Beijing torrential rain last night has caused 37 deaths, this figure is shocking and painful. This Beijing meteorological records, the largest since the heavy rain out of a prototype of China's modernization, and the true nature of Beijing as the capital of developing countries. Beijing and our country is obviously a lot of things to do.
This storm is undoubtedly first and foremost a natural disaster. Beijing is located in the northern margin of the North China Plain, and rely mainly on the monsoon to bring precipitation, in meteorology is a very lucky city. Prolonged drought it less water, people hope it rains, look forward to little rain, the Miyun Reservoir is no longer only an underwater Yongding River can be restored in runoff. The heavy rain has finally come, has come so violent and vicious, several hours of heavy rain in Fangshan District, almost under the usual annual precipitation, a disaster.
Difficult to "good" or "bad" simply evaluate the performance of the Beijing Municipal Government to respond to this rainstorm. This is a never seen the officials in Beijing, Beijing has no historical memory of the heavy rain, there are loopholes in government work can be absurd, indeed commenting that out. At the same time, people see all the relevant government personnel to urgently mobilize investment in disaster, the three government workers lost their lives.
37 life passing sad, and they are the victims in China's disaster resilience of this should be the most powerful city. Lamented the fact that the extra may be a long stay in China a long time, Beijing rain should be to the Chinese people to do a qualitative understanding of the modern correction.
A lot of people in the sewer, said Beijing's bad, this argument has clearly indicating in each time rain, and is an old topic. Of disaster reduction soft underbelly of Beijing more than sewers, and also includes many other hardware details, and weak people's disaster prevention awareness. Last Saturday when heavy rain is a foregone conclusion, many people still drove the streets, the government prevents ineffective, the stadium football game. Remedial classes in Beijing's abundance, but few people have received specialized training of escape?
To improve all this is not easy, urban safety and trouble and money, and return again hard to see, not only the Government, all the public must have the interests and wishes of the modern direction toward the expensive safety of the direction of twist. China must gradually under the true determination.
Do not think that reality can not change, we can only lucky enough to face many years, a case of "all kinds of disaster. The fact that the Chinese consumer demand on the safety of rapid increase, which is evident from the high demand for food safety. Chinese people on the low probability of fire, earthquake, flood disaster risk aversion should continue to be the organized excited weekdays.
China is changing, we should be on the progress of the National Disaster Reduction confidence. The before and after the heavy rain, Beijing The information given is very fast and transparent, and the private sector some specific criticism of positive response. Rainstorm that night was discarded in the street car the next day some stickers fine Internet to criticize the government quickly to correct, such a response should be encouraged.
However there are some sharp criticism also issued in a test of the municipal government's attitude. Is busy with disaster officials who are probably more willing to hear to encourage, but instead of praise, a dial-up wave of questioning and accountability. Do not wronged today's times like this, officials regardless of credit elbow grease should suffer the same criticisms and doubts should listen with an open mind can not even virtue to boast. Today, the work of the government blunder indeed a grasp of a lot, especially in the case.
This heavy rainfall resulted in 37 people were killed, all the sorrow in Beijing, is China's modernization stain. But let this disaster has also become a starting point. Profound reflection is necessary, it should be the government, has been the whole of society extension.
