crisis management game.

Chapter 154 Decision Making
I have to say that Gu Ji's underground waterproof work suit is really eye-catching, and it completely forms two extreme contrasts with the suits and leather shoes of everyone present.

"Vidi, you did what happened to the state government hospital?"

"Yes."

Faced with the chief minister's question, Gu Ji directly admitted that he urgently needs to express himself now. Only the more outstanding his own ability is, the group of government leaders will listen to and adopt his opinions seriously.

Fatina on the side also looked at him with a little surprise.

Unexpectedly, in addition to professional knowledge of meteorology and disaster prevention, Gu Ji also has skills related to public health.

Among the scene, only the Minister of Health looked at him a little strangely, it seemed that because of this, it seemed that his arrangements were not in place.

Appreciation flashed in the Chief Minister's eyes.

"Experts from the Disaster Management Department said that you were the first to discover the landfall of the tropical depression. Can you tell us your thoughts on this disaster?"

"The intensity of the South Asian monsoon is stronger and its control time is longer, coupled with the disturbance of the Middle East wind wave in the tropical convergence zone, the northerly position of the South Asian monsoon trough and the stronger cross-equatorial jet stream in Somalia, the combined effect provides sufficient water vapor over the Indian continent, which will cause continuous Heavy rain, so..."

Speaking of this, Gu paused a few times, and said a decision that surprised everyone: "Before the traffic is completely paralyzed, the people in Brahmaputra and its tributaries in the state should be transferred immediately. .”

"Transfer the entire river basin people? My God, young man, your courage is really admirable!"

The first person to speak was the Minister of Highway Traffic and Transportation. Although there were praises between the lines, the eccentric tone made people very uncomfortable.

Obviously, Gu Ji's decision was too bold.

Not even the Chief Minister expected him to say that.

"Large-scale transfer, in case of accidents or infectious diseases during the process, the medical system may not be able to afford it!"

"The Minister of Health is right. Do you know how much money and materials will be spent behind the transfer of at least tens of millions of people just because of a heavy rain?"

"The key is that many people don't want to leave their residences at all. For our police department, it is too difficult to dissuade them!"

"Yeah, this decision is too unrealistic."

"Young people nowadays..."

……

For a while, under the leadership of the Minister of Transportation and Health, many senior officials refuted Gu Ji's strategy.

At the scene, only the Minister of Disaster Management did not speak, and Fatima beside him was quickly searching for various materials he had prepared.

Dongdong, the chief minister tapped on the desk lightly, and the meeting room gradually became quiet.

He looked at Gu Ji.

"What is the specific reason for your conclusion?"

"I have concluded based on the experience of India's historical rainstorm and flood cases. On August 2000, 8, the Godavari and Tungabura rivers were severely flooded. In Andhra Pradesh alone, 4 people died and 131 cattle were killed. Deaths, 5368 people left homeless, Hyderabad city flooded with water depth up to 98000 meters in many areas, crops destroyed on 3 hectares, total property and agricultural damage amounting to billions of rupees;”

"During July 2003, severe flooding in Brahmaputra and its tributaries killed 7 people in Assam alone, affected 38 million people in 4962 villages, and affected 523 hectares of crops. It was severely affected, and nearly 21 houses were damaged; while the rainfall in the rainy season in 5 only exceeded 2019% of the historical normal value, 110 people died in the floods throughout the rainy season, among which the continuous torrential rain in Bihar caused the death toll More than 1900 people."

Relying on the rich knowledge in the field of natural disasters, coupled with Gu Ji's central nervous system data as high as 18.6, his thinking runs extremely fast.

The history of India, even the entire East Asian region and the natural disaster cases of Xia Kingdom were listed in front of his eyes almost instantly like a computer folder.

The Minister of Disaster Management who was on the sidelines was fascinated.

"What I want to say is that the lessons of history have been painful enough. According to the data just released by the Central Meteorological Observatory, the torrential rain will not stop in the next 12 hours. This is not a small burden on the already flooded river and the reservoir dam where the water is stored. , and more importantly, we must be alert to secondary disasters caused by heavy rain and floods!"

"India's urbanization along rivers has led to great differences between urban floods and rural floods. Historical data have proved that urban floods have increased the flood peak from 1.8 times to 8 times, and the flood volume has increased by 6 times. According to the crustal movement monitoring of the Xiaguo Seismological Bureau According to the Engineering Research Center, the Indian plate moves northward by about 5cm each year, which will cause the rocks in the Himalayas to be continuously stressed, making them brittle and more prone to landslides and earthquakes. Once a large-scale landslide occurs in the Bangbei mountain..."

clap clap...

The audience was completely silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Fatima flipping through the pages quickly.

There was a full three seconds of silence.

Fatima raised her head with a surprised expression, first glanced at Gu Ji, then at the Minister of Disaster Management and a group of high-level government officials: "Every piece of data he said is correct and true. !!"

At this moment, even the chief minister's eyes widened.

Although Gu Ji didn't finish his last sentence, everyone knows what the consequences will be. If a large-scale landslide does happen, at least hundreds of people will be killed or injured based on the current urban planning and population density of Assam.

The Minister of Transportation was so choked that he swallowed a few mouthfuls. He was afraid that the chief would agree to Gu Ji's strategy of transferring people on a large scale.
"Chief Minister, although the data is terrible, but no one can guarantee that it will happen if it is implemented. Besides, the Minister of Water Resources has also said before that the dams in the state are currently releasing water in an orderly manner. The strategy of transferring people is still a good idea. A little too radical, right?"

"Um……"

The Chief Minister pinched the base of his nose.

Sitting in his position, he often considers issues comprehensively and pays more attention to the overall situation. In addition to the safety of people's lives and property, he also needs to take care of the government's resource and economic capabilities, the difficulty of implementing the plan, and the follow-up sustainability.

He didn't refute Gu Ji's words, nor did he support them, but instead asked the Minister of Disaster Management for his opinion.

As an expert in dealing with natural disasters, the answer of the Minister of Disaster Management obviously made it easier for the county heads and ministers to accept.

First, a special emergency rescue temporary headquarters for heavy rain and flood disasters was established. The office of the emergency headquarters is located in the state government. Alert five professional groups.

When Gu Ji listened to it, he knew that this was the "standard answer" of the natural disaster graded emergency plan.

The rescue team is responsible for quickly organizing all parties to carry out emergency rescue and disaster relief when a dangerous situation occurs, and implement emergency rescue and disaster relief measures; organize the evacuation of disaster-stricken personnel and materials, cooperate with engineering and technical personnel, and be responsible for on-site emergency repairs;

The medical group is responsible for the medical rescue of the wounded, sanitation and epidemic prevention, drinking water and food hygiene;
The police are responsible for safety alert at the disaster site and maintaining traffic order;
The logistics group is responsible for emergency communications, vehicle dispatching, emergency supplies and equipment support;
Finally, the aftermath team is responsible for claim settlement and restoration and reconstruction after the accident.

This kind of multi-departmental coordination and mutual cooperation can maximize the government's functions and share the difficulty, but it needs a premise that the disaster situation cannot exceed the current government's handling capacity!

And Gu Ji has said so much, in fact, he is emphasizing a problem:
This torrential rain disaster is simply beyond what the Assam government can handle!

Since the scope of the checkpoint crisis is limited to the national level, it is destined that the disaster will not only occur in Assam. Regarding this, we can actually see the signs from the large-scale floods in neighboring Bangladesh.

There must be a certain "thunder" point hidden in the dark that has not yet exploded.

When it blows up, Assam will completely fall, and the heavy rain and flood will radiate along the river basin to the southeast region according to the terrain, and it will turn into a national disaster at that time.

Think about it, a national incident that even the central cabinet government has to intervene;
Will it be something your small state government can handle?

Not to mention that Assam's economy is not developed, and there are no people, materials, or money to consume at all. Letting them transfer is actually saving energy for the state government and saving as many people's lives as possible as early as possible.

Unfortunately, the Chief Minister did not take his advice into consideration.

After the minister of disaster management made a good start, the other ministers of water conservancy, agriculture, police, and medical care also began to expound their own strategies for the division of functions.

In this way, a set of temporary rainstorm emergency response plan is generally completed.

The chief minister looked at the key points of the plan handed over by the recording secretary behind him, shook his head slightly, and seemed very satisfied.

"Do you have anything to add?"

Seeing that no one spoke, the chief minister set his eyes on Gu Ji again.

He was also polite, and immediately raised his hand.

"Viddy, what's your problem?"

"I would like to add a few more points to the strategy mentioned by the ministers."

As soon as Gu Ji said these words, several ministers were displeased.

This is actually quite normal. All the ministers have finished speaking, and he suddenly intervened at this time. No matter what he said, it was obvious that he was picking a mistake.

But since the Chief Minister has already raised the issue, there is no reason not to answer it.

After obtaining the consent of the other party, Gu Ji began to make supplements based on the military disaster prevention manual and natural disaster handling experience:

"First of all, the first and most important point of emergency management is to establish an early warning mechanism for heavy rain and flood disasters, so as to achieve early preparation, early disposal, and early reporting; the daily monitoring of early warning information is centralized in the emergency command office, and the state meteorological monitoring Departments must communicate with the Central Meteorological Department at all times, and report all relevant information monitored to the emergency headquarters office in a timely manner to prevent sudden disasters.”

"Secondly, smooth communication and traffic must be ensured. Assam is located in the northeastern part of India, and the only point of connection with the central government is the Siliguri Corridor. Once communication is disconnected and traffic collapses, the state will be completely isolated from the world." ', self-defeating, so I suggest that the Department of Transportation should communicate with the central government as soon as possible, and use railways to transport food and medical supplies across states to maintain sufficient supplies."

"Then, the medical treatment can be graded according to the disaster medical rescue ladder. The first level is on-site rescue, and experienced medical personnel are organized to form a front-line rescue team to search for and discover the wounded, and guide self-rescue and mutual rescue; the second level is early treatment. In areas with severe disasters, temporary medical treatment is set up to provide early treatment and classification of the wounded sent to the scene; the third-level transfer and rear hospital treatment mainly accepts the follow-up treatment of the wounded in the front, and the focus of work is to implement specialized treatment, intensive care and psychology. grooming."

Regarding this point, Gu Ji mentioned it as early as in the previous State District Government Hospital.

The hierarchical treatment medical system originated from the Russian Academy of Military Medical Sciences during the First World War, and has been valued by military health officials in many countries. Xia Guo introduced the concept of stepped treatment into the wartime and disaster medical rescue system in 1965, and incorporated it Called graded treatment.

"As for the last point, I suggest that the Police Department immediately organize police force and firefighters to be ready for rescue and relief work at any time, and implement traffic control to restrict the movement of road vehicles. If necessary, they should ask for help from the central cabinet government and military forces, and send additional troops to assist. For disaster relief, the military has rapid response capabilities and high maneuverability, and its execution power far exceeds that of police and firefighters. After major natural disasters, they often respond the fastest, and they can play an important role in reducing losses, saving lives, and stabilizing people's hearts. effect."

If it was just surprise that Gu Ji proposed to transfer the public strategy before, then he is completely shocked now.

Even Fatima stood aside for a long time.

The reason for their shock was not only Gu Ji's control over the details of the emergency response plan, but also the many angles that they dared not think about!

That's right.

In fact, the disaster prevention experience that Gu Ji added is not a very clever method in the Xia Kingdom and the world, but just standing on the shoulders of giants to think about problems.

But why these high-level state governments can't think of it.

The reason is simple: institutional constraints!

For a world-class power, the government needs to have the ability to concentrate resources, that is, a strong mobilization ability, because only in this way can resources be mobilized to the maximum extent to deal with national disasters.

The basis here is that the country must have a strong central government. This is the core, because only a strong central government can gather local forces and form a joint force. In India, due to complex reasons such as ethnicity and religion, the central government’s control is relatively general. Many Local states are unwilling to listen.

Especially in remote areas of ethnic minorities like Assam, it is basically difficult to manage.

So from the very beginning, the Minister of Transportation never considered reporting to the central government for material allocation.

Another point worth mentioning is the military disaster relief.

The purpose and purpose of the armies of all countries in the world is to protect the lives and property of their own people, and at the same time deal with wars launched by other countries. In special times, the army can also be used as a rescue force.

In Xiaguo, it is very common for special police, armed police, and the army to participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief, but in Western countries, the army generally does not undertake disaster relief tasks. When the forest fire broke out in Australia, the Australian government tried to deploy its own army to rescue the disaster. It was explicitly rejected by the Australian army because they were not professional firefighters and were easily injured, so that in the end Australia had to apply for international assistance and let international professional firefighting teams come to fight the fire.

Including the U.S. military is often unwilling to participate in disaster relief. Because of the federal system, the military cannot be used in the country at will. Compared with the federal military, which has weak "business capabilities", cumbersome mobilization, and political hidden dangers, state and state governments are often more willing to use security guards. Team.

The same goes for India.

Their military strength is limited. Except for the troops deployed in the border areas and the reserve forces kept in India, there are very few troops that can actually be mobilized. Coupled with institutional problems, the military rarely intervenes in disaster relief, and the state government is unwilling to humbly ask for help.

Therefore, Gu Ji's proposals seemed a bit "daring" in their eyes.

The chief minister was silent for a while, and then coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

"Vidi's proposal is worth pondering. Keep an eye on changes in the weather and environment, and prepare supplies. The two ministers of transportation and meteorology will be responsible for communicating with the central government. The minister of agriculture must actively cooperate. As for asking for help from the army, it still needs to be done again." Alright, this meeting is over, all departments will immediately act according to the strategy, and I will let the secretary distribute the specific action plan to everyone!"

"Yes!"

Many county magistrates and ministers shouted in unison.

Before leaving, many ministers deliberately "cut" Gu Ji with their eyes, as if they were still complaining that he added extra burdens to themselves, and even his cheap boss, the minister of the Department of Agriculture, didn't bother to care about him.

But in fact, Gu Ji's arrangement is still not a perfect solution.

Not to mention that the army cannot be used for disaster relief. Even if the chief minister agrees to contact the army, the role that the Indian army can play is limited. First, India's infrastructure is very poor, with few transportation lines and weak flood control facilities. Second, the army lacks specialization. Emergency disaster relief training.

In Gu Ji’s impression, the armies of many countries in the world are only used for war, and emergency rescue and disaster relief belong to the concept of “military operations other than war”. Rescue, implementation of peacekeeping missions, imposition of sanctions, show of force, etc.

Therefore, the Indian army's disaster relief is at best to save people, and it is fundamentally impossible to intercept and prevent floods.

The conference room was quickly empty.

Only a few people from the Disaster Management Department were left at the scene, and the minister pursed his lips, looking at this handsome Gu Ji, he felt more and more that he was not simple.

As a department established in India specifically for disaster prevention and control, it is not a good thing to be a minister.

Based on Gu's few words and strategies, he concluded that this kid has a lot of experience in crisis management. The most important thing is that he has an international perspective and can transfer the advanced international disaster relief experience to India.

If this disaster relief can really be used to change India's current somewhat backward disaster management system.

What a great event to celebrate!
As a result, the Minister of Disaster Management became competitive.

"My name is Anurag, and I am the minister of the Disaster Management Department of Assam. I like your performance at the meeting. You have real skills and are not afraid of offending people. Are you interested in coming to the Disaster Management Department? Fatima set up a front-line disaster investigation team, responsible for real-time detection of the torrential rain disaster caused by the tropical depression."

"Of course I would, but Minister, my current job..."

"Don't worry, I will come forward to discuss with the Department of Agriculture regarding job transfers, and you will be merged into the investigation team first in an emergency!"

"Thank you Minister for your affirmation, I will definitely complete the task!"

Gu Ji clasped his hands together, pretending to be excited.

Anurag shook his head with a smile, then turned and left.

Only Fatima and Gu Ji were left at the scene.

"Now we are officially meeting, hello, Fatima."

"Viddy."

Because Indian men and women are different, they are not happy to shake hands, so when they saw the other party put their hands together, Gu Ji followed suit.

Since the minister has arranged for the two to cooperate.

Fatima took the initiative to take the documents:

"It is a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Vidi, I admire your professional knowledge. Now that you have said so much at the meeting, do you have any proposals and directions for our investigation?"

"Really."

As Gu Ji walked out of the building with Fatima, he said, "Actually, I forgot to mention one thing in the meeting just now, that is, to cooperate with the army in the early warning mechanism. Artificially predicting disasters can only rely on experience. It’s all partial, lacking integrity and precision.”

"The military has a huge reconnaissance and surveillance system, which is highly sensitive to natural disasters, especially man-made disasters. The U.S. Northern Command, which is responsible for homeland security, and its meteorological department analyze and study weather changes every day. In addition to being used as a reference for combat, it also cooperates with the civilian meteorological department to monitor hurricanes, rainstorms, and hail in real time, and the Indian Navy is also equipped with powerful disaster warning equipment. Before the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Indian Navy was the first to detect the tsunami, so..."

"So you want me to contact the Navy?"

Fatima immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Gu nodded.

"Okay, so what are you going to be responsible for?"

"I plan to go north to Guwahati and near the Brahmaputra River Basin. The Minister of Water Resources just said that the dam is discharging normally, but I always feel that the current precipitation has far exceeded the dam's discharge capacity. speed."

"Are you worried that the dam will burst?"

After seeing Gu Ji's stern expression, Fatima immediately made a decision, "Okay, let's split up and call anytime!"

The two separated at the gate of the state government building.

Gu Ji went back to the car and pulled out the map of Assam.

Gauhati is a city on the left bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. It is also an important transportation hub in the state. The main railway line from Saadiya to northern India and the oil pipeline from Assam to Baroni After this, there is also the airport air station.

And Dispur is less than 50 kilometers away from Guwahati.

Although it was dangerous to drive at this time, he couldn't control it anymore. He started the car, kicked the accelerator, and rushed out of the government compound.

Continued rains have made the stagnant water in the town of Dispur higher and higher.

Fortunately, after the crisis management meeting ended, various departments took action, and he finally saw the Indian police maintaining order on the road. Most of the local people stayed on the second floor or above the roof under the arrangement of the police. Location.

It's just that he saw several salvaged corpses on the road.

In fact, before the flood, most of the people who were drowned due to the stagnant water in cities and towns were bold enough to wade into the water rashly before the depth of the water was determined, causing tragedies.

Gu Ji shook his head.

Temporarily took out his mobile phone, extracted a simple "storm and flood" version of the "Natural Disaster Emergency Self-Help Guide" he had just obtained, sent it to Fatima through a text message, and called her to let the latter pass through as soon as possible. The major media and communication companies send the content to the mobile phones of the people, or broadcast it on the radio, so that every citizen can memorize it as much as possible, so as to improve the public's awareness of self-rescue and reduce the accident rate.

This proposal made Fatima's eyes light up.

"My God, Mr. Vidi, your move is really beautiful, I will arrange someone to do it right away!"

"Also, if you can't be contacted through these two methods, find a newspaper to print out the self-help guide and let the police distribute it to every household."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't help but sigh more and more. Thanks to the high level of economic development in Xia Kingdom and the well-developed media network, citizens can generally find out many disaster self-rescue plans through the Internet and self-media. If India has the mobilization ability of the domestic government, infrastructure facilities, and the quality of citizens , this disaster will be much easier to solve.

After half an hour.

Gu Ji managed to leave the city of Dispur despite the heavy rain. There were only scattered one-story house residents on both sides of the road. Most of them were half submerged. In order not to be soaked in the water, many people had to choose to take refuge on the roof. Although holding an umbrella, it is only futile under the heavy rain.

There are also many parents who soak their young children in wooden basins and just float in the stagnant water in the house.

"Hey! You'd better nail the rope to the wooden basin, otherwise it will be easily washed away when the current is strong!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Ji hurriedly rolled down the car window and shouted, reminding those "big hearted" parents.

Compared with humans and shelters, animals are even more "miserable".

Along the way, Gu Ji saw that many animals hid pitifully under the trees. Those who could climb the trees basically climbed to the trees, while more animals with poor water skills could only be drowned alive.

So much so that on the "road" he was driving, besides clothes, branches, and garbage, there were also floating corpses.

After driving for less than ten kilometers, he found a white Toyota off-road vehicle parked in the middle of the road ahead. Unexpectedly, when he took a closer look, he saw a young man in the car frantically beating the window, crying : "Please sir, please save us!"

"Stay back."

Gu drove the car aside, picked up the fire axe, and smashed the glass in the same way.

The car door opened, and the young man in a suit and with a greasy hair thanked him excitedly, but the next second, he froze in place.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Coincidentally, this person is one of the people who participated in the state government meeting before. If I remember correctly, it should be the accompanying secretary of the county magistrate of Gauhati. The county magistrate wearing a black suit and beard saw him , I was somewhat embarrassed when I remembered that I was still on the side of the Minister of Transportation at the meeting just now, but I still thanked him.

"Mr. Vidi, why are you here? Did the Minister of Police send you here?"

"No, I'm planning to go to Guwahati."

"Are you going to Guwahati too? That's great, can you help us and send us a trip, Lord Shiva will definitely see your kindness!"

"Get in the car!"

Within the scope of his ability, it is of course impossible for Gu Ji to refuse to save him, and the other party is Guahati's top leader, which is more beneficial for him to carry out town surveys and water levels.

After entering the car, the county magistrate sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the driver and secretary followed behind.

After seeing a large amount of supplies piled up in the car, the three of them were all dumbfounded.

The torrential rain only started yesterday afternoon.

Today, Gu Ji prepared a large cart of supplies. If they hadn't just attended the meeting and knew that Gu Ji was good at disaster management and had a sense of crisis, they would have thought he could predict the future!
The county magistrate glanced at the thermal blanket and canned food in the supplies, shivered subconsciously, and pursed his lower lip.

The secretary understood immediately.

"Mr. Viddy, the county magistrate is drenched, can I borrow your thermal blanket and food..."

"Okay, it's all in the back. You take three packs of biscuits and one box of canned food. Save water."

"Uh... well, thank you, Mr. Viddy!"

The secretary hesitated in embarrassment, as if he felt that Gu Jizhi was a bit stingy for giving these things, but since the other party had already made it clear, it was not easy for him to take more, after all, they were the ones who were rescued.

On the contrary, the driver kept thanking Gu Ji.

As a subordinate, he knew very well that if he hadn't passed by, this remote place, if they had to wait for the fire rescue team from Disbull to arrive, their car might have been submerged in stagnant water long ago.

He was extremely grateful to be alive and to be able to eat.

The county magistrate also understood the importance of supplies at this time. After receiving the water, canned meat and thermal blanket handed over by the secretary, he immediately said:

"Vidi, thank you for your kind help. When I arrive in Guwahati, I will definitely represent the county government and entertain you with the highest standards..."

"Be careful! There is a gentle slope ahead. The driver accidentally plunged into it and turned off the engine just now!"

Seeing Gu Ji kicking the accelerator to start the car, the secretary hurriedly reminded him.

But Gu Ji chose to ignore it, and rushed across the gentle slope violently.

"This has nothing to do with being careless. When you came to Dispur in the morning, the water level was not so high. Now the water level is rising all the way under the continuous rainfall of the torrential rain. It is naturally dangerous to drive rashly."

At this time, the county magistrate finally understood the concerns that Gu Ji raised at the meeting.

Indeed, if the torrential rain continues at this rate, Assam may indeed become a vast ocean!
hum~bum~
At this time, several people's mobile phones vibrated one after another.

The county magistrate took out his mobile phone and couldn't help but read: "Assam State Disaster Management Department issued: Self-rescue Guide for Torrential Rain and Flood, beautiful, the Minister of Disaster Management is really fantastic. With this guide, we can save so many people……"

Whoa!

"Be careful!!"

　Sorry, I woke up early and late, didn't hear the alarm clock, woke up at noon, the first update, and the second update around the early morning, playing is a game that promises to do what it says!Ask for a monthly pass!
