The reporter learned from the Provincial Headquarters for the Safety and Precaution of Asian Elephant Groups Migrating North from Yunnan Province that as of 17:30 on June 12, the elephant groups continued to move around in a small area in Shijie Township, Yimen County, Yuxi City.
The single elephant was out of the group for 7 days. At 17:40 on June 11, it left Anning City, moved 6.15 kilometers south, and entered Jinning District, 14.3 kilometers away from the elephant group. The elephants were safe.
Continuous rainfall at the site poses a risk of geological disasters, and difficulties in traffic diversion, safety precautions, and monitoring deployment.
According to statistics, the on-site headquarters deployed 1,336 emergency response personnel and police personnel on the same day, dispatched 341 muck trucks, 58 engineering vehicles, 202 emergency vehicles, 18 drones, evacuated 947 households and 3548 people and fed them. 2 tons of elephant food and 2 barrels of salt water supplement the food supply of Asian elephants.
