crisis management game.

Chapter 163 Water Search and Rescue
Gu several people discussed half.

Several rescuers wearing blue-black reflective waterproof coats suddenly came from behind and asked, one of them was the square-faced Indian boy in the rubber boat who was in charge of rescuing him before, and he gestured to a middle-aged Indian beside him with his eyes. The man, and Gu Ji also took the initiative to stand up, "I am."

"Hello, I'm Pradhan, Director-General of the National Disaster Relief Force Operations Group of the NDRF."

The middle-aged man has gray and white curly hair and a beard. Even though he is wearing a loose rescue suit, he can still see that he is very muscular. , I was wondering when his brain suddenly became so good, and I found out it was your idea after asking, and it happened that, under the command of the National Crisis Management Committee and the Ministry of the Interior, we need to ask you for some information on the scene, is it convenient?"

"convenient."

Gu Dian nodded, he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to catch the line of NDRF.

The National Disaster Relief Force of India is part of the Central Armed Police Force under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This is a very large violent organization. In addition to it, it also includes the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), National Security Guard (NSG) and other branches.

The composition of the NDRF is somewhat similar to Xia Guo’s National Earthquake Disaster Emergency Rescue Team (known as the Xia Guo International Rescue Team), which consists of three parts: disaster management experts, Indian military police, firefighters, and hospital emergency medical staff.

Among them, experts are mainly responsible for coordination, technical guidance and support work, mainly engaged in search, rescue and support work; military, police and firefighting are mainly engaged in search, rescue and support work; the third part is medical staff, who have rich experience in emergency medical treatment, During on-site rescue, the three parties are integrated into one, and they will play a very powerful role in coordinated operations, and they are also the main force of India's rescue and relief.

The main reason why Gu Ji wants to join NDRF is mainly to "gain prestige".

Because of the special features of the National Crisis Management Committee, as long as he can win the attention of Pradhan, the director general of the operation, his strength will naturally be passed on to the ears of those high-level committee members. , but also to gain the next initiative to save West Bengal.

So he almost told the other party everything he knew so far.

Although before coming here, Pradhan already had a general understanding of Gu Ji's ability from various aspects, but when he learned that the rainstorm incident had been analyzed and predicted, proposed a diversion strategy, and even saved the lives of thousands of people on the train, he still couldn't bear it. Can't help dilated pupils, secretly horrified.

It is no exaggeration to say that the disaster relief in Assam was completely led by Gu Ji alone.

Anurag on the side raised the corners of his mouth somewhat complacently after hearing this, as if he was very satisfied with his original vision, if he hadn't forcibly snatched Gu Ji away from the Minister of Agriculture and strongly recommended him, Gu Ji would Dazzling new stars may be buried.

Pradhan digested the entire process of the disaster and pondered briefly.

"The train rescue has ended. Since Vidi said that the heavy rainfall will continue for two to three days, then our next focus of work should be shifted to both sides of the river. How are the current work of the state police and fire rescue team going?"

"Because of the limited manpower, the transfer process was relatively slow, and only about 30% of it was completed."

Anurag, as the Minister of Disaster Management, has been following the rescue progress on both sides.

Assam is a remote area, and the government's financial resources are very limited. It is not comparable to the central cabinet government. It has [-] boats and boats.

"It shouldn't be too late. Let's start the action as soon as possible. I'll report to the expert command group and notify the subordinates and the transport troops of the military region to prepare. Vidi, since you have participated in the whole process of disaster management and are very good at emergency response and rescue, Just go with us, I just need a few locals to lead the way."

"Me too. I have done research on the east bank of the Brahmaputra River before, so I know the surrounding towns very well."

Pradhan was also a man of action, but as soon as he finished speaking, Fatima asked to join in too.

Anurag hesitated.

It seemed that they were a little worried about the safety of the two of them. After all, Gu Ji and the others had just escaped from the "Desperate Train", and before they had time to rest, they were about to invest in the next rescue operation.

"Currently, the water levels on both sides of the river are still growing crazily due to the torrential rain. The environment is extremely complicated. Why don't I contact the Minister of the Police Department? He will come from Dispur soon. He knows the situation there best and can provide you with A lot of important information."

"Minister, it's too late. Time is as precious as gold. If it continues, the people may not even have a place to hide!"

But Gu Ji is not a reckless person. After experiencing many checkpoint crises, he certainly knows the importance of information and intelligence.

Why was he able to save so many people before the flood broke out in the second round? Didn't he rely on the information he collected in the first round of passing?
"However, the minister is right. The situation on the river bank is complicated. We really need the experienced command of the rescue frontline to avoid detours and avoid casualties. Therefore, I have a proposal to set up a three-level command structure, that is, the shore commander and the formation commander. and the boat commander."

"The shore-based commander is composed of the ministers of the State Emergency Response Headquarters, and is mainly responsible for providing on-site information, action plan suggestions, and real-time coordination and communication with the military logistics force, medical rescue, and the Central Crisis Management Committee; the formation commander is headed by General Pradhan. The officer is responsible for the on-site commander in the stages of formation driving, search and rescue, and return, and reports the rescue progress to the shore commander in real time, and adjusts the details of the rescue in a timely manner."

"The last is the boat commander, who can divide the boat formation into several teams, or specify each rubber rescue boat, mainly to lead the team or the boat to complete the task of search and rescue, cooperation, and emergency response designated by the formation command. , In this way, the rescue time will not be delayed, and a large amount of experienced command can be provided in time for the rescue front.”

After Anurag finished listening, his eyes lit up instantly.

Pradhan also took a deep breath, and stared straight at Gu Ji's face, showing an expression that looked like he was looking at a monster.

Gu Ji's plan is tantamount to adding an extra level between the expert command group and the boat force.

It seems to be more complicated, but it actually solves many pain points.

Because although their expert command team has very rich experience in disaster handling, they lack sufficient understanding of the disaster site environment in Assam. Many plans need to be contacted with the State Emergency Response Headquarters first. Not only will it slow down the decision-making speed, but it is easy to mess up.

This shore-based commander plays an important role of "connecting the past and the future", making the whole rescue process smoother.

Don't look at just adding such a simple part, behind it requires extremely strong professional rescue technology and experience support, not to mention that the current emergency situation makes it difficult for ordinary people to calm down and think.

But Gu Ji came up with such a fantastic solution almost without thinking.

Fatima had learned on the train that he would rescue boats on water, so it was not surprising. In addition, Gu Ji had shown too many special talents along the way. Even if he now said that he was the incarnation of Lord Shiva, she would Not surprised.

Soon, the "three-level command structure" plan was unanimously approved by the high-level state government and the expert command group, and even reported to the Central Crisis Management Committee. After all, who would not like to show their faces in the rescue? No need to go to the front line to take risks, just move your mouth.

And because Gu Ji is the main proponent of the plan, he also showed very professional rescue skills.

So Pradhan was specially assigned to the boat unit as the commander of the 14th detachment, and he was in charge of 27 kayaks.

After changing into water rescue suits with Gu Ji, Fatima went to the boat unit to claim her crew members.

Among them was the square-faced Indian boy named Singh.

Unexpectedly, in just ten minutes, Gu Ji, who was still in the state of being rescued just now, became his "leader" in the blink of an eye.

Gu Ji glanced at everyone in the detachment, relying on the knowledge bonus of the flood and rapids specialization imprint, he soon had a formation plan in his mind:

"Because the shore command has not yet been formed, and the specific plan order of the expert command group has not yet been issued, let me tentatively determine the formation of our 14th formation. We will adopt the '3+9' model and divide the 27 rubber rescue boats into three groups. 9 groups, each group consists of 3 rubber boats and 9 team members, 3 people per boat, each group has a team leader, understand?"

"Ming, I understand..."

Everyone replied one after another, only Singer's voice was the loudest.

Fatima whispered to the side:

"Viddy, these people don't seem to obey your arrangement."

"It's okay, when you get to the scene, you will naturally understand."

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji didn’t care. After all, this group of people who can enter the Indian National Disaster Relief Force are basically the elites of the police and firefighters in various states. It's normal.

"Fu-!"

At this time, a sharp whistle sounded, representing the formal operation of the troops.

According to the command of their respective formation commanders, several people took a transport vehicle in the heavy rain, ran to the equipment storage point, and pushed the rubber boat and the external power engine into the stagnant water at a fast pace.

More than 1000 rescue troops were dispatched at the same time, and the scene was still very spectacular.

As it continued to deepen, until the water level reached a certain height, everyone dispersed and boarded the boat one after another, started the power engine, and accompanied by the roar of the rumbling internal combustion engine, hundreds of orange reflective rescue boats began to draw a path in the flood A triangular split headed north towards the banks of the Brahmaputra River.

"Three boats in a group! The flood is fast, pay attention to the rules of collision avoidance. When driving in formation, the distance between the boats and boats should be kept at least 10m to prevent the boats from colliding or being capsized by waves!"

Gu Ji took the waterproof loudspeaker issued by the logistics and shouted at the rescue commander of his own formation.

The reason why he chose this formation is that the three-rubber boat model is the most suitable for the current crisis environment. According to the risk level of the water area, the "3+9 plan" is most suitable for high-risk water areas such as rolling dams downstream, boiling lines formed by falling slopes, and tumbling currents. Undertake difficult rescue tasks such as disaster investigation, personnel evacuation, and rescue of people in distress.

The place where the flood itself spread is not far from the river bank, and the rubber boats are equipped with sufficient power. In about 15 minutes, the boat troops have entered the center of the flood. Running in the direction, overwhelming.

The surrounding trees were blown upside down, and the whole wild forest seemed to have turned into a swamp. Based on the surrounding treetops, Gu Ji estimated that the current water level was already five meters high, and it hadn't reached the river bank yet!
One after another, he could still see the state government rescue team retreating from the front.

Gu Ji heard from the communication between the two parties that the villages and towns around Gauhati have been completely submerged by floods, and only a few taller buildings are still struggling to support them. Fortunately, when the transfer was made, the first batch of arrangements were shore There were not many casualties due to high-risk victims on the border.

The currently trapped victims live in the second batch of towns near the river basin, such as Dispur, and the water level has risen to nearly seven or eight meters.

About 5 minutes later.

Gu Ji finally saw the shadow of the town through the binoculars. In other words, it can no longer be called a town, because the roofs of the original small buildings have long been turned into small "islands". holding a large piece of tarpaulin, and some people simply held a wooden basin, accompanied by roaring sounds, with horror and anxiety on their faces.

They are as desperate as the victims trapped in the train. They can only watch the water level rise bit by bit, engulfing their living space, but they can't do anything.

"The water ahead is turbulent, everyone pay attention! Let's start assigning tasks..."

It happened that the shore commander was established, and after communication with the expert group, a specific rescue plan was finally formulated, and Pradhan issued the tasks one by one.

There are three main types of tasks:

One is to evacuate and transfer people who have been or may be threatened by water;
The second is to search and rescue missing persons who fell into the water or were trapped by water;

The third is to rescue trapped people caused by secondary disasters such as mountain torrents, mudslides, and building collapses.

The task difficulty is just in order, from low to high.

Most of the detachments have been assigned the first task, as long as they transfer the victims trapped on the roof and take them away from the flood, taking care not to let people fall into the water during the process.

Perhaps seeing that Gu Ji's previous rescue knowledge and skills were not low, Pradhan arranged for him a task two that was neither too difficult nor too difficult.

compared to the former.

For this task, he needs to search for people in some relatively "corner corners". These places not only have to be separated from the main force, but also often have certain unknown risks. He may have to disembark and dive in, in case a building collapses during the search process, or If there is an undercurrent, it will be trapped and even cause the ship to capsize.

The most difficult task was task three of the formation led by Pradhan himself, to save people from mudslides and landslides, which was really done with the head on the belt.

But it's worth mentioning.

In the search and rescue mission sent to him by Pradhan, two people were named:
Chief Minister and, Minister of Water Resources!
