  In the early morning of July 7, there was a rainstorm in Fuliang County, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province. As of 20: 00 on the 7th, there was heavy rain in the county, and the precipitation in the upper reaches of Fuliang Town passed through Gongqiao Town, Jiangcun Township and other places exceeded 250 mm, and the water level of Changjiang River soared.

  Will such heavy rainfall affect the safety of people in low-lying areas? Do you want to transfer people? The county government and township leaders are worried.

  At 14: 56 on the 7th, the meteorological bureau of Fuliang County released the first local rainstorm red warning signal this year. The release of this rainstorm red warning triggered the whole network release mechanism of the county red warning. At 15: 44, all mobile phone users in the county received the red warning message of rainstorm.

  At the same time, the meteorological and hydrological departments, after joint consultation, judged that the Changjiang River would have a flood exceeding the warning level of 4 meters, which immediately blew the whistle of the county’s large-scale emergency transfer of people in low-lying areas.

  In the Old Town Village of Fuliang Town, Yu Shunfa, a meteorological information officer, immediately reported to the two committees of the village after receiving the rainstorm red warning signal. The two committees of the village organized village cadres, backbone militia and party member to help the masses transfer. As of 20: 00 that night, there were 320 households with 1,351 people transferred from Old Town Village.

  "Thank you so much!" On July 8, Dengsheng Wang, a villager who moved to safety before the flood, took Yu Shunfa’s hand and thanked him again and again.

  At 3 am on the 8th, the flood peak water level of Changjiang River reached 33.14 meters, exceeding the warning water level by 4.64 meters, and the tributaries such as Jianxi River and Xiaobeigang experienced super-historical floods. When the flood peak reached Fuliang Town, the low-lying area was covered with Wang Yang. After dawn, Dengsheng Wang rushed to the hillside near his home and saw that the second floor of his home had been soaked in the flood.

  During the rainstorm, Fuliang Town and nearly 20 townships including Jiangcun Township, Wanggang Township, Jinggongqiao Town and Legong Township urgently organized personnel transfer. As of 0: 00 on the 8th, 495 houses collapsed and damaged in Fuliang County due to the disaster, and 23,136 people were transferred urgently. Due to timely warning and effective prevention, there were no casualties.
