Chapter 230: Emergency Response

According to the feedback from the railway department, the power supply of the main railway line of the Tongguò Beihu Railway was interrupted, and many passenger trains arriving at the railway were delayed. Although the railway department quickly organized emergency repair crews to make emergency repairs, the power supply system was restored a few hours later.

Originally, the railway thought that the power supply of the railway electric locomotive was no problem, because the railway in order to ensure the safety of electricity, are two or more sets of power supply systems, it should be no problem, I didn't expect the scope to be so large this time, caught off guard, there is still a problem, with this power outage, because the snow is too big, whether there will be problems next, the railway department has no bottom in his heart, which makes Lu Zhengdong feel nervous.

The situation of electricity, telecommunications, road transportation, etc. is still converging, but the situation is not optimistic.

The following places are basically connected, and the overall situation is not optimistic, and Jiaoyun City due to the failure of the telephone line, the mobile phone signal is not very good, Lu Zhengdong and Yang Liuguang, secretary of the municipal party committee, talk intermittently, and many words are not heard clearly at all.

After Lu Zhengdong had a general understanding of the situation, he asked the duty room to continue to contact Jiao Yun, and then drove to the provincial traffic command center, where he listened to the reports of various departments in the province and deployed the work, because there was monitoring, not only could he intuitively understand the operation of the main roads in the province, but also intuitively feel the snowfall in various places.

The traffic command center of the provincial public security department in the province is not far from the provincial party committee, sitting in the car, Lu Zhengdong looked out the window, there are many children of all sizes frolicking on the side of the road, and even there are adults in the figure, as a city that rarely snows, such a big snow is probably the first time in many people's lives. It doesn't bring people panic. Opposite. It's a rare view.

Looking at the frolicking of people outside the window and listening to the laughter outside, Lu Zhengdong's brows furrowed more and more......

But it took Lu Zhengdong half an hour in the past, and it took more than an hour for the other relevant personnel to arrive.

From here, it can also be seen that although the provincial capital has also made some plans, and the main roads are also being cleaned, it is obvious that there is a lack of machinery and equipment for large-scale snow clearing, and it is mainly carried out manually. Lu Zhengdong also frowned, as a city that rarely snows, it is indeed difficult for you to prepare enough snow clearing equipment for them.

It can also be seen that the task of fighting against snow disasters is very arduous.

After arriving at the Provincial Traffic Command Center. Lu Zhengdong first listened to the report of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau:

"A warm and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean Bay of Bengal strongly northward, in the sky over Hunan and the continental high confront, the formation of a stable 'reverse humidity layer', coupled with the influence of the 'La Niña' phenomenon, resulting in a rare extreme abnormal climate event in Bei Lake, 15 counties and cities in the province 15 prefectures and prefectures have been affected by extreme weather of ice and snow, of which 74 counties and cities have reached severe freezing. Sixty-five counties and municipalities have reached the severe cold standard. According to the joint consultation between the Central Meteorological Observatory and the Provincial Meteorological Observatory, we judge that this climate will last for nearly ten days. According to what we know, this is the largest snowfall and cooling process in the history of Beihu Lake, and probably the longest last. ”

Lu Zhengdong knew all this, so he didn't say anything, and signaled the person in charge of the Provincial Traffic Management Bureau to report the road traffic situation.

"At present, most of the highways in the province are slow, and many sections of the province have begun to freeze......

"Road closures?"

Yang Kaixuan, the director of the Provincial Traffic Management Bureau, who was originally a little complacent, saw Lu Zhengdong ask with a calm face, his heart sank, and he stammered a little:

"According to the regulations, according to the weather and road traffic conditions, the traffic management department can close the road, and at the moment, it is very unsafe to drive......

Yang Kaixuan explained cautiously.

"My comrade director, that's normal, it's an extraordinary time, it's the Spring Festival, how many cars are there on the highway? How many people are there? You have closed the highway in this way, saving trouble is saving trouble, but this is tantamount to cutting off the main artery of the province, not to mention this, just now the comrades of the Meteorological Bureau said, this kind of weather will continue for a while, so long is stranded on the highway so many cars, people want to eat, to keep out the cold, what should I do? ”

Lu Zhengdong also knows that the highway is too arbitrary, and the road will be closed as soon as there is a fog and other minor problems. However, this is a problem in the system, whether to block the road or not, the public security and transportation department decides, the toll collection is managed by the highway operation department, and the highway maintenance is another department, which involves some interest issues.

"The purpose of the traffic management department's road closure is to ensure safety, so is it okay to do it another way? All kinds of measures have been taken to ensure that the highway is even barely walkable, even if it is a few kilometers per hour, ten kilometers is better than stopping there. As long as the traffic is maintained, not only the exhaust wheel rolling can melt the snow, the heat of the vehicle slowing down, and the measures such as snow deceleration should be possible, so that at least it can ensure that the car on the highway is now diverted to the service station or city and town along the line, but we are a road, the snow will accumulate, and the ice will be frozen on the ice, and the frozen ice will be broken, the more it freezes, the thicker it is, it will be difficult to shovel it, and the weather will last for about a week. I just got the news about the railway, and the situation on their side is not optimistic, if the railway is not working, and the highway is short, then the situation is really too bad to be worse! Therefore, no matter what way you think of the highway, it must be passable! ”

Lu Zhengdong knew very well that the railway had almost come to a halt in this freezing disaster, and if the highway was completely interrupted because of the thick ice, then Beihu Province would really be staring dry.

"I completely agree with Secretary Zhengdong's opinion, many comrades are still working according to the original inertia and have not entered the state of emergency response. No matter what method is used, the expressway must also ensure basic traffic and realize diversion! ”

Governor Yu Jiangyou took over Lu Zhengdong's words, in fact, he has always been very disagreeable to Lu Zhengdong's emphasis on preventing disasters caused by ice and snow weather, let alone paying attention to and entering the state. I also got the following debriefing. The disaster situation is not optimistic.

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"Low temperatures, snow disasters, freezing and other disasters occur at the same time. And it is during the Spring Festival, the superposition effect of disasters leads to the impact of low temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters to further aggravate, from the current preliminary grasp of the situation, has reached the standard of extraordinarily large meteorological disasters, I build yì province to start a first-level emergency response, mobilize the province's forces for disaster relief, start sudden meteorological disaster early warning, disposal of large-scale power outages, natural disaster relief, refined oil supply security, daily necessities market supply, food supply, water and gas supply, highway traffic emergencies and other more than 10 emergency plans, And in accordance with the relevant requirements of the plan. At the same time, the provincial party committee and the provincial government should set up a working group to go to the affected areas to guide the disaster prevention and relief work, and firmly grasp the initiative in dealing with the ice and snow disaster. The specific deployment will be studied and implemented by the provincial government. ”

"Set up an emergency command center, divided into traffic safety, power supply, smooth communications, coal, electricity and oil transportation, market supply and rural disaster relief six guarantee working groups, each by a provincial leader is responsible for the overall command and dispatch of the province's anti-ice disaster relief work. Chunks are responsible. It is very necessary for each to do its own thing. At present, the segregated management method of different departments and different types of disasters is our main method. However, this disaster is not only a snow disaster, this heavy snow comes, transportation is a problem, electricity is a problem, communication is also a problem, life is also a problem, a variety of contradictions are intertwined, and finally everything is wrong, this is very rare, this time just tested the coordination function of our government management department, it is not enough to rely on a single department, there must be a strong department to coordinate the organization, to have authority, It is much better to be able to represent the provincial party committee and the provincial government to fully coordinate the various departments of the province and the localities below, rather than to set up a temporary command center. The temporary establishment of the emergency command office for coal, electricity and oil transportation is mainly to solve some problems of coal, electricity and oil transportation, but in fact, it does not include the part of the people's life, including the problems that non-governmental organizations cannot work hard, and it does not have the energy to take care of it. In my opinion, it is based on the emergency response office, and the leading members still ask Governor Jiangyou to take charge......"

Lu Zhengdong is well aware that the domestic disaster relief system is a top-down control system, and generally speaking, this system will respond relatively quickly in the face of disasters because of the concentration of power.

But this system lacks initiative, and it needs to wait for the above to be laid out before it can be done. However, superiors need to get feedback from subordinates before they can make deployments, so a strong, authoritative, and efficient leadership and coordination body is very necessary.

Originally, it was more appropriate for the executive vice governor to be in charge of such a thing, but the executive vice governor of Beihu Province has not yet been appointed by the central government, and the vice governor in charge of the province is not enough, so Yu Jiangyou can only be in charge.

"Well, the provincial emergency command has an office, which is coordinated by several secretaries-general of the provincial government, and takes the lead in forming a coordination group, an information group, and a comprehensive group, which is responsible for handling the daily work of the headquarters. The headquarters office must work at a fast pace and high efficiency, break the routine, and do things urgently......"

Yu Jiangyou talked about a lot of measures in one breath, he was not only secretly glad in his heart, but fortunately it was the Spring Festival, which was actually a plan to ensure the Spring Festival, and now he directly got it to deal with this snow disaster, otherwise this time he would be a little embarrassed and passive - after all, in terms of division of labor, the specific work of disaster relief is on the side of the provincial government, and if you can't even come up with a few measures, it will be a little unsightly.

Lu Zhengdong naturally knew Yu Jiangyou's thoughts, and he didn't break it, and was about to continue, when Jiang Yubai, deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, walked in quickly.

"Secretary Zhengdong, Governor Jiangyou, Jiao Yun got in touch, they reported that the situation was more severe, due to the heavy snow, the high-voltage line tower base of Jiaoyun power system, many poles collapsed and broken, and Jiao Yun and the external power grid were all interrupted; The base station of wireless communication was also damaged; Extremely low temperatures, many water pipes have burst......, and these infrastructure facilities have been damaged, and the city has been cut off from water, electricity, and gas, and communication is not smooth...... The Jiaoyun section of Ziyun Expressway is icy in a large area and cannot be effectively passed, and a large number of vehicles are currently stranded on the highway; The railway has also been completely cut off from power again, and a large number of passengers are also stranded in the Jiaoyun section. At present, the Jiaoyun Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have been fully mobilized. Start Disaster Relief ......"

"Huh? Hasn't Jiaoyun become an island? ”

"It's so bad?"

Lu Zhengdong and Yu Jiangyou said almost at the same time. They were all a little surprised, but the things that were surprised were different, in Lu Zhengdong's memory, Jiao Yun did not appear in such a situation, and Yu Jiangyou was completely unprepared.

But one thing is the same, that is, Jiaoyun is also a major transportation hub in Beihu in addition to the provincial capital and Anxin, and a railway and a highway running through the country pass through Jiaoyun, and Jiaoyun is severely affected. It also means that these two major arteries may be severed, which means what it means for the Spring Festival transportation period, Lu Zhengdong and Yu Jiangyou are self-explanatory.

"It seems that the situation is more dire than we expected. Jiaoyun should be the hardest-hit area of this snowstorm, immediately contact the garrison, ask for their support, the armed police force and the armed police hydropower unit in Bei should immediately go deep into the hard-hit area to carry out rescue, and in addition to the cities and prefectures affected by the snowstorm, the safety of the lives of the people in the large number of vehicles stranded on the railway and high-speed kilometers is also facing a serious threat. Organize cadres and the masses to send medical treatment, medicine and food, and set up aid stations for free placement. It is necessary to make sure that no one freezes to death, no one starves......"

Lu Zhengdong groaned slightly and continued:

"Party committees and governments at all levels in the province must resolutely follow the arrangements and requirements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and take ice fighting and disaster relief as a top priority. Leading cadres at all levels should go deep into the front line, take the resolution of the masses' distress as their first responsibility in the spirit of being highly responsible for the safety of the people's lives and property, and go to the forefront of the anti-ice and disaster relief work to direct the anti-disaster work. After we have figured out the situation, we will also go down and take command. ”

"In the face of the grim situation, we truthfully reported the disaster situation in our province to the Central Government and the State Council, and asked them to lead and unify the command of the disaster relief in Beihu, and request the support and help of relevant ministries and commissions......"

"This, what is reported below is just a very preliminary thing, isn't it slowing down, and then talking about it when the situation is more fully grasped?"

Yu Jiangyou asked with a deep groan. He was worried that the movement would be too loud, and in the end, the following situation did not match, so it would be very passive.

"Just like the mentality of you and me, the people below are even more good news and not bad news, the situation will not be good, this kind of thing is better the sooner you seek support from above......"

As soon as the emergency meeting was over, the huge state machine was up and running. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government held a teleconference on anti-ice disaster relief to make comprehensive arrangements for the anti-ice disaster relief work, and television and radio stations also interrupted their normal programs and began to broadcast reports on the anti-ice disaster relief by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government......

In this snowstorm, many power grids in the province collapsed, roads were blocked, and it coincided with the Spring Festival transportation period when the majority of migrant workers wanted to return to their hometowns for the New Year, and the disaster situation was very strict.

After grasping the situation and making arrangements for the work, Lu Zhengdong also went down to the front line to understand the situation on the spot, because all roads were still in the process of being opened, Lu Zhengdong could only go to Jinhe City, which was not far from the provincial capital, and it might be difficult for people who had not experienced rain, snow and freezing disasters to understand the severity of this disaster. When I saw that the trees on both sides of the road were full of ice, and one of the small pine branches was crushed by the ice and fell to the ground, Chen Jiqiao, who was in the same car, got out of the car to pick up this pine branch, but I didn't expect it to be too heavy to lift. There is not enough estimation of the weight of the ice cubes, and it is the ice that freezes on the transmission lines that collapses the towers. On the mountain, workers are rushing to repair a collapsed power tower in the ice and snow.

Later, Lu Zhengdong and others inspected the waterworks. Due to the power outage, the waterworks have also ceased operation, and now most of the residents live in buildings, and the well and river water have not been used for many years, and there is no running water supply, which has brought many difficulties to the residents' lives.

Due to the power outage, many shopping malls were closed, and Lu Zhengdong saw a rare supermarket with its own generator, and couldn't help but walk in, the supermarket was crowded with people, everyone rushed to buy food and drinks. When I went to the vegetable market, I found that the price of vegetables had risen very high.

No electricity, no way to watch TV. In fact, even if there is electricity, you can't watch TV -- the cable center is out of power, there is no broadcast at all, and the TV station is also out of power.

Local cadres also reported that due to the power outage, hospital surgeries could not be performed, and there was no lighting in the prison, which also brought many difficulties to prison management.

In modern social life, how difficult it is to have no electricity, it will bring great chaos to social life.

It can be seen that Jinhe City was a little flustered and at a loss in the early stage of the response, but Lu Zhengdong did not blame and criticize the comrades in the city, after all, whether it is a drill or a plan, he has not experienced a real * battle, it will be completely different, after all, he has said hello before, and he is still somewhat prepared, and after experiencing the initial panic, he will get better soon, so Lu Zhengdong not only did not blame, but in addition to kindly putting forward some guiding opinions, he also encouraged them.

Restoring the collapsed power grid is not a matter of overnight, and it is necessary to provide emergency power supply to some key departments as much as possible, Lu Zhengdong thought for a while and asked the people around him:

"Can you discuss with the troops, the general troops are equipped with emergency power supplies, can you please provide some emergency power supply to the garrison in Beihu?"

"This should be fine."

So Lu Zhengdong personally called the leader of a certain unit stationed in Beihu at the time, and the troops quickly reported that they could provide emergency power supply.

The entourage was also very excited when they heard the news, and immediately prepared to send someone to the army to contact and pick up the goods. Lu Zhengdong smiled after hearing this:

"In this case, it is too difficult for our place to deliver goods, and the troops should be immediately sent to the places where emergency power is needed, and the troops have such enthusiasm and initiative in this regard. In addition, it is necessary to understand that such an emergency power supply is produced by horse racing units, especially whether there is one in our province, and there is a hurry to mobilize and increase the production of full horsepower. ”

And there are generators sold in Jinhe City, all the generators are sold out, all the flashlights are sold out, even the most inconspicuous candles are all sold out, and there is even an old grandmother, who really didn't buy candles, so she used the red candles she offered to the Bodhisattva to light, and the whole person's hands and face were black.
