Based on just a few words and strategies written by Gu Ji between the lines, it was determined that this young man has extensive experience in crisis managent. Most importantly, he has an international perspective and can adapt advanced international disaster relief experiences to India.
If we could truly leverage this disaster relief process to transform India’s sowhat outdated disaster managent system.
What a montous event it would be worth celebrating!
So much so that the Minister of Disaster Managent was moved to recruit talent.
"My na is Anurag, I am the Minister of the Departnt of Disaster Managent of Assam. I was very impressed by your performance at the eting. You have real skills and aren’t afraid to offend people. Are you interested in joining the Departnt of Disaster Managent? I plan to have you and Fatima form a frontline disaster investigation team responsible for real-ti reconnaissance of the severe rainstorm disaster caused by this tropical depression."
"Of course I am willing, but Minister, my current work..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll handle the position transfer and talk to the Departnt of Agriculture. In these extraordinary tis, you should first join the investigation team!"
"Thank you, Minister, for your trust. I will certainly complete the mission!"
Gu Ji pressed his hands together, feigning an excited expression.
And Anurag smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Only Fatima and Gu Ji were left on the scene.
"Now we officially et, hello, Fatima."
"Vidi."
Because of the differences between n and won in India, handshake greetings are not common, so seeing the other party press their hands together, Gu Ji followed suit with the gesture.
Since the minister already arranged for the two to work together.
Fatima took the initiative to present the docunts:
"I’m happy to work with you, Mr. Vidi. Your expertise is admirable. Since you spoke so extensively in the eting, do you have any suggestions or directions for our investigation going forward?"
"I actually do."
As Gu Ji walked out of the building with Fatima, he said, "There was actually one point that was forgotten to ntion during the eting, which is collaboration with the military on the warning chanism. Predicting disasters artificially only relies on experience, what the eyes observe is always partial and lacks comprehensiveness and precision."
"And the military has extensive reconnaissance and surveillance systems, which are highly sensitive to natural disasters, especially man-made ones. The United States Northern Command responsible for holand security has a teorological departnt that analyzes and studies weather changes daily. In addition to being used for combat references, they also cooperate with civilian teorological departnts for real-ti monitoring of hurricanes, torrential rains, hail, etc. Similarly, the Indian Navy is equipped with powerful disaster warning equipnt. Before the Indian Ocean tsunami, it was first detected by the Indian Navy, so..."
"So you want to contact the Navy?"
Fatima imdiately grasped the key to the problem.
Gu Ji nodded.
"Okay, then what do you plan to take charge of?"
"I plan to head north to Gauhati and the Brahmaputra River Basin to take a look. The Minister of Water Resources just ntioned that the dam is discharging normally, but I always feel that the current rainfall has far exceeded the dam’s discharge capacity."
"Are you worried the dam might breach?"
Seeing Gu Ji’s grave expression, Fatima made an imdiate decision, "Alright, let’s act separately and stay in touch by phone at any ti!"
The two parted ways at the entrance of the state governnt building.
Gu Ji returned to his car and pulled out a map of Assam.
Gauhati is a city on the left bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. It is an important transportation hub in the state. The railway trunk line from Sadiya to northern India and the oil pipeline from Assam to Baloni both pass through here, as well as the airport terminals.
And Dispur is less than 50 kiloters from Gauhati.
Although driving at this ti is very dangerous, he could care less, started the vehicle, and with a single step on the gas pedal, rushed out of the governnt compound.
The continuous rain caused water to accumulate higher and higher in the town of Dispur.
Fortunately, after the end of this crisis managent eting, each departnt took action, and he finally saw Indian police maintaining order on the road, with most local residents under police arrangents staying on the second floor or higher or on rooftops.
It was just on the way that he also saw several recovered bodies.
In fact, before the flood occurred, most of the people who drowned due to town flooding were those who were bold, who ventured into the water before determining the depth, leading to tragedies.
Gu Ji shook his head.
He temporarily took out his phone, extracted a simplified "Severe Rainfall and Floods" version of the "Natural Disaster Ergency Self-help Guide" he just obtained, and sent it to Fatima via text ssage. He called her and asked her to promptly disseminate its contents through major dia outlets and telecommunications companies, or through radio station broadcasts, to ensure that every citizen morized it to increase public awareness of self-rescue and reduce accident rates.
This proposal made Fatima’s eyes light up.
"Oh my god, Mr. Vidi, what a brilliant move, I’ll arrange for it imdiately!"
"Additionally, if these two thods don’t reach so people, then find a newspaper to print the self-help guide and have the police distribute it to each household."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ji finally released a half-exhale.
He couldn’t help but feel thankful in his heart; fortunately, the Xia Kingdom has a high level of economic developnt, with a developed dia network, where citizens can commonly find many disaster self-help programs via online social dia. If India had the mobilization capability, infrastructure, and citizen quality of the dostic governnt, resolving this disaster would be much easier.
Half an hour later.
Gu Ji managed to leave the urban area of Dispur under heavy rain. Only a handful of scattered bungalow residents remained along the roads. Most of them were half-subrged. To avoid staying in water, many people could only choose to take refuge on rooftops. Although they held umbrellas, it was futile in the heavy rain.
