When floods hit Chengdu, what impact will it have on the lives of local residents?

This year, as heavy rains and typhoons passed through large areas, they also affected inland areas. Water levels in the Yangtze River Basin have risen sharply. A flood peak has even formed. For a flood peak, we must first understand the concept, what a flood peak is, the harm caused by a flood peak, and how to prevent the harm caused by a flood peak.

Flood peak flow is the maximum flow rate during a flood. It is used when planning river sections, designing hydraulic structures, and operating hydraulic structures. It can be calculated and analyzed. However, if this value is not grasped accurately, it will cause dangers such as flood disasters. This time, the flood peak in Chengdu reached Jintang County, Chengdu City on August 17, and Jintang County also experienced the second largest flood peak since 1949.

This time the flood peak in Chengdu caused a lot of economic losses and dangers to the residents of Chengdu. First of all, a large number of houses collapsed or were washed away, cars were submerged, and affected by heavy rainfall, the water level Continuously rising, coupled with the passing of flood peaks. Many residential buildings were destroyed by floods, their walls were soaked, and their houses collapsed, making them uninhabitable. Many residents had to take their relatives and belongings away from the place where they lived for a long time and seek shelter in some temporarily safe areas. And more residents were trapped in their own homes and had to climb to the roof or high places around the house. Waiting for rescue.

The second reason is that the rising water level has submerged a large number of roads, and many residents have been trapped, and even the place where they are has become an "isolated island in the water". During the flood peak in Chengdu, a square on Xuefu Avenue in Jintang County, among which The deepest water level reached 1 meter. Many people were trapped in the water and could not take shelter in buildings for fear of their houses collapsing. Some people climbed trees to wait for rescue, while some people prepared kayaks for those trapped in the building. People offered help, and some even drove an excavator to rescue people.

Lastly, because the residents were trapped, food and food could not be delivered quickly. Feeding many trapped people was a big problem. In addition, the community was flooded, the water level rose, and many areas experienced power and water outages. , people in residential buildings do not have enough water and food, and they cannot go out to find food. Stay at home and wait for rescue. The passing of flood peaks has caused us a lot of inconvenience and harm.

But what we see more is the rapid rescue of officers and soldiers, the full rescue of trapped people, delivering water and food to trapped people, helping people eliminate hidden dangers caused by water, etc. I believe these We are all conquerable.
