How difficult is the rescue in Zhuozhou and where is the difficulty?

Since July 29th, some areas in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei provinces and cities have experienced extreme heavy rainfall due to the impact of typhoons, and there have been significant floods in the Haihe River basin. Due to factors such as heavy rainfall and upstream river flooding, the flood control situation in Zhuozhou City is severe. According to public information, 133900 people were affected by the disaster in Zhuozhou, Hebei. On the morning of August 2nd, the "Zhuozhou Regional Rescue Registration" form was still constantly updating rescue information. According to multiple media reports, there are still a large number of people waiting for rescue in Zhuozhou.

How difficult is the rescue in Zhuozhou and where is it?

"From the current situation, Zhuozhou is still very dangerous." On the early morning of August 2nd, the relevant person in charge of the Blue Sky Rescue Team told Chao News reporters that based on historical conditions and upstream water conditions, long-term rescue preparations should be made. It is estimated that due to water and electricity shortages in the early stage, there will be a large number of rescue needs for the people who are still stuck on the second floor or above. From the direction of the flood, it can be seen that after entering the plain river section from the mountainous area, the flood discharge is slow, so flood control and rescue in this area will continue for several days. "On August 2nd, there was still nearly 70mm of precipitation in the northwest of Hebei Province, which may exacerbate the flood control situation in the Zhuozhou area. Therefore, the overall situation in Zhuozhou is severe, and rescue teams need to prepare for many days of rescue."

Public information shows that Zhuozhou is located in the central part of Hebei Province and the northern part of Baoding City, at the southern gate of the capital city. The overall terrain of Zhuozhou is characterized by high in the west and low in the east, with a relatively flat terrain. The highest altitude is 69.4 meters, and the lowest altitude is 19.8 meters. There are many rivers, among which the Liuli River is located in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province.

The person in charge stated that after the Yongding River left Beijing and reached Gu'an County, the water level rose, but there is still no downward trend. Although there has been less precipitation in the upstream Beijing area today, there is still a lot of water slowly leaking from Mentougou and Fangshan. "It depends on whether the water level in Gu'an is showing a downward trend in the morning of the 3rd. It is recommended that there are teams in urgent need to go to Zhuozhou for rescue and switch to another route."

On the morning of August 2nd, a Chao News reporter contacted Wang Shuai, the director of the special operations team of the Caoxian Zebra Volunteer Rescue Center, who was carrying out rescue work in Diaowo Town, Zhuozhou City. "We received rescue information from Zhuozhou and rushed over from another county in Hebei overnight. We arrived at around 11 pm last night. When we arrived, we happened to encounter a flood, so we didn't start the rescue work until around 6 am this morning."

As of the time of publication, Wang Shuai's rescue team had rescued more than 100 trapped people. "Our rubber boat slipped and broke one, and we urgently need a rubber boat now." Wang Shuai admitted that due to the deepest water depth of nearly five meters in some affected areas, some old houses will collapse, and even iron houses will be washed away. "The underwater environment is particularly turbid, and collapsed iron sheets cannot be seen, so it is easy to scratch the hull during the rescue process, making rescue very difficult."

Wang Shuai said that multiple teams have joined the rescue efforts, but there are still many trapped people. He and his team members are tirelessly carrying out rescue work. "The supplies and food we brought when we got in the car have run out, local restaurants are closed, supermarket items are all empty, and eating is also a problem."

Wang Shuai admitted that the rescue team had not eaten yet from this morning until almost noon, "they have been drinking water to satisfy their hunger."

Before publishing, Chao News received the latest news that the Ram Rescue Team's aviation special forces helicopter had carried out winch rescue. As of 10:31 am on the 2nd, the Ram Rescue Team's aviation rescue force had successfully rescued 26 trapped people.

According to He Jun, the leader of the Ram Rescue Team, the seven people rescued by the aviation special service team for the fourth time have been trapped for three days, sitting on the roof without eating or drinking, and the water has flooded onto the tiles. "They saw the Ram Rescue Team's plane coming, and the mother of the child cried loudly while holding the child." He Jun also told reporters that the intensity of frontline rescue was very high, and aviation mission officer Qu Dashuai vomited after multiple flight rescue missions.
