Chapter 711: Textbook Emergency Operations (Chapter 2)

In the middle of the night, a shrill and shrill siren suddenly sounded in the government building in the center of Tianhai. As an international metropolis, Tianhai is a city that never sleeps, even at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, there is no shortage of pedestrians on the street, and the sudden sound of sirens makes everyone feel at a loss, and many people stop to watch.

At this time, the screen of all the outdoor advertising electronic screens in the city suddenly turned, and a scene similar to a press conference and a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared on the electronic screen. People who are familiar with Tianhai officialdom know this person, he is Kong Nanhai, the executive vice mayor of Tianhai City.

Just when everyone didn't know why, Kong Nanhai said loudly through the electronic screen: "Hello citizens, I am Kong Nanhai, executive vice mayor of Tianhai City, it is 0:09 on March 22, and now I want to inform you of an urgent matter." After the supervision of our Tianhai meteorological, maritime, fishery and other departments, 30 seconds ago, a tsunami occurred 1646 nautical miles east of our city, the specific cause is unknown, and now the tsunami is rushing to the east coast of Tianhai at a very fast speed. Comrade An Ping, secretary of the municipal party committee, decided to activate the emergency plan for natural disasters and now orders all personnel within 30 kilometers of the coast to be evacuated to the resettlement sites for the victims of the disaster in the city in an orderly manner. Traffic control will be implemented in the city from now on, and all police officers will be dispatched immediately to maintain law and order, and all citizens are requested to cooperate. Again, this is not a drill or a drill, disaster is really coming! ”

At the same time, the programs that were being broadcast on channels such as Tianhai Satellite TV and Tianhai Radio were suddenly cut off, and then they were forced to cut into Kong Nanhai's televised speech. And the phones of various departments in Tianhai rang at the first time, and one by one orders were conveyed in an orderly manner. The convoy and staff, which had long been ready to go, rushed to the coast. The staff stationed in various factories and villages also immediately approached the local leaders and told them that the disaster had really happened. They were asked to immediately organize a retreat of the population.

The whole Tianhai was taken aback by the sudden news, and after a short period of silence, everyone panicked. No one thinks it's the city government playing a joke on them. The city government will not joke with them in this way at this time, because the consequences are so strict that even if all the officials of Tianhai take off their hats, they cannot afford such responsibility. Besides, there has never been such a thing before, and since the city government has said so, then it must be true.

Suddenly, everyone was in a hurry, although the city government only said that the residents within 30 kilometers of the coast should be evacuated, and the tsunami was still more than 1,000 nautical miles away, but everyone did not dare to take it lightly. The dangers of the tsunami and the impact on them are clear, more than a thousand nautical miles seem far away. But it is important to know that a tsunami still has the ability to rush to the shore and destroy a building on the shore after traveling thousands of kilometers.

In addition, a tsunami can only occur if it is an earthquake in Haiti, and it can only occur if the magnitude reaches 8 or higher, and no one can guarantee that the earthquake will not affect Tianhai. In addition, the explosion of a nuclear bomb can also trigger a large-scale tsunami, and the period, wavelength and propagation speed of an earthquake tsunami are tens or hundreds of times larger than that of wind-driven waves. As a result, the propagation characteristics of a tsunami and its impact on the coast are very different from those of wind-driven waves. The wavelength of the average ocean wave is a few meters to tens of meters, and the wavelength period is about a few seconds. The movement speed is also slow. However, the wavelength of the tsunami is larger than the depth of the ocean where the tsunami is formed, generally tens to hundreds of kilometers long, and the tsunami period is as high as hundreds or even thousands of seconds. The propagation speed can reach 160 to 250 meters per second, or 600 to 900 kilometers per hour. Roughly equivalent to the speed of a commercial jet. The long period, long wavelength and high-speed propagation characteristics of the tsunami have formed its huge destructive power.

The most important thing is that it has only been more than a decade since the memory of the first tsunami of the new century, and although it occurred in a small country in Southeast Asia, the death toll still exceeds 300,000. More than a million people were injured, and how can such a horrific casualty not be feared. The scene of the tsunami was recorded. It is still on the video site. When the tsunami hits the villages and cities on the shore, the fields and buildings are thrown into the muddy waters in an instant. And then it was gone. People roared at the crest of the waves, and even though more than ten years of time and space had passed, many people seemed to be able to see their faces of despair twisted with pain.

However, when people ran out of their homes in a panic, they found that the situation was not as bad as they had imagined, and although there were a large number of pedestrians pouring out of the streets, there was no chaos at all. A large number of military and police officers stood in the streets and intersections with loaded guns, and large military green trucks roared past and rushed to the east. It was known that the cars were heading to the East Coast and were heading towards the Grim Reaper's territory, and although they didn't know the soldiers in the cars, everyone prayed for them at this moment, praying that the young soldiers would come back safely.

Despite the sound of sirens throughout the city, all the evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner, and all the staff members were doing their jobs without the slightest panic. At this moment, people suddenly thought of a person, the secretary of the municipal party committee who had disgusted and hated them some time ago, if it weren't for him, would they have been able to get the news in 30 seconds when disaster struck? The answer is clearly no, people think a lot at this moment!

Although it was late at night, all the street lights in the entire Tianhai were not extinguished. And this time, the government does not seem to be controlling the news, and all the electronic screens outdoors have been broadcasting emergency measures in real time, and orders have been issued to various departments under the attention of citizens. If people didn't know that natural disasters like tsunamis were not something that people could control and create at will, everyone would think that this was a government-led show.

Two hours later, the tsunami arrived as promised. Through the footage taken from the helicopter at high altitude, people can see huge waves rushing over the embankment to the shore, all the facilities of the port disappear in an instant, and the washed away buildings are swept away under the ransacking of the waves! The huge waves rushed across the coast to the eastern outskirts of the sky and sea, and villages were swallowed up and fields were washed away, and the huge destructive power stunned everyone!

Just when people were worried about the extent of the damage caused by the disaster, the secretary of the University of Ontario informed the whole city on television that although the tsunami was extremely powerful, due to the timely monitoring and the early existence of the emergency plan for natural disasters, all personnel were evacuated before the disaster came, so the tsunami did not cause casualties to Tianhai. But economic losses were inevitable, and almost all factories and ports along the coast were destroyed, and the exact losses needed to be counted after dawn.

However, at this time, people do not account for property losses, compared to money, life safety is the most important thing at this moment. I don't know who was the first to start clapping his palms, but there was sparse applause in the streets, and after a few minutes, the people standing on the street seemed to be infected, and the applause began to be enthusiastic. After more than ten minutes, the applause became louder and louder, and millions of Tianhai people on the street spontaneously applauded, and the huge sound set off by millions of applause moved all the people.

The feelings of the common people are the most simple, whoever is good to them will be good to whom, and whoever really thinks about them, they will thank whom. Perhaps they may remain silent in the face of corrupt officials, because they know that their arms can't twist their thighs. But when a hero is seen, no one turns a blind eye, and applause, although the cheapest way to thank you, is better than 10,000 taels of gold.

In the office of the city government, the huge screen on the wall of Tongguò saw the actions of the people, and this moment including everyone was moved. For many years, they have rarely seen the people thank a local government with such direct actions, and at this moment they have a much deeper understanding of the phrase governing for the people.

Anping's eyes were red, how many nights he was awakened in his sleep, and the lives of tens of millions of people were in his hands. But this kind of thing he just listened to his son-in-law casually, and there was no substantive evidence, so he couldn't discuss it at the meeting. If he told others that during this time, there might be a catastrophe in our heavens, even if he was the leader of Tianhai, no one would believe it. As an old fritter who has been in officialdom for decades, Anping knows that it is most appropriate for him to remain silent at this time, because no one can predict natural disasters, and if it really comes, people will not say anything, and his superiors will not hold him accountable.

But the matter is too serious, and his conscience tells him that he cannot be indifferent, and he cannot act as if he does not know what to do, which is dereliction of duty and crime. He did what he was supposed to do, but because of the big movements, he was under a lot of pressure that ordinary people could not bear. But at this moment, hearing the heartfelt applause of millions of people in Tianhai for themselves and the entire Tianhai government, An Ping felt that all the grievances he had suffered during this time were worth it.

In today's world, information is so developed, almost at the same time as the tsunami occurred in Tianhai, the world's major countries have received the news, and many people are worried about how much pain Huaxia will endure this time, and how many people will die. But when they received the detailed report from the reporter in China, everyone was stunned, and everyone exclaimed that it was impossible, but it was the real thing.

"This is an almost perfect disaster relief operation, a local government notified all the people 30 seconds after the disaster, and then through a series of action plans that have been formulated for a long time, tens of thousands of police and soldiers evacuated more than a million people within two hours, saving everyone's lives efficiently and quickly, and Huaxia has taught all countries a lesson in the early warning of natural disasters and emergency self-rescue!" The Times commented.

"A local government, a plan, and an army saved millions of lives in the most efficient way when a natural disaster struck, and the Chinese government's performance in this disaster was almost perfect, and this operation will surely become a textbook for emergency rescue in all countries." The Washington Post commented
