Danger! What are the casualties caused by a flash flood in Datong County, Xining City, Qinghai Province?

So far, seventeen people have died and 36 people have lost contact.

The harm caused by flash floods is very terrible, and the speed of flash floods is very rapid. When heavy rainfall occurs in a certain area for a long time, the probability of flash floods will be greatly increased. Therefore, the local meteorological bureau and relevant government departments must promptly relocate people in mountainous areas and dangerous areas. A flash flood occurred in Datong County, Xining City, Qinghai Province.

Due to heavy rainfall in the Datong area of ​​Xining City, Qinghai Province, the meteorological department reported that the probability of flash floods in the area will greatly increase. Sure enough, a very serious flash flood occurred in Datong County. It's just that the disaster struck so quickly that most people had no chance to evacuate. During this disaster, according to currently known information, the total attack resulted in the death of seventeen people and the loss of contact with many others. No one can bear such consequences, so the local government dispatched rescue personnel as soon as possible, and also dispatched a large amount of rescue equipment and supplies. It is caused by the large number of mountainous areas in the area.

Of course, heavy rainfall is only one of the main factors that caused this flash flood, followed by the large number of mountainous areas in the area. Especially the Datong County area is surrounded by mountains. Therefore, long-term rainfall will directly lead to flash floods. Flash floods flowed rapidly down the canyon, bringing a large amount of debris and rocks along the way. A large number of houses and roads were washed away along the way, and a large number of people were unable to move in time. More rescue forces should be invested.

The local flash flood disaster is very serious, so the local government should invest more efforts. I think the rescue force of two thousand people is completely insufficient, and we need to continue to send more people. In addition, the number of rescue equipment and assault boats also needs to continue to increase. Rescue departments from surrounding counties can also join in to help evacuate people and carry out rescue operations in Datong County. In addition, local traffic routes should be repaired in a timely manner so that the roads can operate smoothly.
