Paris 2010 plot synopsis

Every century, Paris will suffer from a serious flood. The one in 1910 was the most serious. The flood affected 200,000 people and caused losses of 1 billion euros. To this end, Paris has introduced an emergency plan. Time entered February 2010, and it had been raining non-stop for two weeks. At 8 a.m. on February 20, in the Grand Morin River, 100 kilometers away from Paris, the water flow rate had reached a dangerous 170 cubic meters per second, and the water level of the Seine River had also risen to 5.52 meters. The emergency committee held a press conference and announced An orange flood alert was issued, and it said that judging from the current situation, the weather showed no signs of improving, which means that the water level of the Seine River will continue to rise. Agnes Marchand, acting director of the Paris Defense Zone, announced the launch of an emergency flood response plan. People began to speculate whether Paris would suffer the same tragic situation as in 1910 again. However, government departments have repeatedly stated that they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and there will never be a flood that inundates the whole city, and an emergency flood prevention planning team has been established. This is a group composed of the Paris Ministry of Transport, French Railways, and EDF As well as organizations composed of many members such as France Telecom, these state-owned or private companies have their own defense plans, but the implementation of each plan is restricted by each other to varying degrees. Therefore, if you want to tide over the difficulties, all departments must cooperate , protect people, protect railways, protect existing buildings. If the rains continue, the water from all the tributaries upstream of Paris will flow into the Seine like a funnel. At that time, a terrible scene like the great flood of 1910 will inevitably happen again. Parisian citizens have always used the soldier statues on the piers of the Pont de l'Almain as a reference for the rising water level of the Seine River. The normal water level of the Seine River should be 2 meters. In this case, the soldiers' feet were dry. In 2001, the water level was higher. The soldier's ankle reached 5.21 meters. In 1955, the water level reached 7.1 meters, rising to the soldier's thigh. In 1910, the soldier's whole body was submerged, with only his shoulders and head exposed above the water. The water level at that time was 8.62 meters. Generally speaking, when the water level reaches 5.5 meters, which means that the soldiers' calves are submerged, the flood prevention plan will be activated. On the afternoon of February 20, as the water level continued to rise, the mayor made a public announcement advising citizens to prepare candles, matches or lighters, spare batteries, buckets and other daily necessities to deal with possible disasters. But for the citizens of Paris, flooding is like a fantasy, and they believe that this kind of thing will never happen again. Because they don’t understand what kind of harm flooding will bring to Paris. Maybe the continuous rain will not flood Paris all of a sudden, but as the water level of the Seine River quietly rises, it will invade the city’s underground system, which will bring The disaster will be immeasurable. As a result, the government began to organize various forces to deal with possible floods. At the same time, people were quietly looking forward to the rain stopping, but disaster inevitably struck, and the whole of Paris fell into chaos and panic.

On February 22, the rain finally stopped, but the disaster did not stop. After two days of chaos, Paris woke up from a hangover. Every gap in the road was filled with water, and the storm The deafening sound has been replaced by silence, but all roads are gone, and central Paris presents a post-apocalyptic scene. 65,000 people have been admitted to shelters, and in the following days, this number will increase again. Quadrupled. The government began to provide post-disaster relief.
