Multiple rescue teams are carrying out dredging and drainage work in key areas of Zhuozhou, Hebei Province for emergency response and drainage
As the water level in the Zhuozhou area of Hebei Province continues to decline, multiple rescue teams are carrying out dredging and drainage work at key locations in the area. At present, five professional teams dispatched by the National Safety Production Emergency Rescue Center are also working in Zhuozhou.
CCTV reporter Zheng Yizhe: I am located in Shui'an Flower City in the northwest of Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. This community is adjacent to the North Juma River, with an area of 200000 square meters and approximately 40000 permanent residents. It is also a community that has been severely affected by floods and has a wide range of impacts. After meeting the drainage conditions, four rescue teams including the National Oil and Gas Pipeline Emergency Rescue Langfang Team and Shandong Fire Brigade came to the site to carry out drainage operations.

After 38 members of the Langfang team arrived with 7 professional equipment, including heavy rescue vehicles, they carried out drainage work overnight. The underground garage and storage room of the residential building have been flooded, so the building cannot restore power, network, water supply, etc. There are currently 5 pumping pumps operating simultaneously at this drainage point, and an additional one will be added tonight.
The underground parking garage has a relatively large area and a complex structure. Unlike open water drainage, rescue personnel can only discharge the accumulated water bit by bit from the entrance. As the water surface descends, rescue personnel must constantly move the position of the drainage pump in order to effectively discharge the accumulated water. This means that "people follow the pump", and the length of the drainage pipes and cables required for the power supply of the water pump needs to be continuously extended. The drainage pipeline has now extended from the underground garage to the drainage outlet for nearly 300 meters. The drainage outlet is placed in the North Juma River channel to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment.

The rescue team set up two caring and convenient stations on the scene, which can be used for residents to charge their phones, boil hot water, and provide internet access. While carrying out drainage operations, make full use of favorable conditions such as the built-in generator set and satellite communication equipment of large equipment to meet the basic living needs of the people to the greatest extent possible.
