Liulin Town, Hubei Province was hit by a torrential rain, and more than 8,000 people were affected. What is the current situation?

According to the latest news reports, we can know that Liulin in Suizhou, Hubei Province suffered a torrential rain disaster and more than 8,000 people were injured. From the early morning of August 12, heavy rainfall occurred in Liulin Town, Hubei Province. The rain was not only sudden, but also large and fierce. Most of them occur during the sleeping hours of the masses, which brings certain hidden dangers to nearby residents. People don't feel danger when they are asleep, which makes the present situation more urgent.

I. Status quo According to relevant reports, in the early morning of August 12, the rainfall has reached more than 370 mm, and the cumulative rainfall has reached 503 mm, which is the largest since the local meteorological record. The depth of accumulated water has also been increasing, reaching the deepest point of 5 meters. This will cause great losses to local residents in this disaster. While causing casualties, it will also bring certain losses to the local economy. Moreover, it involves a wide range, which increases the rescue difficulty of rescuers.

Second, related reasons This flood can be analyzed from objective reasons and other reasons. First, there are some objective reasons. Liulin town is relatively low in terrain and surrounded by mountains on three sides. 12 In the early morning of August, the rainfall continued to increase, which belonged to some objective reasons and the people could not change it. At that time, the Liulin town government organized relevant staff to shout and knock on the door in the street to transfer most of the people. At about 3 am, the local police station also urgently transferred some people, which also reduced casualties to some extent.

Third, reasonable prevention Although we can't reduce these natural disasters, we can do some preventive work to reduce casualties and property losses. For example, the staff of the meteorological bureau can report it before this. For some heavy rainfall or other weather, it is necessary to report to the masses in time and do some emergency transfer work. In this process, people should also make psychological and other preparations to avoid reducing efficiency in the transfer process.
