Wu Huicai, deputy mayor of Yongzhou and commander-in-chief of the city’s defense index, held two flood control consultation and dispatching meetings, and sat in command all night. Yongzhou Meteorological Bureau started the progressive early warning service and call service, and called the government office and emergency management departments to report the weather. Early warning signals and rain reports are sent to emergency management, urban management, hydrology, water conservancy, natural resources, transportation and other departments at the first time.
In ningyuan county, there was heavy rain from 9th to 10th, and the precipitation in Paradise Town reached 172.1mm..
Ningyuan Meteorological Bureau carries out progressive early warning service and call service. The telephone number of the duty officer is Yingxian Flood Control Office, County Water Conservancy Bureau, County Natural Resources Bureau and County Emergency Management Bureau. After the township reaches the corresponding rainfall level, it is called the township leader again. With the continuous increase of rainfall, the county meteorological bureau continued to call the county party secretary, county magistrate and deputy magistrate by phone and WeChat, and submitted the rain situation in a timely and active manner.
After receiving the rainstorm forecast and early warning information from the meteorological department, Qi Outline, the executive deputy magistrate of ningyuan county and the deputy commander of the county’s flood prevention index, held a flood prevention meeting, and all departments and townships organized personnel to strengthen inspections of geological disaster points, and evacuated 398 people in advance and resettled 205 people urgently.

Jiangxi Anfu: One-hour call mechanism plays a big role
On the afternoon of May 8, Anfu County, Ji ‘an City, Jiangxi Province suffered from strong convective weather, and some areas were accompanied by strong lightning and short-term heavy precipitation. Among them, the precipitation in Cangkeng Village of Chigu Township reached 65 mm in one hour and 110 mm in three hours. Under the "one-hour call" mechanism, despite the landslide on the upstream hillside, there were no casualties due to proper defense in advance.
On the afternoon of the 8 th, Anfu County Meteorological Bureau issued a yellow warning of lightning, pointing out that there were strong convective weather such as short-term heavy precipitation in the local area. At 1700 hours, there was 1 hour and 30 mm heavy precipitation in Chigu Township. After consultation and analysis, the duty officer of the county meteorological observatory thought that Chigu Township would suffer from the train effect of single echo, and there would be heavy precipitation one after another. At 18 o’clock, the three-hour precipitation in the township has reached 50 mm. The duty officer decisively started the "one-hour call" mechanism to inform the leaders of Chigu Township and the village secretaries about the rain situation and forecast.
The "one-hour call" mechanism is an extension of the "six-hour transfer at the provincial level", "three-hour notification at the municipal level" and "one-hour call at the county level" mechanism established by Jiangxi Meteorological Bureau in conjunction with various departments. Anfu County Meteorological Bureau issued a document to implement the "one-hour call" linkage mechanism. The mechanism requires that meteorological departments should call party and government leaders at all levels, emergency responders of disaster-related departments, information officers, etc. to report the actual situation of rain by telephone when disastrous weather is about to happen or has already occurred, which may lead to disastrous results, and do a good job of prevention. Other disaster-related departments immediately took various countermeasures after receiving the call.
Xiao Donghua, deputy secretary of Cangkeng Village Committee, immediately took the rain to check the houses in the village that were in the hidden danger of geological disasters after receiving the call. When he searched for hidden dangers in the stagnant water and reminded the villagers, he only heard a bang on the Tongjiang River. "I was so scared that my cold sweat came out." He recalled.
Xiao Donghua rushed over and saw a landslide on the hillside upstream of the dam of Fupi Power Station. Hundreds of cubic meters of soil and a big camphor tree were washed into the Tongjiang River. He immediately informed the power station manager, "Hurry up and open the gate, which collapsed hundreds of cubic meters of soil and a big camphor tree. Don’t get involved!" The duty officer of Fupi Power Station immediately opened all the sluice gates, and the muddy soil mixed with branches was washed away by the flood instantly, and the power station was safe and sound.
"At that time, the rain was so heavy that I couldn’t open my eyes. I always thought about waiting until the rain stopped. The staff of the Meteorological Bureau said on the phone that there would be heavy rain. I think I still have to take a look before I can rest assured." Afterwards, Xiao Donghua pointed to some tiny landslides on the roadside and said, "If you don’t inform them in advance on this rainy day, you really don’t know what happened." (Roman)

Zhenning, Guizhou: The precipitation in Bobo Village is 244.6 mm! 34 students arrived at school safely!
At 14: 35 on May 9, it stopped raining for half a day in Bobo Village, Shuanglongshan Street, Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, and began to crackle underground again.
"Today, two people are going to Shuanglong Mountain to pick up the children who go to school." Yang Peifu, a village party secretary who has just finished reporting from Shuanglongshan Sub-district Office, is busy arranging to pick up the children. However, compared with the entanglement in the morning, the pick-up in the afternoon is a routine work. "It’s a shower now, and the Meteorological Bureau said it would stop soon."
From 8: 00 on the 8th to 8: 00 on the 9th, the strongest precipitation weather process occurred in Guizhou Province since the flood season, and the accumulated precipitation in Bozhuo Village reached 244.6mm..
"I haven’t had such a heavy rain in memory for nearly 10 years." Yang Peifu recalled that this urgent and fierce rain began at 4 am on the 9 th, and the precipitation reached 100 mm in less than an hour.
Fortunately for Yang Peifu, he received a meteorological warning message less than 16: 30 on the 8th-"It is expected that there will be a heavy precipitation weather process on the 9th, accompanied by strong convective weather in the local area, so please pay attention to lightning protection safety and road and water traffic safety."
The emergency horn installed in the village not long ago just came in handy. Because the villagers are all Buyi people, and some elderly people can’t understand Chinese, Yang Peifu first broadcast a weather warning message in Chinese and then broadcast it in Buyi language. After broadcasting the warning message, Yang Peifu repeatedly urged the villagers not to sleep too hard at night. It is best to leave a young man to watch the night in a crowded home in case it is too hasty to move.
At 8 o’clock on the 9th, the rain gradually subsided, and the safety threat of villagers living in low-lying areas was temporarily lifted, but another problem made Yang Peifu worry. In the village, 22 middle school students had to go to school in Zhenning County, 5.5 kilometers away, and 12 children had to go to primary schools and kindergartens in Shuanglongshan Street, 6 kilometers away.
"Although there is a car to send, the risk on the road is not small!" Yang Peifu said that from Bobo Village to the county seat and Shuanglongshan Street, you have to pass through a mountain pond and a bridge. Although the rain has stopped at present, it will continue to rain for a while, so you can’t rush to drive when the water rises in these two places.
At this time, Yang Peifu thought of the Meteorological Bureau. "It is expected that there will be showers or thunderstorms during the day, and the rainfall will not be too great and the duration will not be long." After receiving a positive reply, Yang Peifu immediately called the villagers to drive the children to school.
At 9: 30 on the 9th, the last 3-year-old child was safely sent to the kindergarten, and Yang Peifu was relieved.
At 10 o’clock on the 9 th, Zhao Yaqiong, a staff member of the Agricultural Service Center of Shuanglongshan Sub-district Office, rushed to the village to carry out disaster investigation. "As soon as the early warning information of the meteorological department was issued, disaster prevention and disaster investigation were arranged in advance." (Yang Chunzhu, Zhang Ya)
