SHIJIAZHUANG, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) — After days of continuous torrential rains in north China's Hebei Province, power supply and road infrastructure are gradually being restored in disaster-hit areas, while local authorities brace for more downpours, renewing emergency warnings.
Power had been restored to all villages affected by the recent heavy rain in Chengde City, Hebei Province, as of 9:00 a.m. Saturday, according to State Grid Jibei Electric Power Co., Ltd.
Following the flood, 159 emergency response teams and about 1,000 personnel were mobilized. Mobile power plants were deployed to ensure uninterrupted power supply to hospitals, water supply stations and base stations.
To date, 145 power transmission lines have been restored and power has been supplied to 562 villages. However, seven power transmission lines and some branches remain inaccessible and cannot be repaired due to damaged roads, affecting 45 villages. In these areas, power has been temporarily supplied using mobile power units and generators. Repair crews are currently focused on installing poles and completing electrical wiring to fully restore power supply.
Road infrastructure has also been restored, with a total of 961 previously damaged road sections now reopened to traffic. Except for one highway and four rural roads in Chengde, all flood-damaged roads have been cleared, according to the Hebei Provincial Department of Transport.
Four teams of technical consultants were dispatched to the cities of Chengde, Zhangjiakou and Baoding to draw up reconstruction plans. Meanwhile, relevant departments carried out cleanup work on 1,432 and 1,159 sites damaged by landslides and mudslides, respectively.
On Saturday at 4:00 p.m., Hebei Province issued a Level 4 emergency response for severe meteorological disasters and heavy rainfall, calling on all areas to assess the risks based on local conditions and prepare accordingly.
The provincial meteorological station issued a blue alert for heavy rain from Saturday evening to Sunday morning, with heavy rainfall of over 100mm expected in some areas of Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao.
Warnings of mountain torrents were issued in parts of Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and Chengde. Yellow alerts for geological disasters including landslides, mudslides and avalanches were also issued in parts of Baoding, Zhangjiakou, Chengde and Tangshan.
As a reminder, China has a four-tier weather warning system, with red representing the highest level of danger, followed by orange, yellow and blue. The emergency response system also includes four levels, with level 1 being the most serious. -0-
