The mountain torrents in Pengzhou, Sichuan have caused 4 deaths and 9 injuries! What does this give us?

According to the emergency management department of Pengzhou, the flash flood in Longcaogou, Pengzhou was triggered by short-term heavy rainfall in the upper reaches. Tragedy could have been avoided. According to the report, the interval between the forecast of short-term heavy rainfall in the upper reaches and the occurrence of flash floods is as long as 3 hours. Moreover, after the local area received the rainfall forecast, the emergency organization personnel persuaded the people who were playing in the water. But unfortunately, it may be because the weather is too hot, some people are too focused on playing in the water, ignoring the coming danger and delaying the opportunity to evacuate.

Every year, similar disasters are prone to occur in famous mountains and rivers, such as Yamaguchi and Meiyukou, because:

First, summer and autumn often appear? There are different days in the mountains, sunrise in the east and rain in the west. ? The weather phenomena in Yamaguchi and Meiyukou are often sunny and sunny, but there are likely to be heavy rain and rainstorm in mountainous areas and upper reaches of rivers. Although the distance is only ten miles and eight miles, we can't feel it at Yamaguchi and Meiyukou. When the floods in the upper reaches of the mountain converge, pour down and rush to our side, we just want to escape. At this moment, it is too late.

Second, the mountain is steep. In summer and autumn, there are mostly thunderstorms. This kind of rain comes quickly, with heavy rainfall, strong destructiveness and strong impact, which is easy to form mountain torrents. Mountain torrents are often fierce, and people who play in the river to enjoy the cool have no time to react. When they saw the flood, it was in front of them, and those who were playing in the water and enjoying the cool had no time to escape.

Third, during this period, most areas, especially the Sichuan Basin, have hot weather, high humidity and high temperature. Like the steamer in the city, many families have cars, and it has become a fashion to enjoy the cool outdoors on the mountain and by the stream. Safety awareness is indifferent, only thinking about enjoying the cool, how can we think of floods, so this happened.

This incident has taught us a painful lesson. It tells us that in summer and autumn, we must have a sense of flood control, think everything, and never forget safety for the sake of temporary coolness.
