On July 29, the Central Meteorological Station issued a red warning for rainstorm. In the following three days, the Central Meteorological Station issued seven red warnings for rainstorm. The total duration of rainstorm rainstorm is about 92 hours, which is also the largest rainfall in 140 years recorded by instruments in Beijing.

More than 2800 people on three trains were trapped in the Mentougou mountainous area of Beijing. At 5am on July 31st, the K396 train crew braved the rain to go to Luopo Ridge Station to buy over 1200 pieces of food and water, and returned to the carriage to distribute them to passengers. Train attendant Zhao Yang choked up and comforted the passengers.

Food is in urgent need, drinking water is limited, signal is interrupted, temperature is reduced, and rainstorm is broken, so external materials can only be delivered with difficulty through human walking... stranded passengers are waiting in anxiety.Require "local and relevant departments to contact the train, make every effort to organize rescue, deliver food and medicine, and ensure the safety of stranded passengers during the transfer."

At 13:00 on July 31st, all K396 stranded passengers and railway staff were transferred and placed in the Luopo Ridge Neighborhood Committee.

Disaster continues to spread, and the difficulty of rescue continues to increase.

On July 31st, at a gathering and distribution station in Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, multiple people were trapped at a water depth of about 1 meter. The Fangshan District Fire Rescue Brigade dispatched multiple firefighters, carrying emergency rescue tools such as assault boats, to rush to the scene for rescue.

At 5:10 am on August 1st, four transport helicopters carrying 26 officers and soldiers urgently flew to the Mentougou Riverside City Railway Station and other places in Beijing to carry out tasks such as airdrop of rescue materials and transportation of patients.

With the largest rainstorm in Beijing in 140 years, a basin wide flood is spreading gradually in the Haihe River basin. Six rivers in the Haihe River Basin have exceeded their water conservation standards, and eight rivers have experienced the largest floods since recorded data. More than half of the counties in Hebei Province have been hit by floods, with a total affected population of 2.2229 million. Among them, the flooded area of Zhuozhou once reached 60% of the urban area, with an average of 1 to 1.5 meters of accumulated water and the deepest reaching 5 to 6 meters.

On this day, the reservoirs and rivers in Beijing are also in the stage of receding water, and the water situation is tending to stabilize. On this day, remote sensing monitoring images captured by the "Gaofen-3" satellite showed a significant reduction in the water area of Zhuozhou compared to the previous day.

"Seven down and eight up" is the most urgent stage of flood prevention, and flood prevention and disaster relief work must not be relaxed at all. From August 2, a strong wind and torrential rain swept over southern Heilongjiang. From August 2 to 4, Heilongjiang Meteorological Station issued a red warning for rainstorm.

Currently, the situation of flood prevention and control is quite severe. Rivers such as the Lalin River and the Ant River are at risk of flooding, and it is expected that the Songhua River basin may experience watershed flooding.

Wan Qunzhi, Deputy Director of the Flood Control and Drought Relief Department of the Ministry of Emergency Management: Currently, the National Flood Control Administration still maintains the second level flood control response in Hebei and Tianjin, and the third level flood control response in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Beijing.

Yanshou County immediately organized public security, emergency, water and other departments to carry out on-site rescue operations and seize the time to relocate and resettle people in low-lying areas. That night, a total of 1352 people were safely transferred in Yanshou County.

On August 3rd, Shulan City, Jilin Province, experienced heavy rainfall. Due to the impact of the rainfall, several villages and towns in Shulan City were obstructed and communication was interrupted. Local rescue forces were immediately organized to rush to the affected villages to rescue the trapped people.

The housing and construction department in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, is working tirelessly 24 hours a day, gradually activating emergency backup water source wells under its jurisdiction, and making every effort to ensure basic domestic water supply for residents. While urgently opening the emergency backup water source well, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development has dispatched 8 emergency water purification vehicles and water quality monitoring vehicles from the National Water Supply Emergency Rescue Center to Zhuozhou.
