……
On August 20th, the flood peak of "No.2 flood of Jialing River in 2020" and "No.5 flood of Yangtze River in 2020" passed through the main city of Chongqing. This flood is the biggest flood in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River since the flood season this year, and it is also a rare catastrophic flood in Chongqing history. In order to protect people’s lives and property, Chongqing launched the first flood control level I emergency response since records began, and the whole city mobilized and acted quickly to devote itself to flood control and disaster relief.
Scientific scheduling runs before "flood season"
Establish a three-level flood control and emergency command system
The floods in Jialing River and Yangtze River appeared one after another, and the tests followed. How to reduce disaster losses as much as possible, scientific dispatching of flood control projects is one of the key links.
On August 19th, Chen Miner, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, once again inspected the flood control work of No.5 Yangtze River flood and No.2 Jialing River flood passing through Chongqing. He stressed that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on flood control and disaster relief, fully implement the deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, always adhere to the people first, put life first, work in a highly responsible and vigilant state, strengthen scientific dispatch and response, deepen the investigation and management of hidden dangers, do a good job in emergency rescue, go all out to win the tough battle of flood control and disaster relief, and strive to minimize the losses caused by disasters.
In the evening, according to the flood development, Chen Miner and Tang Liangzhi, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, once again consulted and dispatched the flood control and disaster relief work in the whole city, and made arrangements for further strengthening flood control measures.
A flood is an order.
"Chongqing has established a three-level flood control and rescue headquarters command system from the city to the districts and counties to the risk points of weak links." Ran Jinhong, deputy commander of the Municipal Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and director of the Municipal Emergency Management Bureau, said that the smooth command system from top to bottom allowed Chongqing to be as busy as a finger even in the face of a major flood.
On the morning of August 16th, the Municipal Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters organized the flood control and drought relief headquarters offices of 15 districts and counties along the Fujiang River, Jialing River and Yangtze River, and the relevant persons in charge of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, the Municipal Meteorological Bureau and the Hydrological Upstream Bureau of the Yangtze River Committee to hold a flood control video dispatching meeting, so as to construct the command system of the three-level flood control and rescue headquarters at the risk points of cities, districts and counties and weak links.
Since August 16th, the Municipal Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has sent nine working groups to 15 districts and counties along the Fujiang River, Jialing River and Yangtze River to fully guide and assist the local government and relevant departments to organize personnel to carry out safety inspections, rectify hidden dangers, set up warnings and transfer personnel.
On the evening of the 18th, the reporter saw that the emergency field headquarters of Shapingba District was built on Shabin Road. In the tent of the headquarters, several firefighters are resting on sleeping bags, and rubber boats are placed outside the tent. "As long as the headquarters gives an order, firefighters can immediately invest in the rescue." Jiaping Zhao, director of Ciqikou Street Emergency Office, said.
It is understood that the city also scientifically dispatches multi-departmental coordinated operations. The 62 water storage reservoirs under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Water Investment Group carry out flood dispatching plans as required, and give full play to the peak-shaving ability of the reservoirs and participate in emergency flood control on the premise of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the reservoirs.
Chongqing Water Conservancy Bureau contacted the Yangtze River Defense Bureau, Sichuan Water Resources Department and other units to jointly dispatch the Three Gorges Reservoir, Tingzikou, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and Chongqing Caojie Power Station in stages according to their rights and responsibilities, in an effort to alleviate the flood control pressure in the central city of Chongqing.
Traffic patrol, maritime department, etc. issued relevant traffic control …
Scientific early warning should also run before the flood season. Water conservancy and hydrological departments at all levels in Chongqing closely monitor the changes of water regime and broadcast early warning on a rolling basis. At Fisherman’s Bay Wharf in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, Fan Yuandong, deputy director of the Agricultural and Rural Committee of Jiangbei District, who participated in the rescue, heard the mobile phone ticking, and the warning of flood control and water regime of rivers came over. "I want to keep an eye on the changes of flood water level outside the pier, and run to the rescue site every hour to inform everyone." Fan Yuandong said.
People first, life first.
Go all out to ensure the safety of people’s lives
On the morning of the 19th, the floods of Jialing River and Yangtze River struck, and some districts and counties along the Yangtze River in Chongqing greatly exceeded the guaranteed water level, and a large number of roads, shops and residential buildings in Linjiang were flooded. The city’s flood control and disaster relief entered the most critical moment, and all kinds of disaster relief teams in the city adhered to the front line and moved when they heard of the flood, effectively ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property.
In the street of Fishing Town in Hechuan District, 84-year-old resident Yang Xuejun was transferred from the assault boat, holding the fireman’s hand tightly and saying "thank you" repeatedly. Yang Xuejun’s family lived on the fifth floor. At first, they thought that the flood could not rise, but they knew that the incoming water was very fierce and flooded the first floor. The whole family suddenly panicked. "We quickly called the community cadres for help in the morning. In less than an hour, the rescue team drove the assault boat and successfully picked up the whole family." Yang Xuejun said.
From the night of 19th to the early morning of 20th, Shapingba ciqikou ancient town ushered in the strongest flood peak this year. District-level and street cadres, public security police, volunteers and other forces are all mobilized and on duty overnight to ensure the safety of the people. A 70-year-old man is sick and needs oxygen treatment at home on weekdays. The rapidly rising flood has trapped the old man at home. Taking off his rain boots and rolling up his trouser legs, Zhao Jianghong, a municipal team member, picked up the old man without saying anything, and with the help of several colleagues, he safely transferred the old man out of his home. As of noon on the 20th, Hongfeng successfully passed through Ciqikou, and no one was killed or injured.
At 16: 30 on August 19th, two people in Guojiatuo Luoqi Temple community in Jiangbei District were trapped in a residential building on the edge of the Yangtze River. The local assault boat failed to carry out rescue, and urgently requested support from the Municipal Emergency Management Bureau. The Municipal Emergency Management Bureau immediately dispatched two helicopters and successfully rescued two people around 19: 00.
When the flood peak came, the officers and men of the armed police, the public security police, the fire rescue corps, the militia and so on devoted themselves to the rescue and disaster relief battle, investigated the potential safety hazards, rescued the evacuated people and transferred the trapped materials.
At about 5 pm on August 19th, Ceng Hua and Wu Wei, militiamen in Banan District who had not slept for more than 24 hours, went to Jiangbin Road in Yudong Street to rescue them. Because of the complicated situation, they could not take a ladder, so they used their shoulders as life-saving ladders to build a "life path" for the trapped residents.
More than 20 people turned over the railing of the balcony on the second floor in turn, one step at a time, and arrived at the rescue assault boat steadily.
"I’m too fat to step on it."
"Nothing, step on it!"
During the rescue, a fat resident once couldn’t bear to step on the militia’s shoulder, and was relieved several times before he climbed over the railing.
On the assault boat, the residents discovered that the camouflage uniforms of the six rescuers on board were all wet.
"Thank you!" After arriving in safety, a rescued little girl stood on the shore and kept bowing to the militia.
We won’t evacuate until the flood recedes.
Build a "strong dam" for flood control and fighting."
In the face of the flood, grass-roots party organizations and cadres in party member held their positions, charged at the front line and fought at the forefront, and carried forward the style of continuous fighting without fear of fatigue, so that the flood did not retreat and the team did not withdraw, in exchange for the people’s peace in the city with their own hard work.
Xu Yang, the platoon leader of the water rescue platoon of the People’s Armed Forces Department of Hechuan District, who participated in the rescue and disaster relief in Fishing Town Street, has not rested for several days. A few days ago, while helping the masses to transfer materials, Xu Yang’s head was smashed and he had three stitches. When the reporter interviewed him, Xu Yang was still wrapped in tape, and just took a baby to safety. "If the flood does not retreat, we will not withdraw, and we must ensure the safety of everyone."
On the morning of 19th, in the bazi at the entrance of Ciqikou Folk Museum, No.68 Cizheng Street, Shapingba, Zhang Niangniang, who lives in Jinrong Lane, took care of her old mother with Alzheimer’s disease while packing up her newly moved household belongings.
"I didn’t expect the water to rise so high. We didn’t move it until after 6 am." Zhang Niangniang said with some terror.
Two days ago, community cadres came home to inform them that the flood peak would cross the border and the water level would be very high. The night before, they knocked on the door to inform them. "Our home is generally not flooded." Zhang Niangniang told reporters that this kind of luck made her sleep at home with her mother who was over 90 years old. It was not until after 3 am that the water rose and she panicked.
Fortunately, at this time, the community cadres who gave the door-to-door warning knocked at the door again. When they saw it, they quickly informed the two people to move out Zhang Niangniang’s household appliances and beds before the flood entered the house.
"At that time, it was not bright, and the scene was very chaotic. I forgot to ask the cadre’s name." Zhang Niangniang said with some loss, "I only remember that he wore a party emblem on his chest!"
Extraordinary floods, which are rare in history, have also attracted a large number of citizens to watch the rising water along the Yangtze River. At about 12 noon on the 19th, the reporter saw in Chaotianmen Square that the down stairs had pulled up the warning line, and the small horn sounded incessantly, but there were still many citizens around the railings around the square to watch the water and take pictures. From time to time, the staff came forward to persuade: "Please don’t lean against the railing to take pictures, it’s dangerous!"
Yuan Biliang, deputy director of Chaotianmen Sub-district Office, said that in order to ensure the safety of people’s lives, the street has deployed all the personnel who can be deployed to watch the water along the river and evacuate the citizens. There are only five watch points around Chaotianmen Square, and more than 100 people are dispatched from streets, communities, volunteers, law enforcement teams and emergency militia. The total number of duty points in Chaotianmen Street is 20, involving 4 communities along the Yangtze River, and the total number of duty staff exceeds 420.
