The old man in Poyang was rescued when he went to buy food on the board. What happened?

On July 1 1, an old man floating on a wooden board in Beifeng Village, Changzhou Township, Poyang County, Jiangxi Province was found by Pingxiang Fire Rescue Detachment who was evacuating people there at that time, and he was rescued in time.

Recently, there have been continuous rains in many parts of the country, and some places have even been hit by floods. All localities have started the first-class flood warning. Some people may ask, under such severe circumstances, why do the old people float on the board alone and put themselves in danger? It is reported that the old man ventured out because he was not evacuated in time. At present, there is not enough food at home, so he decided to go out to buy food alone, but he was in danger because of the rapid flow of water during the floating process. This reflects two problems from the side, one is how to evacuate all residents in time, and the other is how to replenish materials in time.

Let's talk about the first point, how to evacuate all residents. According to the local government in Poyang, the water level in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province exceeded the highest level in history. By July 12, some residents had no water and electricity in their homes, and it was urgent to evacuate residents. But even in such a critical situation, some old people are reluctant to leave, because they feel that once they leave, their houses will be flooded. What should we do in this situation? I think we need enough patience to convince these old people from all aspects, such as the harm of floods, that life is far more important than money.

Let's talk about the second point first, how to supplement the materials in time. What should the relevant departments do from the flood to the discovery of shortage of residents' materials? I think we should consider this problem first after all the residents have been evacuated. After residents are evacuated, it means that their lives are not in danger. Then, the materials can be supplied centrally, and a material distribution office can be set up at a fixed point to inform residents in advance to claim the needed materials.

Generally speaking, the flood control work is progressing steadily at present, but we need everyone's cooperation to do this work well.
