In the early morning of yesterday, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred in Tangshan City, northern China. Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places all had a sense of earthquake.At the same time, the continuous heavy rainfall has made some parts of southern China become a country, and Jiangxi, Hubei and other places may face the threat of the largest flood since 1998.
On July 28, 1976, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in Tangshan, causing 242,769 people to die, and 164,851 were seriously injured.In the hearts of many people, the shadow of that earthquake has not dissipated so far.Yesterday's earthquake obviously paniced many people.
The Tangshan City Emergency Administration released news yesterday that the earthquake was an aftershock of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976. It was unlikely that the former Tangshan Earthquake District had recently occurred at level 5 or more.
The Beijing Earthquake Administration said yesterday that the earthquake seismic is about 180 kilometers from the center of Beijing. According to the historical earthquake case and physical model analysis, due to the distance and the magnitude of the earthquake, the earthquake will not be on the crust stress of Beijing's crustal stress and change.Earthquake activities have a significant impact.
The earthquake in the north may be just a false alarm, but the floods in the south have really flooded.According to the Ministry of Water Resources, since July 4, there are more than 212 rivers in the rivers. Among them, 72 rivers have exceeded the guarantee water level and 19 ultra -historical records.Taihu last 15 days exceeded the alert water level.In this regard, the Ministry of Water Resources has raised the response of water and drought disaster defense to the second level.
At present, the most serious flood is Jiangxi Province.As of yesterday morning, Jiangxi has four hydrological stations to break through the historical pole, and the water level is still rising.As of 7 o'clock yesterday, the water level at the Poyang Station of Raohe Raohe in Jiangxi reached 22.74 meters, exceeding the water level of 0.13 meters in 1998; the water level of Kangshan Station of Poyang Lake also exceeded the highest water level in 1998, the highest water level reached 22.44 meters;22.52 meters, reaching 22.53 meters.
This indicates that China's largest freshwater lake MDASH; MDASH; Poyang Lake's water level broke through the historical pole value since the hydrological record, and more than 5.21 million people in the Poyang Lake Basin alone were affected.
In addition to Jiangxi, Hubei also has a hydrological station water level breakthrough in historical pole.At 6 o'clock on July 11, Yangxin County's Fuhe water level reached 23.7 meters, which was the highest flood in history of 23.69 meters in 1998.
The flood allowed the emergency response to the emergency flood prevention of the six provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.Jiangxi Province has been promoted to the highest level first -level emergency response. Hubei, Anhui, and Zhejiang are secondary emergency responses, and Hunan and Jiangsu are third -level emergency responses.
In recent days, flood relief has become the main theme of the Chinese media, which is inevitable to remind people of the Great Flood in 1998.
In 1998, the general basin of the river and other rivers such as the Nenjiang and Songhua River in the Yangtze River and the northeast. A total of 29 provinces and regions and municipalities in China suffered from flood disasters.The direct economic loss reached 166 billion yuan (RMB, the same below, about S $ 33.2 billion).
As of July 10, the number of floods in China's flood disasters this year reached 33.85 million, 141 people died and disappeared, and the direct economic loss was 69.59 billion yuan.As the flood period is not over this year, the losses caused by floods will increase.
From the outbreak of the crown disease at the beginning of the year to the flood now, China is obviously another year of disaster.In addition to natural disasters, the international situation facing China is far more dangerous than in 1998, and there are no signs of improvement.
However, there is no panic in Chinese society.In this regard, China has successfully controlled the crown disease epidemic.Compared with the flood, people seem to be more worried about the rebound of the epidemic, which directly affects their own food, food, housing, and transportation as in the first few months of this year.On the other hand, China ’s comprehensive national strength and ability to deal with natural disasters have far exceeded 1998, and the public's confidence in overcoming floods is far better than that year.
According to official statistics, as of July 10, compared with the same period of the same period in the past five years, this year's flood disasters, the number of disappearances of disasters, the number of collapsed houses, and direct economic losses have decreased by 17%, 50%, 75%, and 23 respectively.%.
But disaster is disaster.For those victims who have lost their homes and harvests, the pain is really cut, and it is by no means that the media can sing and fight the floods.At the same time, the increase in the victims will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of China's official to complete the goal of poverty alleviation this year.How to help the victims and the poor out of the predicament will be whether the official can fulfill the new challenge of building a well -off society in an all -round way this year.
