Just when the Gauhati County Magistrate praised this self-help guide.

Suddenly, a black shadow emerged from the water ahead, stepping on the hood and rushing to the roof of the car like lightning.

Boom, boom...

Hearing the footsteps coming from the roof, the three of them turned pale with fear.

"This, what on earth is this?"

"Don't worry, it's just a leopard."

As soon as Gu Jijing finished speaking, a paw with sharp nails slapped on the passenger window. The county magistrate was so frightened that he even dropped his cell phone. "Leopards choose to harass humans at this time, or they are looking for food."

, or asking for help.”

Sure enough, I was harassed continuously for half a minute.

Seeing that the car was indifferent, it jumped from the roof of the car to the trunk of the neem tree next to the road.

Only then did the three of them see clearly that it was really a leopard. However, due to the heavy rain, they were soaked all over and their hair was stuck to their skin. They looked extremely miserable. They could only watch helplessly as Gu Ji drove further and further away.

.

It's approaching noon.

Gu Ji finally saw the "Guwahati" sign on the highway.

The three county magistrates breathed a sigh of relief, but the joy had not lasted long. "Crackling", the water in front of the road started to spray again. Just when they thought it was some animal again, it jumped out.

What’s on the surface of the water is a fish head!

Gu Ji frowned, feeling something was wrong.

He could understand animals fleeing the forests near the river basin to avoid floods, but if even fish appeared in towns or kilometers, it meant that the river water had reversed.

He drove forward for a while, but the water level on the road got higher and higher, completely submerging the hood.

You must know that whether it is state-level gravel roads in India or domestic provincial roads, they are all built on the roadbed. On the one hand, it is to ensure that the road is as smooth as possible and make vehicles drive smoothly and safely. On the other hand, it is necessary to support the road surface.

It is required to withstand traffic loads, so the terrain is often higher than that on both sides of the road.

Even the highway is like this, which shows how high the water level is in the fields on both sides.

The county magistrate also noticed that the town not far away seemed a little blurry than it was during the day. In desperation, he urged Gu Ji to drive towards the airport.

The terrain of airports is often very high, because in low-lying places, the plane landing is like landing in a basin, and the surrounding buildings are like the edges of the basin, which will affect the sight line of the landing and increase the safety risks of landing, and the airport runways are often

A bit of a slope.

As the vehicle continues to deepen.

The first thing Gu Ji saw was the mountains on the horizon, which should be the mountains on the other side of the Brahmaputra River. He vaguely remembered that the location where his father had crashed was in northern Assam on the other side.

So he pretended to ask casually:

"I heard that there was a plane crash on the other side a while ago. What happened next?"

"The investigation has been completed long ago. All the bodies and the accident site have been found. Our county also sent an additional team of firefighters to support it, but it is the military who will be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath."

The Gauhati County Magistrate thought for a moment.

Why is it the military again?

Gu Ji felt dizzy when he heard these two words.

Driving another kilometer, everyone finally saw the whole of Guwahati. Compared with Dispur, the former is smaller in size, with a population of only more than 120,000, and all the parks and wastelands in the town have been occupied.

The water was submerged, and some low-lying bungalows had only orange roof tiles left.

There is obviously a lot of excitement near the airport.

Just like in front of the previous hospital, a large number of vehicles gathered around the airport, blocking the traffic. Many vehicles had broken down. Most of them were middle-class and above families in Guwahati or nearby towns. They probably wanted to escape by plane.

.

"Isn't the airport closed yet?"

"Currently due to weather conditions, the airline has issued air traffic control and all flights have been cancelled."

While the county magistrate was answering, he seemed to have seen something and hurriedly waved his hand to Gu Ji to turn around.

Following the direction he pointed, Gu Ji noticed a huge red fire truck pulling two orange kayaks behind it, with many Indian firefighters and policemen wearing blue and black reflective clothing sitting on them.

Good guy.

The gang all started rowing around the town...

That’s right, with the current height of water accumulation, sailing a boat is really better than driving a car in some places.

After the vehicle approached, the county magistrate rolled down the window and shouted: "Shukla, did I give my order in the morning in vain? I didn't ask you to deal with the disaster in the city. Why are you wandering around near the airport!"

"County magistrate?"

A middle-aged man who was the leader of the kayak was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Report to the county magistrate, a landslide occurred near Nizapur. After receiving the alarm, we are preparing to rush to the rescue."

"Landslide?"

The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at Gu Ji subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, in the crisis management meeting, the words came true.

Compared with rising water levels caused by heavy rains, the search and rescue of landslides is even more difficult because landslides involve a large amount of debris accumulation. In addition to mobilizing lighting, chemical defense, rescue, logistics support and other fire-fighting vehicles and large carrier vehicles,

, if the accident is serious, large vehicles and equipment such as cranes, forklifts, excavators, demolition trucks, etc. will also be needed, which is very troublesome, not to mention that there is water everywhere now, and it may break down at any time.

What's more serious is that landslides not only cause casualties and property losses within a certain range, but also pose a serious threat to nearby road traffic.

There are not many roads in Assam, so if traffic is paralyzed, it will be just like what Gu Ji said.

Completely isolated from the world and left to fend for itself!

"Mr. Vidi, I'm afraid you are right. If the heavy rainfall continues, residents of towns and villages around the basin really need to move as soon as possible!"

The secretary beside him couldn't help but his eyelids twitched.

From following the county magistrate to now, this was the first time he saw the county magistrate address a young man as "sir", which shows that Gu Ji's status in the county magistrate's mind now.

After speaking, he began to ask Gu Ji to help design an emergency response plan for Guwahati County.

Although the state government meeting in the morning has already formulated disaster relief measures and established relevant emergency rescue headquarters, the disaster situations are different in each county, and the strategies are often not universal. And then communicate with the disaster relief specialist of the state government's Disaster Management Department.

, it’s very troublesome to come and go.

On the contrary, it is better to use Gu Ji, a ready-made "crisis management expert".

Gu Ji didn't shirk it either.

Nowadays, the more the government pays attention to him, the greater his personal role he can play in the level, the more people he can save, and the richer the rewards in the final settlement will be.

If it's a win-win situation, why not do it?

After exchanging phone numbers, he learned that the name of the Guwahati County Magistrate was Kiran. When the other party left in a special car, he prepared to drive alone to inspect the actual situation in Guwahati.

Before setting off, he rolled down the window and leaned out to take a look at the roof of the car, wanting to check whether any screws or parts had been damaged by the previous leopard.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no damage to the luggage rack, but instead there was a black shadow at the corner.

Gu Ji took a closer look and saw that it was a leopard cub.

Indian leopards give birth every year from April to May, and the cubs stay with the mother until the next estrus, before they break away and live independently.

It turns out that the leopard just came to harass Gu Ji to ask for help in rescuing the cub.

Unfortunately.

Gu Ji reached out and touched its chest, but there was no heartbeat at all.

He died a long time ago.

This is the horror of natural disasters.

In front of nature, all living beings are equal;

Whether you are an intelligent human being or a physically strong feline, you are all vulnerable to heavy rain and the wrath of nature.

Crisis will not give you time for mercy.

Gu Ji took a breath, handed the dead leopard cub to a nearby staff member, and then drove to the bank of the Brahmaputra River.

It is one of the major rivers in Asia. It originates from Fanzhou in the Xia Kingdom. Its upper reaches are called the Brahmaputra River. After it merges with two other rivers in Assam, India, it is called the Brahmaputra River. After it flows through Bangladesh, it is called the Brahmaputra River.

The Jamuna River finally merges with the Ganges at Gualundokad to form the huge Ganges Delta, which flows into the Bay of Bengal with a total length of 2,900 kilometers.

The downstream river basins in India are also in the direction predicted by Gu Ji for future floods.

Judging from the data, India has built a total of 3,800 kilometers of embankments on the Brahmaputra River, and 44 cities have built flood control projects, and have renovated the river courses and built control projects.

Judging from historical disasters, it is obvious that these flood control infrastructures have not played an effective role.

On the one hand, it is due to natural disasters, the monsoon continues to bring heavy rainfall, on the other hand, it may be due to man-made reasons, such as irrigation and water supply!

The Brahmaputra River Basin, especially in the valleys and plains, has a large population and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The populations of West Bengal and Bangladesh each exceed 100 million, and the 200 million residents in the basin mainly rely on agriculture for their livelihood.

, Agricultural irrigation requires a large amount of water, but river runoff is unevenly distributed throughout the year, with 60%-70% of runoff concentrated in the flood season.
