Hong Kong dropped heavy rain and flooded in many areas. Deng Bingqiang, director of the Security Bureau, said that Hong Kong flooding was not directly related to Shenzhen flood discharge.
According to Sing Tao Daily, Deng Bingqiang said at a joint press conference on Friday (September 8) that the flood discharge of Shenzhen Reservoir is a security measure for Shenzhen and Hong Kong.The water level in the Hong Kong river has not risen to the seawall standard due to flood discharge, and flooding in multiple areas is not directly related to flood discharge.
For the citizen's questioning whether the flood drainage notice is too late, Deng Bingqiang said that according to the report mechanism, the Shenzhen side will issue warning to Hong Kong before considering the Shenzhen Reservoir flood discharge, and notify it three hours ago, butDue to the relatively urgent rain and low predictability, the Hong Kong Police Office received a decision to notify the flood discharge in 45 minutes before the flood discharge.
Deng Bingqiang said that after receiving the notification of flood discharge, the Police Office immediately informed the relevant departments, including the North District Civil Affairs Office, the channel, the Fire Department, the Water Affairs Department, the Social Welfare Department, etc.Before the flood discharge, a special car was sent to the villagers that may be affected to arrange villagers to evacuate, but the relevant villagers thought that there was no need to evacuate after the situation was evaluated.
He emphasized that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has very close communication with the Shenzhen government.
