The flood blocked the bridge in Leshan, Sichuan, did it cause any casualties?

2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. Since the beginning of the year, mankind has been facing the challenge of COVID-19. So far, we have not defeated it. Then, as summer entered, continuous heavy rains began in the south, causing early floods, mudslides and even landslides.

Leshan, Sichuan, was also hit by floods, and the flood even swallowed up half of the Wutong Bridge. Judging from the aerial pictures, half of the bridge was exposed and the other half was submerged in the water. Firefighters drove lifeboats to continuously transfer trapped people. Fortunately, there were floods everywhere these days, so everyone’s travel rate was also reduced, so there were relatively few people on the bridge at that time, and there were no casualties. The trapped personnel will soon be rescued to safety.

Human beings are insignificant in the face of nature. In the face of sudden natural disasters, we have no way to resist. All we can do is predict and then move early. In the face of frequent extreme weather, people in the south should learn as much as possible about the basic knowledge of flood disaster prevention and have the most basic self-rescue and escape skills.

1. First of all, in the summer, I didn’t pay much attention to the weather forecast and took some preventive measures based on the weather forecast. Even because of recent frequent floods, you can prepare some food, water, lighters, etc. in advance, just in case something unexpected happens, you can use these to escape.

2. When the red flood comes, we actually need to move to higher places quickly, such as climbing to the roof of a building, a big tree, or a high wall. If we are in a rural area, we must Run to places such as hillsides and highlands.

3. If we find that the flood continues to rise, and there is no way to protect ourselves in the place where we are temporarily sheltering, we will need to find some escape equipment, such as door panels, tables and chairs, large pieces of foam, etc. Etc., items with a certain degree of buoyancy, which can help us float on the water if the flood submerges us.

4. If we are surrounded by floods or even involved in floods, we must not panic. If you are surrounded by floods, you can try your best to contact the local government. Or waiting for rescue. But do not swim to escape, let alone climb live telephone poles, as this is extremely easy to cause death by electrocution. If you are involved in floods, grab as much as possible, something that can be fixed or floating. You must have a strong sense of survival and wait for the arrival of the rescue team.

In fact, human beings are too insignificant in the face of natural disasters. Even if timely rescue is possible, once a severe geological disaster occurs, human death will inevitably occur. The gradual increase in extreme weather is actually nature's warning to humans again and again, hoping that humans can live in harmony with nature. Instead of blindly asking for, blindly conquering. Until now, we have not discovered that the second lesson is a planet inhabited by humans, so we must get along well with the earth.
