Successfully merged! `Dong Fang Hui Yan` witnesses the speed of emergency rescue in China

Nearly 77 hours after the dike break, at 22:30 on July 8th, the break in the dike along the Dongting Lake front in Tuanzhouyuan, Huarong County, Hunan Province, was successfully closed.

On July 5th, a breach occurred in the dike along the Tuanzhouyuan of Dongting Lake, with the breach expanding to 226 meters. This caused flooding of an area covering 47.64 square kilometers, necessitating the emergency relocation of 7,680 residents. All parties involved in the rescue and emergency response adopted measures of `resting personnel while keeping machines running and working in shifts` to continuously advance the work of sealing the breach around the clock.

Following the disaster, Lu Hai Kong Jian immediately arranged for the Dong Fang Hui Yan 01 satellite to observe the affected area based on satellite transit conditions. Up to now, imaging has been completed twice on July 7 and July 8, and provided to relevant units in a timely manner to promptly grasp the information on the situation of the disaster.

Comparison of satellite images from the 7th and 8th shows that the water color in the submerged area changed from yellow to cyan, indicating that the water level is gradually stabilizing and sediment is settling.

In the land of Huarong County, which has weathered many storms, a battle against the forces of nature has finally come to a successful conclusion. The `Dong Fang Hui Yan` witnessed this significant victory in the flood control and emergency rescue campaign from a space perspective, observing the rapid response of China's rescue efforts.

Lu Hai Kong Jian will continue to carry out satellite remote sensing image acquisition work, providing continuous remote sensing satellite data support and analysis services for flood disaster rescue, disaster assessment and other tasks.
