#头条首发大赛#当洪水来袭, when lives are at stake, who can we rely on? Recently, many places in Henan have suffered heavy rains and floods, and thrilling rescue scenes have been staged. Just a few days ago, the news that 37 people in Tanghe County were trapped in the flood came and touched the hearts of countless people. How did the local police respond to such an emergency? What difficulties were encountered during the rescue process? What lessons does this event teach us? Let's take a look back at this thrilling rescue operation.
At 8:30 a.m. on July 15, the Public Security Bureau of Tanghe County, Henan Province, received an emergency alarm. 37 people from 17 households in the Shengou Group of Sizhuang Village, Tongzhaipu Town, were besieged by the flood, including 2 bedridden elderly people, and their condition was very critical. This is no joke! The Tanghe County Public Security Bureau immediately took action, just like a soldier who heard the rallying call, and quickly organized a patrol SWAT team to rush to the scene with a lifeboat.
The situation on the scene was even worse than expected. The Shengou Formation is located in a low-lying area, and the continuous rainfall has turned it into a large pool. The flood water was pouring in, and the water level was still rising. What a deep ditch this is, it's a huge funnel, and it's about to swallow up the whole village!
Zhang Mingchun, the director of the Tongzhaipu Police Station who arrived first, did not dare to take it lightly. He and his colleagues could only reach the intersection about 500 meters away from the people's homes, and further on, there was a sea of water. Director Zhang's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately contacted the village cadres and found out the location of the village and the road according to the "references" such as submerged corn leaves. This is a real relief and provides important information for the next rescue.
At around 9 a.m., the rescue team, like a well-trained special forces, quickly activated the lifeboat and launched an "attack" on the trapped people. When they arrived at the first house, they saw that the three trapped people had already packed their simple luggage and stood on the roof of the bungalow with umbrellas waiting for rescue. It's like a movie!
However, reality is more brutal than the movie. The water in the village road was no longer up to his chest, and the water was so strong that it was like a wild horse that had gone crazy. It is very difficult for the police officers involved in the rescue to stand or move in the water, as if they were diving into a water ballet. After some hard work, the rescuers finally docked the lifeboat at the staircase of the farmer's bungalow and guided the trapped people one by one from the roof of the bungalow directly through the stairs to board the lifeboat. This scene is almost like playing a live-action version of the game, except that the stakes are much higher!
For the two bedridden elderly people, the police were even more cautious. According to the specific situation of the trapped people, they carried out rescue work in an orderly manner, and did their best to reduce the impact of the transfer on the patient's body. This is saving people, it's like carrying fragile goods!
The lifeboat went back and forth more than 10 times, rescuing three to five people each time. It was not until around 11 o'clock that all 37 trapped people were safely evacuated. The whole process lasted two and a half hours, which is really thrilling and exciting!
Question 1: In the face of sudden disasters, is the grassroots emergency response mechanism perfect?
This rescue operation can be said to be vigorous and swift response. However, we can't help but ask, if it is in a more remote place, will the rescue force be able to arrive in time? In the event of a larger-scale disaster, will our emergency response mechanisms be able to cope with it? Some say the operation reflects the efficiency of the emergency response mechanism at the grassroots level, while others believe that there is room for improvement. What do you think?
Put yourself in your shoes, if you were a grassroots cadre, how would you respond to a sudden disaster? Feeling stressed? In fact, a sound emergency response mechanism is like a safety net, which can give the people the greatest protection in times of crisis.
We can take a look at some of the practices abroad. For example, in Japan, they have a very well-established disaster drill system, and everyone from elementary school students to the elderly knows what to do when a disaster strikes. Perhaps we can learn from this model of universal participation and make everyone part of the emergency response.
To solve this problem, I think we can start from the following aspects: first, strengthen the construction and training of grassroots emergency response teams; Second, improve the early warning system to ensure that information can be conveyed to everyone in a timely and accurate manner; Finally, regular emergency drills should be carried out to improve the awareness and response capacity of the whole people.
Question 2: How to balance efficiency and safety during the rescue process?
In this rescue, we saw rescuers risking their lives in the turbulent current. This makes people wonder how to ensure the safety of rescuers while pursuing rescue efficiency. Some people say that "saving people is important", while others emphasize that "the safety of rescuers is equally important". What do you think about this?
If you were the head of a rescue team, how would you weigh this up? Is the speed of rescue prioritized, or is the safety of rescuers a priority? What a dilemma!
In fact, this problem exists all over the world. For example, in some rescue operations in the United States, they strictly enforce the principle of "two in, two out", that is, two people must accompany each time they enter a dangerous area, and two people must be on standby. Although this practice may affect the speed of rescue, it can ensure the safety of rescuers to the greatest extent.
To solve this problem, I think the following points can be considered: first, strengthen the research and development and equipment of rescue equipment to improve the safety of rescue; secondly, formulate scientific rescue procedures and safety specifications; Finally, strengthen the professional training of rescue personnel to improve their self-protection ability.
Question 3: Are we ready for the rescue of people with reduced mobility?
In this rescue, there were two bedridden elderly people, which brought additional challenges to the rescue work. Are we prepared enough in the face of such a situation? Some say our rescue equipment and skills need to be improved, while others believe that the existing rescue capacity is sufficient for most situations. What do you think?
Imagine if your family member was the one who needed special care, what would you want rescuers to do? Will they be more expected to have professional equipment and skills?
In some developed countries, there are specialized equipment and processes for the rescue of people with reduced mobility. For example, some places are equipped with special rescue vehicles that can lift hospital beds directly, which greatly improves the efficiency of rescue for people with reduced mobility.
To solve this problem, I think we can start from the following aspects: first, establish information files for special groups to facilitate rapid location and rescue in emergencies; secondly, equipped with special rescue equipment, such as collapsible stretchers, wheelchair lifts, etc.; Finally, targeted training for rescuers is provided to improve their ability to deal with special situations.
Question 4: How can the public improve their ability to help themselves and each other?
In this case, we saw that the trapped people had made some preparations while waiting for rescue. However, in the face of sudden disasters, is the ability of ordinary people to help themselves and each other sufficient? Some people say that emergency training for the public should be strengthened, while others think that such a small probability event is not worth the effort. What do you think?
Imagine if you were in a similar situation, do you know what to do? Feeling a little flustered?
In fact, in some countries with frequent natural disasters, the public's ability to help themselves and each other is very strong. For example, in Japan, many people have emergency kits at home, which contain food, drinking water, flashlights and other necessities. This may seem simple, but it can save lives in an emergency.
To improve the public's ability to help themselves and each other, I think we can do the following: first, regularly carry out emergency knowledge training and drills in communities, schools and other places; Second, encourage every family to prepare emergency supplies; Finally, new media platforms are used to widely disseminate emergency knowledge and skills.
From this rescue operation on the Tang River, we can see that sudden disasters are not only a test of the government's emergency response capabilities, but also a test of the ability of the whole society to cope with crises. It reflects that there are still some problems in the construction of the emergency management system, the difference between urban and rural infrastructure, and the care of special groups. For example, are our urban drainage systems able to cope with extreme weather? Do rural areas need to improve their capacity for disaster preparedness and mitigation? Do we have a complete rescue plan for special groups such as the elderly and the disabled? These questions are worth pondering.
In the face of this thrilling rescue, we must not only praise the bravery of the rescuers, but also reflect on the shortcomings of our emergency response system. For the government, it is necessary to further improve the emergency plan and strengthen the construction of infrastructure; For social organizations, it is necessary to actively participate in disaster prevention and mitigation work; For the general public, it is necessary to raise awareness of disaster prevention and learn basic knowledge of self-help and mutual rescue.
Finally, I would like to ask you a question: What else can we do to improve our ability to respond to natural disasters in today's era of extreme weather? This is a question worth thinking about for everyone. After all, security is not a one-person affair, but requires the joint efforts of the whole society.
