Post-disaster reconstruction in Qi County, Hebi City

Villagers return home to rescue Maizi village to carry out epidemic prevention

　　Qi County of Hebi City is close to the Wei River, the Communism Canal, and the Qi River. During the heavy rain in Henan, the upstream flood discharge caused 16 villages in Xigang Town, Qi County to be affected, and more than 30,000 people were moved.

　　On July 27, a reporter from the Beijing News drove from Qixian County to Xigang Town. The road surface of the township had been dry. Villagers on the roadside were clearing silt and a small amount of stagnant water in front of their homes.

Most of the 10,000 catties of wheat stored in the home of Tan Shuqiang, a villager in Dalizhuang Village, which was hardest hit in the flood detention area, was destroyed by blisters. He had been busy for most of the day and only grabbed a dozen bags.

　　Liu Weijiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Xigang Town, told the Beijing News that since the 26th, some farmers have been allowed to return to the village to organize production and self-rescue.

A reporter from the Beijing News saw in Liuguaizhuang Village that the villagers gathered the surviving cows together and rushed to places with shallow water. Some people caught the pigs that had run out of the pigpen and transported them to other places for feeding. , The farmers near the road spread the unsoaked wheat in their homes on the road to dry.

　　Liu Weijiang said that the post-disaster reconstruction has just begun. Next, the main task of the town government is to help the villagers drain water, treat animal carcasses as harmless, and strictly kill them. "The most worrying thing now is the epidemic, and we must actively prevent and control it. ."

　　Villagers protect the embankment in heavy rain for three days and two nights

　　Shinaimiao Village, Xigang Town, Qi County, is adjacent to Qi River in the north and communism canal in the south.

Forty to fifty years ago, a four-to-five-meter-high dyke was built around the village. The dyke enclosed the village in a circle to prevent water from outside the village from flooding into the village.

In the village, there are six or seven river embankments, which are convenient for villagers to enter and exit.

　　Because of the embankment of the village, before all the staff evacuated on July 24, Shinaimiao Village did not flood into the village.

However, as the water level outside the village rises, it has become necessary to block the river embankment.

　　On July 19, the heavy rain began, and the enclosure of the river embankment was also carried out in the rain.

Forklifts transferred from outside the village brought sand and soil, and the villagers shoveled the soil, filled bags, and blocked the embankment.

Xin Lianhe, a 65-year-old villager, is one of the embankment protectors. He told the Beijing News reporter that they did not go home for three days and two nights. There was a house at the dike entrance that was not used by others, and everyone rested there.

I ate instant noodles, soaked in water in a hot pot and eaten.

At 7 or 8 in the evening, you need to patrol the embankment. Two people work in a team and change shifts every half an hour. The rest of the people can spread a blanket in the house at the entrance of the embankment and sit and chat. No one dares to fall asleep for fear of flooding. .

　　After the heavy rain, Xigang Town arranged for the evacuation of people from five villages in the flood detention area.

By 11 o'clock on July 24, when the last batch of rescue boats was about to leave, village officials went door to door in the village to check whether anyone had yet to evacuate.

70-year-old Chen Xianlin was unwilling to evacuate the chickens and sheep, so he climbed onto the roof to avoid investigation by the village officials.

　　More than an hour later, Li Wei, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Xigang Town, came to Chen Xianlin's house to find someone, and finally saw Chen Xianlin on the roof.

Later, auxiliary police from the police station and rescue team personnel were also present.

After repeated persuasion, Chen Xianlin walked down the ladder to the roof and evacuated with the rescue team.

　　The school becomes a temporary settlement point, three desks are put together into a bed

　　Xin Changguo, a 78-year-old villager from Shinai Temple, joined the evacuation team as early as July 19.

Because the three daughters of the family got married, he took his wife and some clothes in the car to the temporary resettlement site of Xigang Town Junior Middle School that night.

That night, due to the temporary activation of the resettlement site, only two classrooms were opened in the school, one for men and one for women.

　　Xin Changguo said that there were more than 100 people in each classroom at that time. They either squatted on the ground or leaned in the corner on the package they brought, and some lay on the table to rest.

"In fact, everyone feels uneasy, the home is still there, and they are not willing to leave home."

　　On the second day, the resettled villagers were divided into classrooms, and the space for rest became slightly more spacious.

The villagers put three school desks together as a bed.

The conditions are difficult, but Xin Changguo said, "I am here for asylum, not for a nursing home."

　　On the afternoon of July 21, the villagers in the junior middle school of Xigang town got on a military vehicle to the resettlement site of the vocational secondary school in Qixian County.

"There is one bed for one person. That night, the elderly and the physically disabled were assigned a quilt, and they slept on the bed when they were in good health. After a day or two, everyone was assigned a quilt and a mattress."

　　On July 26, more than 1,700 villagers were resettled in Qixian Vocational Secondary School.

A reporter from the Beijing News saw at the scene that staff were washing the roads of the campus, material vehicles were constantly coming in and out, and mineral water, fruit beer, instant noodles, and biscuits were piled on the first floor of the office building.

At the entrance of the building, students from the local hairdressing school are giving free haircuts to the elderly.

After 11 o'clock, the cafeteria was already open, and the meals were noodles and steamed buns in sour soup.

　　When the villagers gathered in the dormitory to chat, a reporter from the Beijing News asked about the disaster. A villager in Yuanzhuang village suddenly burst into tears when he remembered that his ten acres of wheat had been destroyed by blisters.

Facing the villagers who came to greet her, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then she turned to the corner to wipe her tears.

After a while, the villagers were told to go downstairs to carry supplies. She put on a mask to avoid being seen by the tears.

　　Villagers were allowed to return to the village in batches to organize production and self-rescue

　　After the flood discharge in the upper reaches of Qi County, Tan Shuqiang, a villager in Dalizhuang Village, Xigang Town, moved to a resettlement site in the county seat.

On July 26, he was the first batch of permission to return to the village to organize production and self-rescue.

His task is to go home the first time to rescue his own wheat.

　　At around 5 in the morning, Tan Shuqiang set off to the Xigang Town Government to stamp the pass.

When I got off the car at a distance of two kilometers from the entrance of the village, Dashui was still in the calf.

He wandered through the water in slippers and walked home for fifteen minutes.

Along the way, he saw dead pigs soaking in the water and catfish tens of centimeters floating down from upstream.

　　Tan Shuqiang's home is in the west of the village and consists of five bungalows.

The big water still stayed in the yard, and the buckets, shoes, and children's clothes in the house were all floating in the water.

Fortunately, all the bedding at home was placed on the top of the cabinet and was not flooded. The important refrigerators, TVs, and electric tricycles in the home were transferred to the high-lying villagers' homes in the village before the evacuation.

　　There was still no signal in the village. Tan Shuqiang wanted to call the uncle of the child who was draining water in the village.

In the next shed, more than 10,000 catties of wheat were laid down. Soaked in water for a long time, the wheat grains have swollen and become sour.

Only a small part of the wheat piled up high has not been soaked in water.

　　He quickly took out the woven bag and the big water basin for washing clothes, put the remaining wheat in, and carried them into the hall one by one. After working for several hours, he filled a dozen bags of wheat.

It was four or five o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the settlement point. His clothes were soaked in sweat, the parts of his feet covered by the uppers of slippers were swollen white, and the rest of the positions and the thighs were all tanned.

　　After the disaster, drainage and elimination are carried out in an orderly manner

　　At noon on July 27, Li Haishan, the party secretary of Dalizhuang Village, drove from the village to the town government and asked the town to send him some more water pumps and some supplies.

After coordination, he allocated 4 water pumps, 100 boxes of mineral water and 50 boxes of instant noodles.

　　Liu Weijiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Xigang Town, told the Beijing News that from the 26th, some farmers have been allowed to return to the village to organize production and self-rescue. “Feed the surviving pigs or move them elsewhere. If you have wheat at home, hurry up. rescue."

　　On the afternoon of July 27, Qi County held a flood control emergency press conference.

At the meeting, the relevant person in charge of the County Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters introduced that as of now, the county’s affected population is approximately 171,500, more than 1,800 houses have been collapsed and damaged, and 48,000 people have been transferred. There have been no deaths and 5 resettlement sites. A total of 3727 people were resettled.

At present, all urban roads have been restored to traffic, and the power supply restoration rate has reached more than 90%. All units, communities (communities) and villages throughout the county have been wiped out, covering an area of ​​2.73 million square meters.

　　Liu Weijiang said that the post-disaster reconstruction has just begun.

On the one hand, the town has distributed dozens of water pumps to the villages below to help them drain the stagnant water.

On the other hand, the county's supply and marketing cooperatives and the Agricultural Bureau organized forklifts and other tools to salvage dead pigs and other animal carcasses, and transport them to the treatment plant for harmless treatment.

　　“In the follow-up, staff from county hospitals and health centers will be organized to kill in the village, so that the village can meet the qualified standard of living. Because the village has been using groundwater for centralized water supply before, this flood may cause groundwater pollution. After returning to the village Villagers will temporarily drink mineral water or the fire brigade pulls the water tank to uniformly deploy and transport the domestic water.” Liu Weijiang said, “The most worrying thing now is the epidemic, which must be actively prevented and controlled.”
