Does the rainstorm in Liangshan lead to flash floods? Has the rainstorm in Mianning, Sichuan caused 16 deaths?

Recently, Mianning County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province suffered a torrential rain, which eventually triggered flash floods and killed many people. However, with the help of firefighters and other staff, people who were killed by flash floods were effectively rescued and protected.

From June 26, 2020 to now, heavy rains and flash floods have destroyed houses and farmland, and the original river course has been unable to withstand the impact of heavy rains and flash floods, so the local government sent firefighters and excavators to carry out local rescue, clean up the river course and rescue the people. Dredge the original river with an excavator to reduce the more serious consequences in the next disaster. In the disaster area now, blue houses have been built as temporary shelters.

From summer to now, in a short period of time, China has suffered many natural disasters, such as rainstorm, mountain torrents and mudslides. We should improve our awareness of judging these natural disasters and how to deal with these sudden natural disasters.

First of all, in order to improve the ability to judge the occurrence of natural disasters such as heavy rains and flash floods, we must first form a good habit of watching weather forecasts every day. In addition, we also need to accurately judge the abnormal phenomena in the surrounding environment before natural disasters such as heavy rain and flash floods occur. For example, we can see that the water flow in the river suddenly increases, and some branches of trees can be found in the water, or the water flow suddenly stops, indicating that natural disasters such as mudslides have occurred in the upper reaches of the river.

There is another way to judge, we can listen carefully to whether there is a rumbling sound or a thunder-like sound coming from the valley, whether it is a loud noise or only a weak sound, which is a precursor to mudslides. In addition, if there is a rumble in the depths of the valley, it is accompanied by dark weather, which is also a precursor to mudslides.

If the above phenomenon is found, you can plan your escape route in advance. If natural disasters such as mudslides and flash floods have occurred in our residence, we should run in the direction perpendicular to the direction of mudslides, and don't covet property in the process, and get in touch with relevant departments as soon as possible after fleeing to a relatively safe place.
