I have to say that Gu Ji's underground waterproof work clothes are really eye-catching, and the formal dress of everyone present in suits and leather shoes completely forms two extreme contrasts.

"Vidi, you did the Bang District Government Hospital?"

"Yes."

In the face of the chief minister's inquiry, Gu Ji directly and generously admitted that because he urgently needs to show himself now, and only the brighter his own ability, the heads of government will listen carefully and adopt his opinions.

Fatina on the side also looked at him with a little surprise.

Unexpectedly, in addition to professional meteorological and disaster prevention knowledge, Gu Ji also mastered public health-related processing skills.

At the scene, only the Minister of Health looked at him with a strange look, as if it was because of this that he did not make proper arrangements.

The Chief Minister's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Experts from the Department of Disaster Management say that you were the first to detect the landfall of a tropical depression, can you tell us what you think about this disaster?"

"The combined effect of the strong and long control time of the South Asian monsoon, coupled with the disturbance of the easterly wave in the intertropical convergence zone, the northerly position of the South Asian monsoon trough and the strong cross-equatorial jet stream in Somalia, provides sufficient water vapor over the Indian continent, which will cause sustained heavy rainfall, so it is ......"

At this point, Gu paused several times and made a decision that surprised everyone: "Before the traffic is completely paralyzed, the people of Brahmaputra and its tributaries should be evacuated immediately." ”

"Moving people across the basin? My God, young man, your courage is admirable! ”

The first to speak was the Minister of Highway Traffic and Transportation, and although there were compliments between the lines, the yin and yang tone was very uncomfortable.

Obviously, Gu Ji's decision was too bold.

Even the Chief Minister did not expect him to say that.

"In the event of an accident or contagious disease during a large-scale transfer, the medical system may not be able to afford it!"

"The Minister of Health is right, at least 10 million people will be displaced just because of a heavy rainstorm, do you know how much money and supplies will be spent behind this?"

"The point is that many people are not willing to leave their homes at all, which is too difficult for us in the police department to dissuade!"

"yes, that's a very unrealistic decision."

"Young people nowadays ......"

……

For a time, under the leadership of the Minister of Transport and Health, many high-ranking officials spoke up to refute Gu's strategy.

At the scene, only the Minister of Disaster Management did not speak, and Fatima beside him quickly rummaged through the various materials prepared.

Knock, the Chief Minister tapped lightly on his desk, and the conference room gradually fell silent.

He looked at Gu Ji.

"What is the specific reason for your conclusion?"

"I have learned from the experience of historical heavy rains and floods in India that on August 4, 2000, severe flooding occurred in the Godavari and Tungabura rivers, killing 131 people, 5,368 cattle and leaving 98,000 homeless in Andhra Pradesh alone, the city of Hyderabad was flooded, many areas were flooded to a depth of 3 metres, crops were destroyed on 177,000 hectares of land, and the total loss of property and agriculture amounted to billions of rupees;"

"During July 2003, severe flooding in Brahmaputra and its tributaries killed 38 people, affected 5.23 million people in 4,962 villages, severely affected crops on 210,000 hectares of land and damaged nearly 5,000 houses in Assam alone; In 2019, the rainy season received just over 110% of the historical normal, with 1,900 people killed in floods throughout the rainy season, including more than 130 deaths caused by heavy rains in Bihar. ”

Relying on the rich knowledge in the field of natural disasters, coupled with the central nervous system data of Gu Ji as high as 18.6, the mind runs extremely fast.

The history of India, and even the whole of East Asia and the Xia Kingdom, were almost instantaneously listed in front of his eyes like a computer folder.

The ministers of disaster management on the sidelines were fascinated.

"I want to say that the lessons of history have been painful enough, according to the data just released by the Central Meteorological Observatory, the heavy rain will not stop in the next 12 hours, which is a big burden on the already flooded rivers and reservoir dams that store water, and more importantly, we must be vigilant against the secondary disasters caused by heavy rains and floods!"

"The urbanization of India along the river has led to urban flooding that is very different from rural flooding, and the data over the years have proved that urban flooding has increased the flood peak from 1.8 times to 8 times, and the flood volume has increased by 6 times, according to the release of the Crustal Movement Monitoring Engineering Research Center of the Xia Earthquake Bureau, the Indian plate moves about 5cm northward to the Xia country every year, which will cause the Himalayan rocks to be constantly stressed, making them brittle and more prone to landslides and earthquakes, once a large area of landslides occurs in the Bangbei mountains......"

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

The audience was silent, and the only movement that could be heard was the sound of Fatima quickly flipping through the pages of the materials.

There was silence for three seconds.

With a surprised expression, Fatima raised his head, first glanced at Gu Ji, and then at the Minister of Disaster Management, and a vote of high-level government officials: "What he said, a single data is correct, it's all true!" ”

At this moment, even the chief minister's eyes widened.

Although Gu Ji did not finish his last sentence, everyone knows what the consequences will be, and if a large-scale landslide really occurs, with the current town planning and population density of Assam, at least hundreds of people will be killed or injured.

The Minister of Transportation was choked up a few times, for fear that the chief would agree to Gu Ji's strategy of transferring people on a large scale, and if it didn't work out, let alone take off his official uniform, it would be possible to go to prison on the spot, so he hurriedly spoke first:

"Chief Minister, although the data is terrible, no one can guarantee that it will happen, and the Minister of Water Resources has said before that the state's dam is currently being released in an orderly manner and the strategy of diverting people is still a bit too radical, right?"

"Hmmm......"

The Chief Minister pinched the base of his nose.

In addition to the safety of people's lives and property, it is also necessary to take care of the economic capacity of government resources, the difficulty of program implementation, and the follow-up sustainability.

He did not refute Gu Ji's words, nor did he support them, but instead asked the Minister for Disaster Management for his opinion.

As an expert in dealing with natural disasters, the Disaster Management Minister's answer is obviously more acceptable to the county governors and ministers.

First of all, the establishment of heavy rain, flood disaster accident special emergency rescue temporary headquarters, the office of the emergency headquarters set up in the state government, as the head of the disaster handling work of the head of the work of the command of the rescue and disaster relief group, logistics support, medical aid, aftermath disposal, public security vigilance five professional groups.

As soon as Gu Ji heard it, he knew that this was the "standard answer" for the graded emergency plan for natural disasters.

The rescue team is responsible for quickly organizing all parties to implement rescue and disaster relief and implement rescue and disaster relief measures when danger occurs; Organize the evacuation of disaster victims and materials, cooperate with engineering and technical personnel, and be responsible for on-site emergency repairs;

The medical team is responsible for the medical care of the wounded, sanitation and epidemic prevention, drinking water and food hygiene;

The police are responsible for the safety of the disaster site and the maintenance of traffic order;

The logistics team is responsible for emergency communication, vehicle scheduling, and the support of emergency materials and equipment;

Finally, the aftermath team is responsible for the settlement of claims and the recovery and reconstruction work after the accident.

This kind of multi-departmental coordination and mutual cooperation can maximize the functions of the government and share the difficulty, but it needs a premise, the disaster situation cannot exceed the scope of the current government's handling capacity!

And Gu Ji said so much, in fact, he was emphasizing a problem:

This torrential rain disaster is simply not something that the Assam government can handle!

Since the checkpoint crisis is limited to the national level, it is doomed that disaster will not only occur in Assam, as can be seen in the massive floods in neighbouring Bangladesh.

There must be some "thunder" hidden in the shadows that has not yet exploded.

When it blows up, then Assam will fall completely, and the torrential rain and flood will radiate along the basin to the southeast according to the topography, and then it will turn into a national disaster.

Think about it, a national-level event that even the central cabinet government has to take action;

Will it be something that your small state government can handle?

Not to mention that Assam's economy is not developed, and there is no personnel, materials, and money to consume, Gu Ji let them transfer, in fact, to save the state government's energy, as early as possible to save as many people's lives as possible.

Unfortunately, the Chief Minister did not take his advice.

After the Minister of Disaster Management got off to a good start, the other ministers of water conservancy, agriculture, police, and health care began to explain their own strategies for assigning their functions.

In this way, a set of temporary rainstorm emergency treatment plans was largely formulated.

The chief minister looked at the key points of the plan handed over by the secretary of the record behind him, and shook his head slightly, seeming to be satisfied.

"Do you have anything else to add?"

Seeing that no one spoke, the chief minister set his eyes on Gu Ji again.

He was not polite, and immediately raised his hand.

"Vidi, what's your problem?"

"I would like to build on the strategies mentioned by the ministers, and then expand on a few points."

As soon as Gu Ji's words came out, several ministers looked displeased.

This is actually quite normal, the ministers themselves have finished speaking, and he suddenly intervenes at this time, no matter what he says, it is clear that he is finding fault.

But since the chief minister has already thrown the issue out, there is no reason not to take it.

After getting the other party's consent, Gu Ji began to supplement it according to the military disaster prevention manual and the experience of dealing with natural disasters:

"First of all, the first and most important point of emergency management is to establish an early warning mechanism for heavy rain and flood disasters, so as to make early preparation, early disposal and early reporting; The daily monitoring of early warning information is under the emergency command office, and the state meteorological monitoring department should communicate with the Central Meteorological Department at all times, and all relevant information monitored should be reported to the emergency command office in a timely manner to prevent the occurrence of sudden disasters. ”

"Secondly, to ensure the smooth flow of communication and transportation, Assam is located in the northeast of India, and the central government is only connected to the Siliguri corridor, once the communication is cut off and the traffic collapses, then the state will be completely 'isolated from the world' and fend for itself, so I suggest that the Department of Transportation should communicate with the central government as soon as possible, and use the railway to carry out cross-state transportation of food and medical supplies to maintain sufficient supplies."

"Then, the medical side can follow the graded treatment ladder of disaster medical rescue, the first level is on-site rescue, and organize experienced medical personnel to set up a front-line rescue team to search for and find the wounded, and guide self-rescue and mutual rescue; The second level is early treatment, which temporarily sets up temporary medical treatment in areas with serious disasters, and conducts early treatment and classification of the wounded sent to the scene; The tertiary transport and rear hospital treatment mainly accept the follow-up treatment of the wounded in the front, and the focus is on the implementation of specialized treatment, intensive care and psychological counseling. ”

Regarding this point, in fact, Gu Ji mentioned it as early as the previous state government hospital.

The hierarchical medical system originated from the Russian Academy of Military Medical Sciences during World War I, and then received the attention of military health officials in many countries, Xia Guo introduced the concept of stepped treatment into the wartime and disaster medical rescue system in 1965, and called it hierarchical treatment.

"And the last point, I suggest that the National Police Agency immediately organize police forces and firefighters, ready to participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief work at any time, and implement traffic control, restrict the movement of road vehicles, when necessary, should ask the central cabinet government and military region troops for reinforcements, and send additional troops to assist in disaster relief, the army has rapid response capabilities and highly mobile capabilities, and the execution power far exceeds that of police and elimination, and after major natural disasters, they are often the fastest to respond, and can play an important role in reducing losses, saving lives, and stabilizing people's hearts."

If Gu Ji's proposal to divert the people's strategy was just surprise, now it is completely shocking.

Even Fatima was stunned for a long time.

The reason why they were shocked was not only Gu Ji's detailed control of the emergency treatment plan, but also many angles that they didn't dare to think of!

That's right.

In fact, the disaster prevention experience added by Gu Ji is not too clever in Xia and the world, but just standing on the shoulders of giants to think about the problem.

But why can't the top of these state governments think of it?

The reason is simple: institutional restrictions!

For a world-class power, governments need to have the ability to pool resources, that is, a strong mobilization capacity, because in this way, they can maximize the mobilization of resources to deal with national disasters.

The basis of this is that the country must have a strong central government, which is the core, because only a strong central government can gather local forces and form a joint force, while in India, due to complex reasons such as ethnicity and religion, the central government's control is relatively average, and many local states are unwilling to obey.

Especially in remote areas like Assam, which are inhabitable, it is basically difficult to manage.

So from the very beginning, the Minister of Communications did not consider reporting to the central government for material allocation.

Another point worth mentioning is the army's disaster relief.

The aim and purpose of the armies of all countries in the world is to protect the lives and property of their own people, and at the same time to wage war against other countries.

In the summer country, special police, armed police, the army into the rescue and disaster relief is very common, but in Western countries, the army generally will not undertake the task of disaster relief, before the Australian forest fires, the Australian government tried to transfer its own army to disaster relief, was the Australian army clearly refused, because they are not professional firefighters, easy to get injured, so that in the end Australia had to apply for international assistance, let the international professional fire team to fight the fire.

Even the U.S. military is often reluctant to participate in disaster relief, because the federal system does not allow the military to be used at will, and state governments are often more willing to use the guard than the federal army, which is not "operationally capable", has cumbersome mobilization, and has political risks.

It's the same in India.

Their army is limited in strength, with very few troops that can actually be mobilized, apart from the troops deployed in the border areas and the reserves retained within India, and because of institutional problems, the army is rarely involved in disaster relief, and the state governments are reluctant to ask for help.

Therefore, Gu Ji's proposals seem a bit "bold" in their eyes.

The Chief Minister was silent for a few moments before coughing twice to ease his embarrassment.

"Weidi's proposal is worth pondering, to keep an eye on the changes in the weather and the environment, prepare materials, the two ministers of transportation and meteorology, you are responsible for communicating with the central government, the minister of agriculture must actively cooperate, as for asking the army for help, it still needs to be discussed again, okay, this meeting is over, all departments will immediately act according to the strategy, and I will let the secretary send the specific action plan to you!"

"Yes!"

Many county magistrates and ministers shouted in unison.

Before leaving, many ministers deliberately "scratched" Gu Ji with their eyes, and seemed to be complaining that he had added an extra burden to himself, and even his cheap boss, the Minister of Agriculture, didn't bother to care about him.

But in fact, Gu Ji's arrangement is still not a foolproof solution.

Not to mention the fact that the military is unable to engage in disaster relief, even if the chief minister agrees to contact the military, the role of the Indian army is limited, firstly, India's infrastructure is very poor, there are few transportation routes, flood control facilities are weak, and secondly, the army lacks specialized emergency rescue and disaster relief training.

In Gu Ji's impression, the armies of many countries in the world will only be used to fight wars, and emergency rescue and disaster relief belong to the concept of "non-war military operations", and only the militaries of major countries will emphasize the ability to carry out diversified tasks, such as carrying out humanitarian relief to disasters, carrying out peacekeeping missions, imposing sanctions, and showing force.

Therefore, when the Indian army goes to disaster relief, at most it is to save people, and fundamentally it cannot intercept and prevent floods.

The meeting room was quickly empty.

There were only a few people left in the disaster management department at the scene, and the minister pursed his lips, looking at this handsome Gu Ji, he felt more and more that the other party was not simple.

As a ministry in India that has been set up specifically to prevent and control disasters, it is not good to be a minister.

Based on Gu's few words and strategies, he concluded that this kid has a lot of experience in crisis management, and the most important thing is that he has an international perspective and can be transferred to India based on the advanced international disaster relief experience.

If we can really use this disaster relief treatment, we can change India's current somewhat backward disaster management system.

What a great event to celebrate!

As a result, the Minister of Disaster Management has become a competent.

"My name is Anurag, I am the Minister of Disaster Management in Assam, I like your performance at the meeting, you have real skills, you are not afraid of offending people, are you interested in coming to the Ministry of Disaster Management, I plan to let you and Fatima set up a frontline disaster investigation team, responsible for real-time investigation of this tropical depression caused by heavy rain."

"Of course I do, but minister, my job now ......"

"Don't worry, in terms of job transfer, I will come forward to talk to the Department of Agriculture, and in extraordinary times, you will be merged into the investigation team first!"

"Thank you, minister, for your affirmation, I will definitely complete the task!"

Gu Ji clasped his hands together, pretending to be excited.

Anurag smiled and shook his head, then turned away.

Only Fatima and Gu Ji were left at the scene.

"Now we're officially meeting, hello, Fatima."

"Vidi."

Because Indian men and women are different, they don't want to shake hands, so when they saw each other's hands folded, Gu Ji also followed back.

Since the minister has arranged for the two to cooperate.

Fatima took the initiative to take the documents:

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Vidi, I admire your expertise, and since you've said so much at the meeting, what's next for our investigation?"

"Really."

Gu Ji walked out of the building with Fatima and said, "In fact, I forgot to mention one thing in the meeting just now, that is, we cooperate with the army in the early warning mechanism, and we can only rely on experience to predict disasters artificially, and what our eyes observe is always partial, lacking integrity and accuracy. ”

"The military has a huge reconnaissance and surveillance system, and it is very sensitive to natural disasters, especially man-made disasters, and the Northern Command of the United States, which is responsible for homeland security, has to analyze and study weather changes every day, and in addition to providing operational reference, it also cooperates with the civilian meteorological department to conduct real-time monitoring of hurricanes, heavy rains, hail, etc., and the Indian Navy is also equipped with powerful disaster early warning equipment, and before the Indian Ocean tsunami, the first to find the tsunami is the Indian Navy, so ......"

"So you want me to contact the Navy?"

Fatima immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

Gu Ji nodded.

"Okay, so what are you going to be responsible for?"

"I'm going to go north to the area around the rivers of Gohati and Brahmaputra, and the Minister of Water Resources just said that the dam is draining normally, but I always feel that the current amount of precipitation has far exceeded the rate of the dam discharge."

"You're worried that the dam will burst?"

After seeing Gu Ji's grim expression, Fatima immediately made a decision, "Okay, then let's go our separate ways and contact us by phone at any time!" ”

The two were separated at the entrance of the state government building.

Gu Ji returned to the car and pulled out a map of Assam.

Gohati is a city on the left bank of the Brahmaputra River in the Indian state of Assam and an important transportation hub in the state, with the main railway line from Saadia to northern India and the oil pipeline from Assam to Baruni, as well as the airport terminal.

And Dispur is less than 50 kilometers away from Gohati.

Although it was dangerous to drive at this time, he couldn't control it so much, started the vehicle, kicked the accelerator, and rushed out of the government compound.

The continuous rainfall has made the water in the town of Disbur higher and higher.

Fortunately, after the crisis management meeting, all departments took action, and he finally saw the Indian police on the road to maintain order, and the vast majority of local people were arranged by the police to stay above the second floor or on the roof.

It was only on the road that he saw several more bodies that had been salvaged.

In fact, before the flood, most of the people who drowned due to the accumulation of water in the town did so because they were bold enough to wade into the water before the depth of the water was determined.

Gu Ji shook his head.

Temporarily took out his mobile phone, extracted a simple version of the "Natural Disaster Emergency Self-help Guide" he had just obtained, sent it to Fatima through text messages, and made a phone call to her, asking the latter to send the content to people's mobile phones through major media and communication companies as soon as possible, or broadcast it through radio and radio, so that every person can memorize it as much as possible, so as to improve people's awareness of self-help and reduce the accident rate.

The proposal struck a chord with Fatima's eyes.

"Oh my God, Mr. Vidi, you're doing this trick so beautifully, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

"Also, if you can't reach them by either means, find a newspaper to print out the self-help guide and let the police distribute it to every household."

Hanging up the phone, Gu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't help but sigh more and more, fortunately, thanks to the high level of economic development in Xia, the developed media network, and the citizens can find many disaster self-rescue plans through the Internet self-media, if India has the mobilization capacity of the domestic government, infrastructure facilities, and citizen quality, this disaster will be much easier to solve.

Half an hour later.

Gu Jicheng left the city of Disbur despite the heavy rain, and there were only scattered bungalow residents on both sides of the road, most of them were half submerged, in order not to soak in the water, many people could only choose to take refuge on the roof, although they had umbrellas, but it was only in vain under the heavy rain.

There are also many parents who soak their young children in wooden tubs and float in the stagnant water in the house.

"Hey! You'd better nail a rope to the tub, otherwise it will be easily washed away when the water is strong! ”

Seeing this scene, Gu Ji hurriedly rolled down the window and shouted, reminding those parents who had a "big heart".

Compared to humans and shelters, animals are even more "miserable".

Along the way, Gu Ji saw many animals hiding pitifully under the trees, as long as they could go up the trees, they basically climbed the trees, and more animals with bad water properties could only be drowned alive.

So much so that on the "road" where he was driving, in addition to clothes, branches, and garbage, there were also floating corpses.

After driving less than ten kilometers, he found a white Toyota SUV parked in the middle of the road in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that when he got closer, a young man in the car frantically banged on the window and cried: "Please, sir, you must save us!" ”

"You guys go back."

Gu Ji drove the car to the side, picked up the fire axe, and smashed the glass in the same way.

The car door opened, and the young man in a suit and combing his oily hair thanked him excitedly, but the next second, he was stunned.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Coincidentally, this person was one of the people who attended the state government meeting before, and if I remember correctly, it should be the secretary accompanying the county magistrate of Gohati, who was wearing a black suit and a beard, and after seeing him, he remembered that he was still on the side of the minister of transportation at the meeting just now, and he was somewhat embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth to thank him.

"Mr. Vidi, why are you here, did the Minister of the National Police Agency send you?"

"No, I'm going to go to Gohati."

"You're going to Gohati too? That's great, can you help, give us a ride, Lord Shiva will definitely see your kindness! ”

"Get in the car!"

Within the scope of his ability, Gu Ji is of course impossible to see death without help, and the other party is still the leader of Gohati, which is more beneficial for him to carry out town surveys and water level conditions.

Inside the car, the county magistrate sat in the co-pilot's seat, while the driver and secretary followed behind the car.

After seeing a large amount of supplies piled up in the car, the three of them were all dumbfounded.

The torrential rain only started yesterday in the afternoon.

And today Gu Ji prepared a large cart of supplies, if they hadn't just finished attending the meeting, they knew that Gu Ji was very good at disaster management and had a sense of crisis, otherwise they would have thought that he could be a prophet!

The county magistrate glanced at the thermal blankets and cans in the supplies, subconsciously shuddered, and pursed his lips.

The secretary immediately understood.

"Mr. Vidi, the county magistrate is soaking wet, can I borrow your thermal blanket and food ......?"

"Yes, it's all in the back, you take three packets of biscuits, a box of canned food, and save water."

"Uh...... Well, thank you, Mr. Vidi! ”

The secretary hesitated awkwardly, as if he felt that Gu Ji was a little picky for these things, but since the other party had already made it clear, it was not easy for him to take more, after all, they were the ones who were saved.

On the contrary, the driver thanked Gu Ji vigorously.

As a subordinate, he knew that if he hadn't passed by, if he hadn't passed by, if he had to wait for the fire and rescue team from Disbur to arrive, their car might have been flooded with stagnant water.

He was so grateful that he could survive and eat.

The county magistrate also understood the importance of materials at this time, and after receiving the water, canned meat and thermal blanket handed over by the secretary, he immediately spoke:

"Vidi, thank you for your kind help, when it comes to Gohati, I will definitely represent the county government and hobby the ...... with the highest standard"

"Be careful! There is a gentle slope in front, and just now the driver was careless and plunged into it before turning off the engine! ”

Seeing Gu Ji start the vehicle with a big foot on the accelerator, the secretary hurriedly reminded him.

But Gu Ji chose to ignore it and directly rushed violently across the gentle slope.

"It's not about carelessness, when you came to Disbur in the morning, the water level was not so high, and now the water level is rising all the way under the continuous precipitation of the torrential rain, and it is naturally dangerous to drive rashly."

At this time, the county magistrate finally understood the concerns raised by Gu Ji at the meeting.

Indeed, if the torrential rains continue at this rate, Assam may indeed become an ocean!

Buzz~Buzz~

At this time, several people's mobile phones vibrated one after another.

The county magistrate took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and couldn't help but read it: "The Assam Disaster Management Department has issued: A guide to self-rescue from torrential rains and floods, beautiful, the Minister of Disaster Management is really a wonderful idea, with this guide, many people can be saved......"

Crash!

"Be careful!!"

Sorry, I got up early and late, I didn't hear the alarm clock, I woke up at noon, the first shift, there was a second shift around the morning, and I played a game that I did! Ask for a commuter pass!
