The problems exposed in Harbin's panic of water cut off

Introduction: on November 21, Harbin municipal government issued the announcement that the water supply of the whole city will be suspended for 4 days from 20:00 on November 22 In the afternoon, the market began to rush for water At that time, there was a panic among the citizens After various emergency measures were taken by the provincial and municipal governments, the situation basically subsided on the afternoon of the 22nd Although the panic over water supply cut did not cause major social problems, it also exposed the defects of the government in crisis control Of course, this does not only refer to Harbin and Heilongjiang Province, but also the relevant national authorities After the explosion accident happened in Jilin Petrochemical Company, the relevant departments failed to make a timely and correct assessment of its consequences and possible environmental pollution On the contrary, the news was released through the news media on November 15, "the reporter learned from CNPC Jilin Petrochemical Company yesterday that by about 4:00 yesterday, the fire at the scene of the explosion accident of the shuangbenzene plant had been completely put out The accident did not cause changes in the atmosphere and water body, nor would it affect the water quality of the Songhua River " This is a notice to reassure the people In fact, today (22) at 6:30 p.m., the eastern space-time of CCTV said that the Songhua River was polluted for more than 100 kilometers If the truth is announced in advance, the people may not panic if they are prepared for it; if measures are taken in advance, they will not rush to transfer water to other places It was not until the moment that the announcement was issued, and it was intended to conceal the truth at first At 18:30 p.m on the 21st, as citizens were scrambling for drinking water in the market, the TV station announced that "the Municipal People's government decided to overhaul the municipal water supply network facilities in the city and temporarily stop the water supply" On the morning of the 22nd, the announcement in the newspaper was changed to: "it is predicted that it may be polluted by the water coming from the upstream in the near future", "it is decided that the water supply network in the urban area will be temporarily stopped" In fact, it has been polluted How can we call it "prediction" to the public As one netizen said, why does the municipal government lie to the people? Disaster is not terrible What is terrible is the concealment and deception of the government to the people Songhua River water pollution, 8 days ago should know, why to wait for the flow to the door to tell the people? If we "predict" ahead of time, the tide of water grabbing may not happen, at least the government can take it easy What's more, this has damaged the reputation and image of the government The awareness of early warning is not strong, the emergency handling is not proper, and at the beginning, the truth has not been explained to the people In addition, there are rumors of earthquake, which make people panic, so that panic spreads in a large range If the government and relevant departments evaluate the consequences of the disaster in time after the accident, explain the truth to the people in time, and take measures in advance, Harbin's water shortage panic can be avoided The government should believe in the people, strengthen and improve the mechanism of crisis control, and improve the ability of emergency response, which is the lesson of this water grab in Harbin At the same time, this incident once again issued a warning to the governments at all levels and the relevant departments of the state While paying attention to the frequent mine accidents in various places and carrying out heavy management, we must not neglect the production safety of chemical enterprises, which will produce more disasters and consequences than a major mine accident At the end of 2003, there was a blowout in Kaixian County In April 2004, the chlorine tank exploded in Chongqing chemical plant In March 29, 2005, there was a traffic accident in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province Hundreds of people died and tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people were transferred These lessons should be firmly remembered.
