastern country, which has brought varying degrees of impact to the local people and has also brought certain difficulties to the flood fighting and rescue work.
During the flood relief work, Yueyang City in Hunan Province was hit by severe flooding, and a breach in Dongting Lake was washed away, and a large amount of flood water poured into the breach, bringing great harm to the surrounding residents and farmland. In the face of such a grim situation, the local water conservancy department and the armed police force urgently dispatched to find the location of the breach as soon as possible, launch emergency flood fighting and rescue work, control the flood as soon as possible, and protect the safety of the local people's lives and property.
In this flood relief campaign, we have seen the heroism and fearlessness of the people's soldiers, who charged forward, fearlessly faced the surging floods, and used their bodies to build a solid line of defense for the safety of the people's lives and property. In particular, the water conservancy experts originally predicted that it would take 7 to 10 days to complete the work of closing the embankment, but the officers and men of the armed police only took two days.
2. Unite as one to fight floods together
In the face of natural disasters, human beings are very small, but when we show solidarity, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges. Whether it is the staff from the water conservancy department or the officers and soldiers from the armed police force, they all rushed to the front line without fear and practiced the mission and responsibility of the people's soldiers with practical actions.
In addition, we also saw the scene of the whole country working together to overcome the difficulties, and when everyone learned the news of the flood attack in Yueyang, Hunan, they reached out to help the flood relief work. Some people supported the flood relief work by donating money, some people took the initiative to sign up and asked to go to the front line of flood fighting, and some people organized to send masks, food and other urgently needed materials to the officers and soldiers.
At such a moment, we deeply feel that the power of unity is so strong, and only when the people of the whole country can think in one place and work hard in one place, can we usher in real victory, and can we resolve the crisis and protect the happiness and well-being of the people in the face of various natural disasters.
3. Strengthen monitoring and early warning of natural disasters
In this flood fighting and rescue work, the officers and men of the armed police completed the work of closing the embankment in two days, and many people were very surprised by the speed of this work, and also caused people to have some conjectures about the prediction and prevention of natural disasters. Natural disasters cannot be avoided, but as long as we can strengthen the monitoring and early warning of natural disasters, we will be able to make adequate preparations before disasters come, and we will be able to minimize the impact of disasters on people.
In our future work, we must intensify the monitoring and early warning of natural disasters and improve the accuracy and practicability of experts' predictions; only when we can predict the location and time of natural disasters in advance can we better guide the flood fighting and rescue work and make the most effective use of the flood relief forces.
In addition to strengthening the monitoring and early warning of natural disasters, we also need to do a good job in preventing natural disasters, whether it is the construction of water conservancy facilities or the reserve of flood fighting and rescue teams, we need to be prepared, only in this way can we make an effective response to natural disasters as soon as they come, and only then can we protect the safety of people's lives and property to the greatest extent.
Fourth, work together to face challenges
The closure of the levee is only the beginning of the flood relief work, and in the future, we will face many other challenges, such as the livelihood of the affected people, the reconstruction of farmland, etc., which are all challenges that we need to work together to face together.
At present, the authorities have begun the transition stage of flood relief work, and must begin to make every effort to carry out flood relief and post-disaster reconstruction work, and in this process, we also need the support of the water conservancy department, the meteorological department and other aspects, and also need the active participation of all sectors of society and the broad masses of the people.
In the face of natural disasters, we need to remain vigilant and show a spirit of solidarity, because only when we dare to face all kinds of difficulties and challenges can we find solutions to problems and usher in a better tomorrow.

I also hope that the broad masses of the people can always pay attention to the latest progress of flood relief work, and also hope that everyone can put forward valuable opinions and suggestions for the prevention of natural disasters and flood relief work, because only when everyone can actively participate in the flood relief work, can we find the best solution, and can we better cope with the challenges of various natural disasters.
