China News Service, Zhoushan, July 25 (Qian Chenfei, Huang Lingyi) The wind and rain stopped, and the sky was slightly bright...Different from yesterday’s violent wind, at about 12:30 on the 25th, with the landing of the typhoon "Fireworks", Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, looks a little "calm".

  Typhoon is no stranger to Zhoushan, a coastal city.

Compared with the fierce "fireworks", the conscious actions of the people in Zhoushan, the timely and effective rescue and transfer of government departments everywhere, have made this city a little more "easy" under the test of nature.

  At 18:00 on the 24th, shortly after the reporter arrived in Zhoushan, the power of the "fireworks" gradually became apparent.

The reporter just walked a few meters under the umbrella, and the umbrella was broken.

At that time, there were few people going out on the sidewalks in the urban area of ​​Zhoushan. Many shops along the street were closed, and flood control sandbags were piled at the entrance of the shops.

  At night on the 24th, heavy rains in many parts of Zhoushan, coupled with seawater intrusion, brought no small test to urban drainage.

In the early morning of the 25th, as the wind weakened, this small coastal town seemed a bit quiet.

  Ms. Ma, who lives in Taowan New Village, Lincheng Street, Zhoushan City, laughed at herself when she was "woke up" by the typhoon last night. She saw the rain weaken and see the situation. I also moved the car to a relatively high place, hoping to reduce the loss caused by stagnant water."

  "No wonder," Zhang Nianci, a local market manager at the Jindao vegetable farm, said that as a native of Zhoushan, he said that the most important thing to deal with a typhoon is to "take care of yourself and not cause trouble."

"The location of the food market where I work is relatively flat. In order to deal with this typhoon, we installed stainless steel strips at the bottom of the rolling door of the food field early. After closing the rolling door, we will pile sandbags at the door."

  Not only is the people's "conscious response", the "Zhoushan speed" also makes local people feel more at ease.

  At about 11:20 that day, the reporter saw standing water near Xinghai Road in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, which could submerge the reporter's calf.

Chen Jiong, deputy investigator of the Zhoushan Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, said, “The stagnant water area here is about the size of a football field. After discovering the stagnant water, we rushed to deal with it immediately, and the water can be drained in about an hour. "

  It is reported that since 10:00 on the 24th, a total of more than 6 kilometers of roads in the city have been flooded, with a maximum depth of about 30-40 cm.

Many roads in many local areas have been flooded to varying degrees due to seawater intrusion.

At noon on the 25th, thanks to measures such as emergency discharge and sandbag blocking, urban roads have basically been normal.

  In addition to stagnant water, the strong wind brought by the "fireworks" caused many trees in Zhoushan to fall down.

The reporter saw in the local Changzhi Island near Changzhi West Road that many trees about 15-18 cm in diameter were uprooted, obstructing traffic.

  According to the staff of the Landscaping Management Section of the New Town Public Utilities Management Center who handled the site, in order to ensure smooth traffic and pedestrian safety, he has dealt with the dangerous situation since 4 o'clock today and has handled more than 500 crooked trees.

  The rain was intertwined with sweat. When asked about their names, the above-mentioned staff silently waved their hands and continued to invest in the rescue.

  In response to the above-mentioned roadside trees falling down and broken branches, the city has dispatched more than 580 emergency teams to deal with more than 120 hidden dangers such as falling trees.

  Whether it's the people's spontaneous "take care of yourself" or the government's "everything counts" of the government's emergency rescue, it is a true portrayal of the city's active response to typhoons.

And "passing calmly" is the biggest wish of everyone right now.
