Mountain City Chongqing to Build a Resilient City

  A mountain city is resilient and relaxed.

  Chongqing is the city with the largest area and population in China, with complex terrain and dense bridges and tunnels. It is faced with the management problems of high frequency of disasters, various types of urban operation risks and great difficulty in risk prevention and control. In recent years, Chongqing has adhered to the principle of "giving consideration to both hardness and softness", systematically promoted the construction of a resilient and safe city, and continuously improved the modernization level of urban safety governance.

  Sponge project will "breathe"

  At the turn of spring and summer, the rain keeps coming. Walking in the rain garden of Donglin Road, Bishan District, Chongqing, the flowers and plants were wet by the rain, which was even more full of green, but the road surface was still dry and practical.

  "My children like to step on the stagnant water in the potholes in rainy days." Shen Xiaofeng, a resident of the community, said that in the past, the road surface was slippery and there was water accumulation in rainy days. Later, with the renovation of the sponge project, even if it rained heavily, it was difficult to accumulate water in the community. Children no longer tread on water, but they can run and play more freely, which is a lot more fun.

  On the badminton court on the other side of the Rain Garden, as soon as the rain stopped, people came one after another with rackets, and Mao Yong, a resident of the community, was one of them. The playground is paved with permeable pavement, which can be used as soon as it rains. "Now you don’t have to wait for the sun to come out, and the utilization rate of the venue has increased." Mao Yong said.

  Arkwu, the designer of the residential sponge project, introduced that the function of sponge facilities was fully integrated with the landscape environment during the renovation. Rainwater gardens and permeable pavements were distributed in the residential area. Rainwater would not flow directly from the trail to the canal in rainy days, but first entered the rainwater garden or permeable pavements. Stay and permeate; Excess rainwater can flow into municipal pipe network or storage tank to realize natural accumulation, natural infiltration and natural purification. While water resources are effectively utilized, the heat island effect is also alleviated.

  "Sponge project can not only effectively reduce ground water accumulation and improve the sense of living experience, but also reduce pollutants flowing into water bodies and improve urban water quality." Arkwu said.

  "Sponge facilities make urban construction not only’ face’ but also’ resilience’. Cities can be like sponges and have good’ elasticity’ in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters. " Zou Xiaochun, director of the Human Settlements Department of Chongqing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that in recent years, Chongqing has promoted all districts and counties to build 34 typical drainage zones and 122 typical source emission reduction projects according to local conditions, forming a differentiated sponge technology route suitable for mountainous areas, deep canyons, hills and flat dams. Up to now, there are 466 drainage sub-zones in Chongqing, accounting for 40% of the urban built-up area.

  Intelligent early warning and timely arrival

  On August 29th, 2021, a dangerous rock collapse occurred in Group 1, Guanmiao Community, Guanmian Township, Kaizhou District, Chongqing. Through early warning, 37 threatened families and 93 people were evacuated in advance, causing no casualties.

  At 10 o’clock on August 30, 2022, the monitoring of Heping Village, Wenquan Town, Kaizhou District found signs of landslide, and the judgment was quickly released through the intelligent early warning information release platform, and the early warning plan was automatically generated at 10: 30. The local government immediately demarcated the danger zone, quickly organized emergency control and evacuation of residents, and the slope slipped as a whole at 12: 30.

  There were no casualties in the two natural disasters, thanks to the effective local intelligent early warning management mechanism.

  "In 2021, we comprehensively upgraded the intelligent early warning information publishing platform by comprehensively sorting out the early warning responsible persons and affected people in disaster-related fields and potential risks." Lishui, deputy director of the Kaizhou District Emergency Management Bureau, said that once the disaster trigger threshold is reached, the platform will automatically match the instruction measures and release targets, and the early warning information will be pushed synchronously and accurately through radio, television, big screen and online applications covering the whole region.

  In the face of natural disasters, early warning and prevention in advance are effective means to reduce disaster losses. According to reports, in 2023, Kaizhou District accurately released more than 15,000 kinds of early warning information and received more than 1.3 million people. Through the "emergency horn" for early warning and hedging, 18 important early warning messages were issued, and a total of 66,000 people were called.

  Wisdom disaster prevention helps decision-making

  Hechuan District, Chongqing, which is located at the intersection of Jialing River, Fujiang River and Qujiang River, has a large water area and an average annual transit water volume, and the situation of natural disasters such as floods and ground disasters is complicated.

  Where is the flooded area? Where should I evacuate in case of flood? Which transfer route is the safest? In order to answer these people’s most concerned questions, the Flood and Drought Disaster Prevention Center of Hechuan District, through on-the-spot investigation, consulted hydrological data, and according to the topography and geomorphology map of Hechuan, carefully produced a digital flood 3D simulation model for one year, including flood risk maps of three offices in the main city and nine key towns along the Yangtze River, as well as flood operation maps of the main city.

  "This model can dynamically simulate the flooded area where the flood level rises from 0 meters to 200 meters, with an accuracy of less than 1 meter; It can accurately measure the shelters under different water levels, the number of people who need to be transferred, and clearly transfer information such as responsible persons and community contacts. " Wu Zuhua, a staff member of Luoyang Creek Community in Heyangcheng Street, introduced.

  Liu Lei, director of the Emergency Command Center of Hechuan District, introduced that on the basis of the "digital emergency" platform, Hechuan District has developed the application of "transfer to avoid risks" and the "emergency knowledgeable person" applet, and constructed multi-span scenarios such as investigation, incident perception, call response feedback, transfer monitoring, resettlement management, and power coordination, so as to conduct closed-loop control over the whole process of the transfer event.

  Nowadays, in Chongqing, all the indicators of digital urban signs, such as water, electricity, bridges, tunnels, tracks and pipe networks, have been connected to the Chongqing Digital Urban Operation and Governance Center, which, like the intelligent hub of the city, intelligently perceives the urban operation risks, assists the decision-making of urban management subjects in a digital way, and the multi-level governance subjects of cities, districts, counties, towns and streets are linked in time, striving to achieve the goal of "resilient governance" of the city and constantly promoting the modernization of governance system and governance capacity.

Focus interview: consultation with ulterior motives

  Cctv news(Focus Interview): In recent years, in order to realize the strategy of containing and suppressing China, some western countries have become increasingly rampant in stealing intelligence information in key areas such as military industry, economy and finance. The state security organs have investigated many projects and found that many overseas institutions with complex backgrounds steal state secrets and intelligence in key areas of our country with the help of domestic consulting companies and other industries in order to evade China’s laws and regulations and the supervision of key sensitive industries and conceal and weaken the overseas background. Some domestic consulting companies have a weak sense of national security, and in order to gain economic benefits, they frequently wander on the edge of the law.

  Recently, the state security organs, together with relevant departments, publicly enforced the law on Kaisheng Rongying Information Technology Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the domestic consulting industry.

  Police officer of Shanghai National Security Bureau: "Kaisheng Rongying Information Technology Co., Ltd. has more than 1,000 customers all over the country and abroad. The business is divided into three parts, of which expert interviews account for 80% of Kaisheng Rongying’s total business, and expert interviews are mainly in the form of expert telephone interviews. "

  In Kaisheng Rongying Company, there is a huge expert database with more than 300,000 experts in the database. Since the company’s business involves overseas consultation, what is the source of experts for consultation? Is there any taboo in the choice of experts?

  Zhou Moumou, a staff member of Kaisheng Rongying Information Technology Co., Ltd.: "There are also many public resume channels that can be found outside, or they are recommended by experts."

  In fact, the source of experts is not as simple as they say. In practical work, the company’s staff also select influential experts in key areas and important industries such as domestic policy research, national defense and military industry, finance and currency, high and new technology, energy resources, medicine and health. 

  Police officer of Shanghai National Security Bureau: "Kaisheng Rongying Company and every interviewed expert will sign a document containing ‘ Exemption clause ’ The business contract requires the experts to fulfill their confidentiality responsibilities and bear the legal consequences themselves. Relevant experts were attracted by the rich remuneration offered by the consulting company, and thought that the other party was a law-abiding and standardized enterprise, and then relaxed their vigilance, leaked internal sensitive content and even state secrets and intelligence in foreign-related consultations, and embarked on the road of illegal crimes. "

  Han Moumou, a senior researcher of a large state-owned enterprise in China, was sentenced to 6 years in prison for stealing, spying and illegally providing state secrets and intelligence abroad.

  Han’s position in the unit is classified. According to the requirements of the unit, he can’t work part-time outside. However, in 2015, at the invitation of Kaisheng Rongying, Han became an expert here and was consulted. In the third consultation, Han’s bottom line of confidentiality was challenged.

  Han Moumou: "When consulting, it involves the cost of the product, the profit rate of the product, and the total profit of the product. During the consulting process, I said that this involves trade secrets and I don’t want to provide it."

  When the customer asked for sensitive content, Han refused directly, but the customer’s feedback immediately went to Kaisheng Rongying. Han Moumou soon received a phone call from the staff of Kaisheng Rongying.

  Han moumou: "call me and say that as long as you answer the form they provided me, you can pay twice the consulting fee."

  In the process of consulting Han Moumou, the staff of Kaisheng Rongying not only failed to remind the experts to pay attention to confidentiality, but also helped the customers to persuade the experts to disclose the information in order to facilitate the consultation when the customers had improper requirements. The work of the state security organs found that within Kaisheng Rongying, luring experts to answer sensitive questions by increasing remuneration is only one of the means of this company.

  Police officer of Shanghai National Security Bureau: "In order to meet the needs of customers, Kaisheng Rongying Company, even for some consulting projects involving sensitive fields such as national defense, military industry and cutting-edge technology, the responsible project manager will send e-mails within the company to mobilize everyone to make more calls around military enterprises and secret scientific research units, and contact experts who lobby to grasp the relevant internal situation for consultation. The company also told experts that they can use examples, metaphors and other alternative methods, ‘ Side ’ Answer sensitive questions. "

  For a long time, in order to earn economic benefits, Kaisheng Rongying Company not only encouraged experts in key fields to divulge secrets in consultation, but also, as a company with a large number of overseas consulting businesses, Kaisheng Rongying never let experts clearly grasp the true identity of consultants under the banner of protecting customers’ privacy.

  Although Han had agreed to do consulting for Kaisheng Rongying, he particularly emphasized that he would not do overseas consulting. At this request of Han Moumou, Kaisheng Rongying Company did not keep its promise. By chance, Han Moumou discovered that his long-term consulting customers were overseas customers.

  Under the persuasion of Kaisheng Rongying staff, Han Moumou became more and more bold. In a few years, Han Moumou received more than 100 consultations in Kaisheng Rongying, including more than 60% overseas consultations. In the meantime, in order to obtain more consulting fees in Kaisheng Rongying Company, Han Moumou also downloaded confidential information from the intranet of the company several times.

  Police officer of the National Security Bureau of Zhuzhou City: "He stole nearly 5,000 documents through the company’s intranet download. After identification by the state secrecy department, Han Moumou stole and illegally provided 1 confidential state secret, 2 confidential state secrets, 13 intelligence and 18 business secrets for overseas."

  As a leading enterprise in the domestic consulting industry, Kaisheng Rongying has a legal department in its daily operation. According to the company’s declared workflow, when a customer makes a consultation, he first submits an outline of the consultation content to the company, and then the legal department checks whether the content consulted is sensitive and compliant. For sensitive questions, he directly rejects them, and the insensitive questions are handed over to the staff, who searches for experts in the expert database according to the questions. After the selected experts are approved by the customer, both parties can consult. So in actual work, has the legal department played its due role?

  Zhao, a staff member of Kaisheng Rongying Information Technology Co., Ltd.: "There are indeed many demands. We don’t let the legal affairs go to every item. Some of us make some judgments artificially, which are basically judged by the project manager himself."

  Although Kaisheng Rongying has a compliance team and a risk specialist, in actual consultation, the check is a mere formality.

  Police officer of Shanghai National Security Bureau: "Kaisheng Rongying Company has no relevant management requirements and compliance audit for safeguarding national security obligations and preventing security risks. Whether the specific projects proposed by overseas customers may be sensitive and confidential, or even suspected of collecting intelligence, is entirely up to employees’ personal judgment, and the company’s legal affairs and executives will not take the initiative to ask and supervise. In fact, no one cares and only pursue economic interests."

  In the process of profit-seeking, Kaisheng Rongying Company also asked some experts who are not suitable for consultation at the request of some work units to take "pseudonyms" for consultation and use other people’s bank accounts to receive remuneration. It is obvious that Kaisheng Rongying puts economic interests above the responsibility of safeguarding national security, but the relevant staff of the company insist that they have specific projects to do for consulting overseas companies. In fact, in Kaisheng Rongying’s expert database, there are thousands of experts only involved in the field of national defense and military industry. In overseas consultation, the company has not done anything to avoid these experts.

  Lei Moumou, who once worked in a key military enterprise in China, was suspected of illegally providing state secrets for overseas because he leaked sensitive information in the military field. Lei worked in a postdoctoral station jointly organized by a university and a key military enterprise. In March 2020, Lei Moumou left the post-doctoral station. In his resume written online, he gave a detailed description of his work experience in key military enterprises, which enabled him to successfully enter the vision of Kaisheng Rongying Company and become a consulting expert here.

  After becoming a consulting expert of Kaisheng Rongying, Lei received several consultations one after another. This time in July 2020, there was something unusual. For a long time, Kaisheng Rongying Company has advertised that it only introduces experts to customers and does not participate in the specific consultation process between customers and experts in order to evade its regulatory obligations legally. According to the previous operation, the customer’s consultation must be conducted on Kaisheng Rongying’s telephone platform. Before this consultation, Lei Moumou was told by Kaisheng Rongying Company that at the request of the customer, this consultation will be replaced by other teleconference platforms, and Kaisheng Rongying’s people will not participate in the whole process. The abnormal behavior of the company did not alert Lei Moumou, but the questions thrown by customers have impressed him so far.

  Lei Moumou: "I asked about the number of military aircraft models."

  For such a sensitive issue, Lei Moumou did not evade, but was lucky and tried to show off, and finally revealed a lot of sensitive information to the other party.

  Appraised by the state secrecy department, Lei provided the other party with three confidential state secrets and three confidential state secrets. According to the investigation of the state security organs, Kaisheng Rongying Company has accepted a large number of consulting projects from overseas companies in sensitive industries, some of which have close ties with foreign governments, military and intelligence agencies. From 2017 to 2020 alone, Kaisheng Rongying received more than 2,000 remittances from hundreds of overseas companies, amounting to more than 70 million US dollars. Recently, the state security organs have dealt with the enterprises involved in accordance with the law and regulations, and those suspected of violating the law and committing crimes will be investigated to the end to trace their legal responsibilities.

  National security is the foundation of national rejuvenation, which concerns the fundamental interests of the country and the well-being of the people. In order to occupy the market, seek benefits, ignore national security risks, carefully select and lure experts and scholars in sensitive industries in key areas to provide internal confidential information, which has caused great harm to China’s industrial development and economic security, and eventually became accomplices in spying, buying and obtaining state secrets and information from abroad. The state supports the development of consulting industry and encourages it to carry out international trade. It is hoped that consulting enterprises will strictly implement the responsibility of auditing and checking when conducting business, experts and scholars will earnestly fulfill their obligations of security and confidentiality when receiving consultation, and relevant units will strengthen supervision and management over internal personnel’s consultation, jointly safeguard national security and development interests, and ensure the new development pattern with the new security pattern.

Don’t hesitate to call 120 at this time!

    The second Saturday of September every year is the World First Aid Day, which aims to publicize and popularize the knowledge and skills of emergency rescue and improve the public’s self-help ability. This year is the 24th World First Aid Day. Let’s talk about what we should call "120" and what we should pay attention to.

   What situations do you need to call 120?

    What would you do if we suddenly suffered an accidental injury or a friend around us suddenly fainted? You may answer, call "120" emergency number. This answer is not entirely correct. The 120 hotline, also known as the "life hotline", is like a life-saving straw. Behind every emergency call, there is a life that needs help. But what needs to be understood is that not all unexpected situations need to call 120, and the "life hotline" should be left to those who really need emergency assistance.

    So, what circumstances need to call 120 emergency number? If you are outside the hospital, such as at home, in public places, or in the wild, once you have a sudden critical illness such as heart disease and stroke; Serious injuries caused by car accidents and accidental injuries; Fire, drowning, electric shock, poisoning, trampling and other sudden disasters; When there are major problems in life and health due to various unexpected factors, you should immediately call 120 for help.

   What are the symptoms of sudden critical illness?

    Let’s talk in detail about what symptoms may be sudden critical illness. If you encounter the following situations, don’t hesitate to call 120 for first aid immediately.

    1. If sudden severe chest pain, palpitation, dyspnea, fainting, accompanied by sweating and other symptoms, you should suspect a heart attack.

    2. In case of sudden hemiplegia, skewed mouth, confusion, difficulty in speaking or understanding, difficulty in seeing things with one eye or both eyes, severe headache, syncope, etc., you need to be alert to cerebrovascular accidents.

    3. The patient is pale, sweating profusely, with a fast but weak pulse and decreased blood pressure, which may be shock or collapse.

    4. A large number of hemoptysis or hematemesis also indicate that a critical illness may suddenly occur.

   What details should I pay attention to when dialing 120?

    The "120" emergency call is the first signal and premise to start rescuing critical patients. Invalid calls will seriously affect the normal work of the command center, delay the rescue time and waste emergency resources. In the process of making a phone call, you should also pay attention to the following six points to avoid delaying the treatment time.

    1. When dialing 120, you should try to stay calm, don’t panic, and speak clearly and concisely.

    2. Make clear the patient’s symptoms or injuries, so as to send a car accurately, and also make clear the site location, waiting place and contact telephone number that can be connected, so as to facilitate contact.

    3. After dialing 120, you can arrange people to wait for the bus at the intersection or next to obvious signs, and wave when you see the ambulance, so as to save time.

    4. If people from other places in Beijing are not familiar with their location, they should ask local people for help or call for help on their behalf.

    5. If you are at the junction of two counties and cities, the mobile phone signal is prone to drift, which can be avoided by using a fixed telephone. If there is no condition, you can also ask the emergency center where the signal drift is received to call for help.

    6. When dialing 120 on the expressway, it is necessary to explain the direction and general orientation. There is a kilometer sign on the shoulder, and the expressway code and kilometers should be clearly stated.

    It should be noted that dialing 120 is generally not allowed to specify a hospital. The 120 Command and Dispatch Center uniformly allocates the city’s emergency resources, and handles emergency patients in different levels and districts. First, hospitals are allocated according to the principles of being nearby, being urgent and professional, so as to ensure that patients can be treated quickly.

    In addition, it should be understood that there is a charge for calling an ambulance, which generally includes two parts: ambulance fee and pre-hospital first aid fee. Of course, these fees are uniformly stipulated by local provinces and cities, and all fees are based on standards. You don’t have to worry about the inflated fees.

China has built the largest earthquake early warning network in the world! How to warn? Understand in one article

  The reporter learned from the press conference held by Seismological Bureau of China, the Emergency Management Department, that the National Earthquake Early Warning Project, which started construction in 2018, passed the completion acceptance on 25th, and China has built the largest earthquake early warning network in the world.

  According to the press conference, the National Earthquake Early Warning Project has built five technical systems: station observation, data processing, emergency earthquake information service, communication network and technical support and guarantee. In five key early warning areas, such as North China, Southeast Coast, North-South Earthquake Belt, Middle Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang and around Lhasa in Tibet, a second-level earthquake early warning capability was formed, and a minute-level intensity quick report capability was formed throughout the country, and the largest earthquake early warning network in the world was built.

  Wang Xingzhou, Director of Monitoring and Forecasting Department of China Earthquake Administration, Emergency Management Department:This is a complex system with high-speed integration, including 33 early warning centers, nearly 20,000 different types of monitoring stations and a set of fully automated processing systems independently developed.

  Since the implementation of the project in 2018, Seismological Bureau of China has insisted on construction, application and improvement. On September 5th, 2022, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 occurred in Luding, Sichuan. The China Earthquake Early Warning Network successfully released the early warning information 6.2 seconds after the earthquake, realizing the full coverage of the second-level early warning for the 1.5 million people in the epicenter and its surrounding areas. The earthquake intensity distribution map reflecting the degree of earthquake damage is automatically generated 11 minutes after the earthquake. Compared with the previous situation that it takes several days or longer to rely on manual field investigation, the output time is significantly enhanced, which provides strong support for government earthquake relief, industry emergency disposal and public emergency avoidance.

  Zhaomin Yin, Deputy Director of Earthquake Administration of China, Emergency Management Department:It has realized the leap-forward development from minute-level earthquake quick report to second-level earthquake early warning, and its overall function and performance have reached the world advanced level. The completion and acceptance of the project marks that the project has been transferred from the construction stage to the full-scale operation, and will formally provide earthquake early warning and intensity quick reporting information services to the whole society.

  The project has built a three-level earthquake emergency information service of "country, province and city", which has the fast service ability of second-level coverage of 100 million users through special terminals and media channels such as radio, television and WeChat. Through customized services, the application demonstration of earthquake early warning information will be completed in railway, pipe network, power grid, nuclear power and gas industries.

  Early warning and non-prediction use seismic wave velocity difference to give an alarm.

  What’s the difference between earthquake early warning and earthquake prediction? How does it beat the seismic wave? What are the difficulties in realizing accurate earthquake early warning?

  Ma Qiang, Chief Engineer of National Earthquake Early Warning Project:Earthquake early warning and earthquake prediction are two completely different concepts. By earthquake prediction, we mean that before an earthquake occurs, we determine the possible time, place and size of future earthquakes according to relevant observation data and research. Earthquake early warning is something after the earthquake. More precisely, when the underground fault has just started to rupture, but its seismic wave has not spread, we will deal with it quickly to give an alarm.

  When an earthquake occurs, both longitudinal waves and shear waves will be generated.Longitudinal waves reach the ground first, causing the ground to vibrate up and down, which is less destructive.;Shear waves are shear waves, which make the ground vibrate back and forth, left and right, and are destructive.The propagation speeds of the two waves are different. The longitudinal wave is about 6 kilometers per second, and the shear wave is only about 3.5 kilometers per second. The longitudinal wave always beats the shear wave.

  After the intensive earthquake monitoring network captures the "longitudinal wave" signal, it will quickly determine the magnitude, intensity, focal depth and other related data, and with the help of the characteristics that electromagnetic waves travel faster than seismic waves, it will send early warning information to all terminals before the arrival of shear waves.

  Li Yonglin, Director of China Seismological Network Center:The national earthquake early warning project has built an earthquake early warning network covering the whole country.Key early warning areaFirst reportIt takes only 7 seconds on average., atGeneral early warning areaFirst reportIt takes 10 to 30 seconds., will strive for a few seconds to dozens of seconds of warning time for the target users before the destructive earthquake waves arrive.

  The principle and technical requirements of earthquake early warning determine that it also has certain limitations. It takes time for the early warning technology system to capture seismic waves, automatically make judgments and decisions and give an alarm. During this time, it is too late to give an early warning within the range where the destructive shear waves spread, so there is an early warning blind zone in a certain range near the epicenter. Moreover, the more serious the damage is, the shorter the warning time can be provided, and the damage in the area with long warning time is relatively light. In addition, because the recording time of seismic waves used in earthquake early warning is too short and the information of source rupture is insufficient, the measured magnitude is often deviated from the actual magnitude. As a fully automatic real-time system, there are still risks of false positives and false negatives.

  Ma Qiang, Chief Engineer of National Earthquake Early Warning Project:China is one of the few countries with large-scale early warning capability. Compared with Japan, Mexico, the United States and other countries, China’s early warning coverage is larger, more effective, more stable, and serves more people. The overall function and performance have reached the world advanced level.

  Early warning several seconds in advance can effectively avoid risks and reduce disasters.

  Earthquake early warning is an alarm issued a few seconds or dozens of seconds before the arrival of destructive seismic waves after an earthquake. How effective can this short warning of a few seconds play?

  On August 6, 2023, 7.5 seconds after the earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred in Shandong Plain, the national railway earthquake information exchange platform received the earthquake warning information issued by the national early warning project, and several passenger trains took emergency braking measures.

  Zhang Geming, Principal Investigator of china academy of railway sciences Group:The early warning of high-speed railway earthquake and emergency handling of high-speed train-ground linkage have been realized. This system has been fully promoted and applied in newly-built high-speed railways in China, and has also been applied in Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway.

  Although the earthquake warning is only a few seconds, every second of earthquake risk avoidance and disaster reduction is precious. One second in advance, the solenoid valve can be closed, two seconds in advance, the nuclear power plant can be stopped urgently, and three seconds in advance, many chemical plants can be in a safe state. Using the warning time of several seconds to tens of seconds provided by the earthquake early warning system, major infrastructure and lifeline projects can take emergency measures, such as closing gas pipelines, shutting down nuclear reactors and stopping the operation of precision instruments in time to avoid secondary disasters.

  Using the earthquake warning time, the public can take shock-proof measures to reduce casualties, and the operating room can also take emergency measures in advance to avoid surgical errors. The elevator earthquake switch developed by Hubei Seismological Bureau can stop at the nearest floor after receiving the earthquake warning information, and has been widely used in high-rise elevators in Hubei and Anhui.

  Ma Qiang, Chief Engineer of National Earthquake Early Warning Project:If we transform this gas alarm device, it can automatically cut off the gas after receiving our earthquake warning information. With the extensive application of our earthquake warning information and the promotion of related technologies, we ordinary people can feel that these earthquake warning information will be more and more closely related to individuals.

  Multi-channel earthquake warning, wide coverage and quick access

  After the national earthquake early warning project is fully completed, earthquake early warning information services can be provided to the public in various ways.The WeChat applet earthquake early warning service launched by the National Emergency Broadcasting of Central Radio and Television General Station will also be launched nationwide in the near future.

  Zico Hau, a researcher at China Seismological Network Center:After the completion of this early warning project, we have provided early warning information services to the people through three main channels, including service terminals, emergency broadcasting and some mobile terminals. At present, we have basically possessed the coverage of hundreds of millions of users and the ability to reach public services in seconds.

  The earthquake early warning service terminal can obtain earthquake early warning information from the earthquake department through the Internet, and estimate and calculate the earthquake intensity and possible impact according to its own position, and then send out an alarm and countdown through its own tweeter and sound photoelectric alarm device to remind the surrounding public to take emergency measures. At present, primary and secondary schools in key areas of Yunnan, Sichuan, Fujian and other places have achieved full coverage of service terminals, helping the campus to stage a "textbook" type of safe-haven disposal in many earthquakes.

  In 2022, the Seismological Bureau of China and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television established a coordination mechanism for earthquake early warning and emergency broadcasting. The public can receive earthquake early warning information through television, radio, "village speakers" and IPTV.

  The public can also receive earthquake warning information by downloading earthquake warning APP from mobile phones and the built-in functions of the operating system based on third-party forwarding.The "China Seismological Network" national WeChat early warning service jointly launched by China Seismological Network Center, National Emergency Broadcasting of Central Radio and Television General Station and Tencent will be launched soon.When there is an earthquake that may cause destructive effects, WeChat will issue a full-screen warning to continuously remind users to take timely risk-avoidance measures to reduce the impact of earthquake disasters. Earthquakes with different degrees of influence correspond to different warning colors and prompts. When the earthquake has a small impact, it is only prompted in the WeChat service notice to reduce the disturbance to users.

  Liu Wei, R&D engineer of Tencent, the national WeChat earthquake early warning information service platform:If the user needs rescue, we also provide a high-frequency sound rescue function. Through the small program, a sound with strong pulse frequency and penetration can be emitted, which is convenient for the rescue team to rescue the rescuers.

  After the launch of the WeChat applet, users search for "China Seismological Network" or "Earthquake Warning" in WeChat, enter the "China Seismological Network" applet, click "Start Earthquake Warning" and allow "Earthquake Warning Notice" and "Get Location". After successfully adding the places of concern, the earthquake warning service can be started.  

Be vigilant on United Nations Diabetes Day! Complications of diabetes are harmful

       CCTV News:Studies have shown that long-term hyperglycemia can cause organ dysfunction or failure in patients, so preventing complications has become a top priority. At the same time, standardized treatment and rational drug use are also very important.

       Complications of diabetes include retinopathy, uremia and foot disease. Diabetic retinopathy is the main cause of blindness in adult population; Diabetic nephropathy is one of the common causes of renal failure. In addition, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in diabetic patients is 2-mdash higher than that in non-diabetic people of the same age and sex; Four times.

       The medical staff suggested that diabetic patients with complications must be actively treated and used correctly, and the dosage should not be blindly increased because of complications, because increasing the use of hypoglycemic drugs is likely to cause hypoglycemia, and the harm caused by hypoglycemia is more serious than complications.

Baojun responded: Yue is not a brake failure, but a "brake assist downgrade"!

In the process of using the car, if the car can’t be braked, then the user will understand that this is "brake failure". Because the user is not an automotive R&D engineer.

Recently, due to the problem of Bao Junyue’s braking system, some users’ braking failure and braking force weakened, and some car owners had traffic accidents and even dared not drive. Faced with this situation, Baojun officially responded at the first time. In the statement issued by Baojun, users are informed that Yue is not a brake failure, but a "brake assist degradation".

[1] "Brake failure" and "brake assist degradation" mean the same thing to users!

As mentioned earlier, when the owner stepped on the brakes, but the braking force was insufficient, it was "brake failure" from the user’s point of view, because the user was not an automobile engineer. Therefore, the officially declared "brake assist degradation" is actually the same as "brake failure" in the eyes of users. Simply put, there is something wrong with the braking system.

Since there is a problem, it must be solved! In Baojun’s statement, he did not point out the specific solution, but said in general terms that "the user’s vehicle problem has been solved, please feel free to use it" and "sincerely and properly cooperate with the owner’s aftermath". These two sentences are both general.

First, it didn’t explain exactly how it was solved. After the software update, will there be similar situations in the future? How to prevent similar situations from happening? Baojun didn’t make it clear.

Second, Bao Jun did not specifically point out what solutions there are. Is it compensation amount or compensation maintenance? Or what? I didn’t make it clear. Therefore, from the user’s point of view, after reading Baojun’s statement, I don’t know what to do.

[2] The problem of the car is easy to solve, and the psychological fear of the user takes time!

If you can’t stop while driving, you will be very scared. Even if it is repaired, I believe you will still be afraid to continue driving for a long time. This is better than the recent Jeju Air plane accident in South Korea. Many people canceled their travel plans because they were afraid to fly again in a short time. Even if this is a small probability event, even if the entire aviation industry is still safe. However, consumers’ psychology has developed fear and needs time to repair.

By the same token, many Yueye users have suffered from "brake power degradation" this time, even if Baojun has explained that the problem has been solved, please feel free to use it. However, I believe that there will still be users who are afraid to drive again, or when driving again, the speed is slower. The problem of the car is easy to solve, but the psychological fear of the user takes time to repair.

[3] Baojun should take a complete recall process, not a paper statement!

Since the psychological fear of users is difficult to solve in a short time, it is necessary to build confidence in users! The correct way is not to solve it internally. Instead, take a complete recall process!

The formal recall process is to report to the State Administration of Market Supervision! Then submit the original design scheme, with a detailed explanation of the problems, causes and accident probability. Baojun needs to make a recall plan, which contains solutions to the problems found and ensures that the solutions are objective and effective. This plan also needs to be submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission and filed with the competent authorities. Recall under the supervision of the competent department or through OTA upgrade!

Only in this way can the problem be solved under the supervision of the relevant state departments. In the eyes of users, it is the real solution. The user’s inner fear will also be repaired. Now, relying on Baojun’s simple statement is not enough to calm users’ inner fears. On the contrary, it will deepen users’ distrust of Baojun!
