Chapter 399 Disaster Relief
There was a lot of crying on the high ground, and the villagers were crying in the houses, the animals, and everything they had lost. Except for this high ground, there was water on all sides. After eating the drinking water and food, they could only starve. Although it was summer, the temperature was not high. Everyone was in a hurry to evacuate without thick clothes and bedding, and they were trembling with cold.
The three female members of the Pan family are on the verge of collapse. In the face of disaster, everyone is equal. No matter how high the education and extensive the knowledge Gu Tsinghua is, he is just a weak little woman at this moment. Her will is even worse than that of Pan Xiaoyang. Thinking that she is very likely to lose her biological father and boyfriend at the same time, she can't control her emotions, anxious and sad, and she burst into tears.
At this time, Fu Ping'an on the assault boat made a decision to save people and save as many people as possible instead of escaping to a safe place. He knew that Gu Qinghua must be worried about his own safety, but compared to this, other people's lives were more important. Two assault boats shuttled through the flood and rescued two more people, a dog and a cat lying on a tree, also jumped onto their boat.
The army's armored vehicles and the armed police's assault boats also joined the rescue. The civilian rescue team loaded with people and animals could finally evacuate and repair. They did not go to the high ground where the victims gathered, but returned to the other side. They were extremely nervous all night, and with hunger, Fu Ping'an and Pan Xiayang showed signs of dehydration, but after eating compressed biscuits and drinking a bottle of water, they went to the rescue again until the armed police stopped them and said that we were enough here. You are also ordinary people, not professional rescue teams. Let's do this job.
Jiangdong Province has not encountered such a large-scale flood disaster in nearly 20 years. Fortunately, governments at all levels have been preparing for the future and actively preventing floods for a long time, and the results are still very significant. With the troops entering the rescue, the government's disaster relief work has also started quickly. The Provincial Department of Civil Affairs urgently launched a level 3 disaster relief emergency response, allocated emergency funds for disaster relief, allocated tents, folding beds, quilts and other materials to the disaster area. After the mobile and China Unicom signal transmission vehicles were in place, the victims could finally contact their relatives.
Gu Qinghua opened Fu Ping'an's cell phone and learned that the other party and his younger brother were safe and sound, but Pan Laowu still had nowhere to go. This result was expected. The three women hugged their heads and cried. Everyone saw the power of the flood. The missing meaning was that the body was gone. The Pan family fell from heaven to hell. Yesterday, they were discussing the celebration of the three-day large-scale banquet, and today it turned into a funeral banquet.
The first batch of disaster relief supplies were sent by the Armed Police's assault boat, with pure water in plastic bags, instant noodles, ham and sausage cakes, all of which were picked up from the supermarket. More than a thousand people ate their first meal in the rain.
According to the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain in the next few days and the high ground is not safe. The victims must be transferred to the county town. The troops sent off-road trucks to take all the victims to the schools and gymnasiums in Beihe County for resettlement. There are too many people and I can't stay in the indoor space, so I set up a tent on the playground. The county's hotels enthusiastically sent lunch boxes to support the victims, without taking any money. In the face of major disasters, warmth can be seen everywhere.
By noon, the number of deaths and missing persons was initially counted, and casualties in the county were minimized. Only five people died in the county, two of whom were lonely elderly people living alone, and three were deputy town mayors responsible for contacting the masses and two grassroots police officers.
Eight missing people, Pan Laowu ranked among them.
Fu Ping'an reunited with Gu Tsinghua in the gymnasium of Beihe County No. 1 Middle School. Although he was separated for only a few hours, he felt like he was separated from life and death.
Liu Kanggan is also in Beihe County. Although he is a "leader" from the province, he leads the way and has always worked on the front line. Of course, the place where the top students of Jiangda University use their skills is definitely not in this regard. Liu Kanggan is best at writing articles. Only by going deep into the front line can he write touching articles. First of all, he must move himself and others. This flood fully reflects what a flood is called ruthless and people are affectionate. Liu Kanggan has a deep understanding of it.
The disaster relief supplies are actually not enough. Thanks to the generous donation of the people in Beihe County, the major problems were not exposed. Many victims had relatives in the county town and went directly to their relatives and friends, which solved some of the pressure. Pan Xiaoyang and his family did not have to go to their distant relatives. They had a house in Omi, so they could just move to Omi.
A night ago, the family was gone, the father was gone, and the car was scrapped. Pan Xiaoyang wanted to cry without tears. She couldn't blame anyone, just like the villagers couldn't blame anyone. Although everyone knew that this was not a pure natural disaster. When the gate was opened to discharge floods, Shahe Village was destined to be a victim. This concept has long been firmly rooted in everyone's hearts, so it is psychologically acceptable after it happens and will not hate those who make decisions, because if they don't flood Shahe Village, they will flood Beihe County and the provincial capital.
Fu Ping'an wanted to take everyone back to the Jinjiang River. It was meaningless to live here before the flood receded, but Pan's mother disagreed. She said that she would see people and bodies living, and although she could not go home and wait, she would always wait in the place closest to her home.
Although Pan's mother is usually gentle and very stubborn at critical moments, no one can persuade her, and no one can understand her relationship with Pan Laowu for nearly thirty years. In the end, Pan Xiaoyang came up with a compromise plan and lived in a hotel in the county, which is better than squeezing in a gymnasium.
The Pan family has this financial ability, so other victims can only squeeze in the venue. If the camp beds are not enough, they use soft cushions used in the school's physical education class. If the food is not available, they can eat instant noodles and make do. Although the government is trying hard to supply it, the conditions here are still similar to those in the refugee camp. If they cannot eat well, they will have to queue up to go to the toilet.
The family members did not leave, and Fu Ping'an did not leave either. He planned to do his part as a volunteer, but the government did not have an organization in this regard for the time being, so he worked alone, asking someone to buy supplies in Omi and find a vehicle to transport them here.
Fu Ping'an is rich, but he has no pursuit of material enjoyment. A lot of money lies in his account is useless. It is best to use it for disaster relief. He called the company by phone and arranged for Gu Bei to handle the matter. Gu Bei acted resolutely and quickly went to the food wholesale market to pack a batch of convenience food. At the same time, he contacted the truck and could be transported to Beihe County that night.
At the same time when the disaster relief supplies arrived in Beihe County, good news came that Pan Laowu was rescued. It is said that he and another person were discovered by the armed police rescue team on a big tree. When they were rescued, they stayed in the tree for several hours.
Pan Laowu was sent by an armed police truck. His clothes were soaked, embarrassed and haggard, which made people feel distressed. The whole family finally had no shortage of them and reunion. When it comes to his trap, Pan Laowu was still scared. Last night, he drank a pound of white wine and was drunk, and his mind was a little confused. Some people admitted that an old friend who had inconvenient legs and feet had not come out of the village. Pan Laowu didn't even say hello, and drove back to save the person. After rescued the old brother, the vehicle was trapped in the water. Seeing the flood rising little by little, Pan Laowu pulled his brother to abandon his car and escape, climbed onto a big tree to wait for rescue.
"He runs a convenience store. Before leaving, I took a pack of things and was not hungry and thirsty." Pan Laowu said, describing the hugeness of the tree and gestured with his hands. "There is no problem for two people on the tree branch. We were wearing raincoats, wearing empty white peanuts and chicken claws, and drank more than a pound of more than a pound."
Everyone was amused and crying. Fu Ping'an said why didn't I see you near the car? Pan Laowu met him at the location and confirmed that the Wrangler was washed away by the flood. The distance between the two strokes was at least one kilometer.
The power of being able to drive off-road vehicles out of such a long distance is imagined. The story of Pan Laowu squatting on a tree and drinking sounds funny, but thinking about it carefully but full of tragic colors.
That night, countless people suffered from insomnia. Needless to say, the victims living in the sports hall were the adults sighed and cried. The disaster relief personnel and troops fought hard all night. In a room in the county party committee guesthouse, Liu Kanggan, who had been busy for a day, turned on his laptop regardless of his fatigue, recalled the touching moments during the day, and thoughts were like a spring.
Liu Jieyu, a cousin from Neijiang, was called to a meeting by her leader before she got off work in the afternoon. She now works in the same unit as her mother Xiong Ru. Although her career is not as strong as the administrative staff, she is in the leisure time. She heard that the disaster in Beihe County was caused, the Red Cross held an urgent mobilization meeting. The leader said that there might be some action recently, asking everyone not to be late or leave early, and they are on their phones and waiting for notifications at all times.
Liu Jieyu didn't care. In her consciousness, the Red Cross was not responsible for disaster relief. It was the job of the People's Liberation Army. They were only responsible for collecting money and transferring money to the front. So after the meeting, she still went to the bar to play. She recently found a boyfriend, an American student, and had a very humorous Chinese name called Shet. Shet's family is a prominent family in the eastern United States. Liu Jieyu is preparing to develop in depth with him. It is not impossible to talk about marriage and marriage.
The next morning, Liu Jieyu was still late when she was hangover. Fortunately, a colleague gave her a cover, but the leader didn't notice it at all. Liu Jieyu made a cup of tea. Others liked to drink Longjing Tieguanyin, but she liked to make tea with Lipton black tea bags, which were pleasing to the eye. Sitting at the window to see the street scene outside, letting her mood be relaxed, and then reading the newspaper for a while, the day's work will be over.
But today it seems that it is not possible. The Provincial Red Cross Society is going to open a fundraising channel for the affected people in Beihe County. The leader asked Liu Jieyu to write an announcement and place it on various media to call for fundraising. This job is not difficult. Liu Jieyu turned on the computer and typed it out with a crackling sound. She sent it out with the official Weibo account of the Red Cross, and sent it to the newspaper and TV station to let them publish the report.
This is the first misunderstanding since Liu Jieyu went to work. She made a typo. There was a typo on her Weibo account. The date was also wrong. It was written as today last year. There was a lot of sarcasm in the comment area below, but Liu Jieyu didn't notice it at all. She never maintained this account, posted whatever she liked, and sometimes forwarded the promotional articles of idols. The official account was also a living editor. There are also normal people's joys, anger, sorrows and happiness, and people are not allowed to chase stars.
At the same time, Fu Ping'an returned to Jiangda campus and publicly recruited volunteers. After the first batch of disaster relief supplies were transported to Beihe County last night, he discovered a serious problem. Raising funds to purchase materials until the transportation process was very simple, but distribution was too difficult. First of all, there was a lack of enough manpower, and the distribution process was not scientific enough to ensure that it was distributed to everyone. Some people received a lot of food but no blankets, some people received dozens of bottles of pure water, and nothing else. Everyone seemed to care more about distributing the materials instead of paying attention to the scientific nature of distribution.
So Fu Ping'an wants to recruit a group of young people on campus, who are passionate, smart and able to do things. It is summer vacation and there are not many people in college. However, Fu Ping'an raised his arms on the Internet, and a large number of local Ome students rushed over and signed up enthusiastically to donate money and materials. Fu Ping'an said that I will not raise funds. As long as people, your money can be donated to more efficient and experienced charities.
Within one day, Fu Ping'an recruited hundreds of volunteers, all of whom were college students. Mu Lan equipped them with a unified reflective vest and sun hat in the shortest time, and the flags and banners were also completed. However, these people could not devote themselves to work on the same day, and the reasonable process was still under research and formulation. Anyway, the most dangerous moment had passed, and the next task was to ensure the resettlement of disaster victims, transitional life, and post-disaster reconstruction work.
This year is not a major disaster year. There are abundant flood control materials in other places. With the help of modern logistics methods, a large number of materials have flocked to it, including diesel generators, emergency lighting equipment, pumps and other equipment ordered and raised by Fu Ping'an. These materials occupy a lot of space. The logistics vehicle calls the purchaser and asks where to unload the goods.
During the flood, there was a mess everywhere, and no one knew where the goods should be unloaded. It was unrealistic to ask the driver to take them to Beihe County. The freight fee was only to Jinjiang. The people below reported the problem to Fu Ping'an. He was unambiguous and said that he would hand it over to the Red Cross Society and let them distribute it. Anyway, it would be enough to finally get to the victims.
Fu Ping'an's disaster relief was not for fame, he just wanted to make the victims feel more comfortable. According to his understanding, there will be a huge warehouse in the Provincial Red Cross called a disaster relief and disaster recovery warehouse. It usually stores a large amount of materials. It is estimated that a lot of inventory will be released from the first wave of rescue, and the storage space can be freed up. Moreover, the Red Cross is a professional charity organization with familiar processes and capable personnel. It is absolutely right to hand it over to them.
He called the Red Cross, but he was always busy, so he found the warehouse address of the Provincial Red Cross online and asked the logistics company to send all the goods there.
This is a problem with the delivery. The Provincial Red Society’s warehouse is no longer a disaster relief warehouse. It has long been redesigned. It is now a warehouse of a certain enterprise. The door is closed and no disaster relief supplies are collected. The guard said that you have found the wrong place and don’t know any Red Society Green Society here.
More than a dozen trucks were stuck at the door of the warehouse, and the drivers were also angry and got out of the car and went to find a place to have a meal. The warehouse had to call the police to solve the problem. When the police found the owner of the goods, that is, Fu Ping'an, it was already evening. After the traffic police learned that these were all disaster relief supplies raised, their attitude changed by 180 degrees. Instead, they stood on the side of the driver and asked the warehouse why they did not accept it.
"We are not the Red Society's warehouse at all." The warehouse manager beat his chest and stamped his feet, as if he was greatly wronged.
Finally, Fu Ping'an made a concession and he added money to ask the drivers to drive the car to Beihe County for delivery. He would negotiate with the Beihe County Government in advance and prepare for the forklift and site.
This was an inconspicuous little misunderstanding, but Fu Ping'an likes to be serious. Since he has recognized the wrong address, he must find the correct address.
