　　On July 28th, the No.5 typhoon "Du Surui" landed on the coast of Fujian. Different from other typhoons that gradually weakened after landing, "Du Surui" traveled long distances, and the precipitation clouds gradually moved northward, approaching Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

　　From July 29th to August 2nd, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was hit by a torrential rain which was rare in history. Some areas such as Mentougou and Fangshan in Beijing were seriously damaged. More than half of counties (districts) in Hebei province suffered from floods, and the affected population in the province was 2,222,900. Among them, the flooded area of Zhuozhou once reached 60% of the urban area, and the average accumulated water was 1 to 1.5 meters, and the deepest part reached 5 to 6 meters. Tianjin, which is low-lying and located at the end of the Nine Rivers, is responsible for 75% of the flood discharge in the Haihe River Basin. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei suffered an unprecedented exam.

　　The flood is the command, and the danger is the war. The party committees and governments of the three places organized a large number of rescue forces to rush to the scene for emergency treatment, and went all out to fight the hard battle against floods and disasters. Grass-roots party organizations play the role of fighting bastion, and party member cadres play the vanguard and exemplary role, uniting and leading the masses to do all the work of flood control and disaster relief.

　　At 10 o’clock on the evening of August 2, Li Ziliang, a cadre from Laiguangying Township, Chaoyang District, Beijing, received a phone call. "The township wants to send people to the disaster-stricken areas for support. Can you go?" "I can!" Li Ziliang answered simply without hesitation. The next day, he followed the big troops to Fangshan District, and walked all the way into Dongguadi Village and Tiangezhuang Village, which were flooded by Dashihe River, to count the damage, check the structural safety of the house, and accumulate first-hand data for subsequent rescue and reconstruction. During the community visit, Li Ziliang found frequent dripping and leaking. He took the initiative to communicate with Laiguangying Township Government, promptly assisted waterproof materials worth more than 140,000 yuan, and helped Chengguan Street to repair damaged buildings.

　　Since the disaster occurred, more than 120,000 party member cadres in Beijing have come from all directions, plunged into the places where the masses need it most, rushed ahead and made selfless contributions, and helped each other and fought together with local cadres and masses, making bright red party flag fly high in the front line of disaster relief and reconstruction.

　　"Watch your step, the river has flooded here, and the ground is particularly slippery. Everyone must pay attention to safety!" On August 3, in Qiaodong Community, Chengzi Street, Mentougou District, Beijing, Huangshan, a cadre of the Organization Department of Beijing Municipal Committee, waved a shovel and reminded his teammates behind him. As one of the first members of the youth commandos for emergency rescue and disaster relief, Huangshan was selected to support the work in Chengzi Street, Mentougou District on August 2. In order to avoid bacterial growth, dredging has become a top priority. Huangshan and the supporting cadres started fighting non-stop after entering the community. The weather was hot, and their feet were sweltering in airtight rubber shoes. Sweat dripped into their eyes and it was too late to wipe them, but no one shouted bitterness and tiredness.

　　Organize to block the gaps in the western part of Zhuozhou city and delay the speed of flood entering the city; Mobilize pumping and drainage facilities such as "dragon suction pump" and drainage pump to increase drainage efforts; Emergency departments at all levels carry out daily "call-and-answer" linkage to rescue teams and keep them on standby. The province has dispatched 4,705 rescue teams with 105,988 people … … Hebei invested a lot of rescue forces to rush to the scene for emergency treatment and went all out to fight against the flood.

　　The three-level power departments of cities and counties in Hebei Province carried out 24-hour emergency duty to repair damaged power facilities. State Grid organized State Grid Tianjin, Hebei North and Shanxi to send operation and maintenance support personnel to deploy low-voltage emergency generator vehicles and small generators to support Hebei.

　　Hebei Provincial Department of Transportation, in accordance with the principle of "rushing with the break, rushing with the break", has taken measures such as setting up emergency bridges and opening temporary sidewalks to rush through the broken road sections 24 hours a day and 48 hours in special circumstances to ensure the smooth transportation of disaster relief personnel and materials. For non-broken-off water-damaged sections, strengthen inspections, timely clean up side slopes and rockfalls, deal with subgrade landslides, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent secondary disasters.

　　To stabilize the "vegetable basket" of the people, the supply channels of daily necessities such as meat, eggs, vegetables, milk and fruits in Hebei Province are smooth and sufficient; Strictly prevent secondary disasters, strengthen inspection and early warning of geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides, and investigate and rectify potential risks of large and medium-sized reservoirs; Strengthening environmental disinfection, the province has sent more than 320 health and epidemic prevention teams with more than 1,000 people.

　　On July 29th, in the Tianjin Emergency Rescue Command Center, the big screen flashed with real-time meteorological dynamics and river regime … … The forecast of possible floods in Ziya River, Yongding River and Daqing River came. Since this flood, 21 rivers in Haihe River Basin have experienced floods exceeding the police, and 8 of them have experienced the biggest floods since the measured data were available. Tianjin quickly mobilized all forces, opened flood storage and detention areas, paid attention to preventing floods and properly relocating the masses, ensured the safety of people’s lives and property, and built a safety barrier in the face of floods.

　　A flat and efficient command system was quickly launched in Tianjin: responsible comrades of various departments went to the front line of flood control and flood fighting to deploy and dispatch flood control and mass transfer and resettlement work; Meteorology, water affairs, emergency, public security, urban management, fire rescue, etc. quickly deploy professional backbones to the emergency rescue command center to ensure wake-up calls; In accordance with the plan, all districts should ensure the smooth flow of information and do a good job in flood control, emergency rescue and disaster relief.

　　Zhao Tianyou, a member of the expert group on flood control work of Tianjin Water Affairs Bureau, said that in response to the flood control process, Tianjin Water Affairs Bureau sent four flood control inspection and guidance groups to go deep into the flood control front lines of Wuqing, Zhangzhou, Jinghai and Binhai New Area to do a good job in flood control and flood fighting with all districts. Fifteen flood control expert groups and 196 technical backbones were sent to the front line of flood control and emergency rescue, and together with all districts, they made every effort to do a good job in the use of flood storage and detention areas and patrol dikes to check risks. It also assembled a retired expert group in the field of flood control in the whole city to form three flood control service groups, providing technical guidance for the reinforcement of the dangerous section of Jiyun Canal, the application of the Yongding River flood storage and detention area and the inspection of key river embankments, and assisting all districts to do a good job in water regime judgment, flood control and emergency rescue, material transportation and disaster disposal.

　　It is understood that after more than 20 days of flooding, as of August 25, Tianjin has accumulated more than 3.5 billion cubic meters of upstream floods, and it is estimated that about 700 million cubic meters of floods will enter the country in the future. The main flood channels such as Yongding River, Daqing River and Ziya River in Tianjin have entered the end of flood discharge. Sixteen planning teams, including relevant industry authorities in Beijing, town streets and municipal planning institutes, municipal architectural institutes, Beijing Jianzhu University, Beijing University of Technology and Tsinghua Tongheng, focused on the destruction of houses, roads and infrastructure in villages after the disaster, and went deep into 178 administrative villages in 8 towns and streets in Mentougou District to carry out post-disaster planning, collecting first-hand information for the next scientific post-disaster reconstruction planning.

　　At present, some reservoirs in Hebei are running at high water level, and flood storage and detention areas such as Dongdian and xian county flood plain are still retreating, and the river water potential is generally stable. The Water Resources Department of Hebei Province adjusted the emergency response of flood prevention level III to level IV at 9: 00 on August 25th. All localities and departments are taking measures to speed up the pace of post-disaster reconstruction. Baoding has set up nine professional groups for post-disaster agricultural production recovery to promote the implementation of key measures for disaster relief, guide the recovery of agricultural production as soon as possible, and minimize disaster losses. In view of the damage caused by flood to farmland, water conservancy, school buildings, electricity, roads and bridges in the county, xian county has actively carried out comprehensive drainage declaration projects. According to the water damage of water conservancy projects, Hengshui City has formulated relevant work plans, searched and analyzed the weak links in the water conservancy project system, established a post-disaster reconstruction project library, and planned a number of water conservancy projects, such as river flood control standards, urban flood control construction, flood control optimization and upgrading, and ecological restoration of river water system.
