How does Macao cope with the continuous rainstorm and seawater intrusion in the inner harbor?

According to the website of the Macao SAR government, many low-lying areas were flooded due to the astronomical tide and continuous heavy rain. Chui Sai On, Chief Executive of the Macao SAR, has instructed relevant departments to do a good job in mitigating the impact of floods.

According to reports, personnel from the Maritime Water Affairs Bureau and the National Land Engineering and Transportation Bureau went to the Inner Harbor Wharf on the morning of July 15 to find out the situation, and thought that the main reason for flooding was that the seawater level was higher than the road surface, which led to seawater backflow from the canal mouth.

Before the astronomical tide came, the civil affairs department had checked the operation of the drainage pipe network and pump house in advance, and the related facilities were operating normally. In view of the phenomenon of seawater backflow in the inner port, the civil affairs department sent personnel to inspect the flooding situation in the inner port in real time and check the operation of the drainage pipe network. At the same time, the rainwater pumping station of Linmao seaside highway was started to drain the accumulated water in Xinqiao, Goldstein and Assistant General Road of the United States.

In addition, the water level monitoring station in the inner port once broke down, and the civil affairs department sent personnel to follow up in real time, and the emergency repair work was completed on the morning of 15. At present, the three water level monitoring stations in Neigang are operating normally.

On June 5438+05, the labor inspector of the Labor Bureau also visited the construction sites in Xiahuan District and Neigang to check the occupational safety and health work. As the rainy season has come, the Labor Bureau has called on outdoor operating institutions such as construction sites to pay attention to the weather forecast and do a good job in occupational safety and health. At the same time, it also calls on businesses to pay attention to electricity safety.

The Education and Youth Bureau of the Macao SAR Government has contacted schools in Xia Huan Street, Shalitou, Chopsticks Base and Taishan District, expressing concern and understanding that there are no special circumstances in the schools. The Education and Youth Bureau has informed schools to take preventive measures and provide necessary support.

The Social Welfare Bureau is very concerned about the flooding caused by the recent rainstorm. The SWB has taken the initiative to maintain close contact with major social service organizations, paying special attention to social service facilities and service users in low-lying areas. As of noon 1, we have not received any reports of damage or serious flooding and asked for help.
