The weather outside was so cold that people couldn't stand staying outside for a while, but everyone still tried hard to persevere.
The self-rescue action was effective. Soon, more and more people joined in. The roads leading to the supply and marketing cooperatives, the hospitals, and the post offices were opened.
Faced with the sudden disaster, although everyone complained a few times, they tried their best to solve the difficulties, which also allowed Lin Siya to see the spirit of this generation.
Although roads between some important places have been opened, there are still many difficulties to be faced.
Lin Siya asked Fu Sinian to go back to the factory first, and she went to the post office and called the office.
The call was connected quickly. The voice on the line was very noisy. The person who answered the phone was a colleague in the office. After learning more about the situation, Lin Siya realized that this snowstorm not only affected their small town, but almost the entire province.
In some severely affected areas, the snow depth has even reached about 1.5 meters.
This province has never recorded such heavy snowfall since the founding of the country, causing widespread disasters.
Many houses collapsed and there is no accurate number of casualties so far.
Due to heavy snow accumulation and difficult driving, rescue workers and relief supplies from outside could not get in at all, or the rescue operation was very slow.
So far, the government has no solution and can only call on the people to save themselves.
As for government workers like Lin Siya who are trapped at home, while saving themselves, they must cooperate with the local government to solve the current difficulties faced by the people.
Lin Siya hung up the phone with a heavy heart. She realized that the severity of this disaster was far beyond her imagination.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Siya did not go home, but turned around and went to the town government.
At this time, the town government was in chaos due to two heavy snowfalls.
There were not many staff members here to begin with, and now, because of a heavy snowfall, many staff members who lived far away or in the countryside were trapped in their hometowns.
After much difficulty, the roads were finally opened up, but they faced even more problems.
There were many houses collapsed in the town and people were buried. They organized rescue work as soon as possible, but in this heavy snow, the rescue work was slow.
It is very slow. Lack of manpower is a big problem. Another reason is that it relies entirely on manual excavation, so the progress is also very slow.
Those who were seriously injured in collapsed houses were sent to the hospital as soon as possible. The hospital was overcrowded with people injured by being hit or fallen everywhere, which directly led to the rapid consumption of medical supplies in the hospital. However, no more supplies could be brought in from outside, and supplies would soon be in short supply.
There is also the problem of resettling the victims whose houses collapsed. Although they have vacated two houses to accommodate these victims immediately,
However, due to the collapse of houses, many affected people had no time to rescue supplies. Several houses even collapsed in the middle of the night. Those who managed to escape from them did not even have a cotton jacket.
The clothes he was wearing were later dug out from the collapsed ruins with great difficulty.
Therefore, the biggest problem faced by these disaster-stricken people is lack of food and clothing, which they must solve as soon as possible.
Lin Siya came to the town government office and found the person in charge of the town government. The person in charge was already busy and overwhelmed.
Hearing that Lin Siya was a staff member of the municipal government and was now trapped here, and that her superiors asked her to cooperate with the work of their town government, the person in charge was somewhat overjoyed.
"Comrade Lin, thank you for joining us. You really are a timely help!"
"Secretary Zhao, thank you for your kind words. We are all serving the people. If there is anything you need me to do, please let me know."
“Okay, okay!”
The person in charge, Secretary Zhao, is also a straightforward person. Due to two sudden heavy snowfalls, the mayor was trapped out of town. At this time, he stood up.
Lin Siya was quickly assigned a job to help everyone transport supplies and comfort the people.
In fact, there were very few supplies that could be distributed. People were not rich at that time, and the government's reserve supplies were pitifully small. Now they were caught off guard by this sudden snowstorm.
Fortunately, the first snow fell during the day, and when the second snow fell heavily, people became alert, otherwise the number of casualties would definitely be higher.
Lin Siya helped to carry supplies, mainly warm clothes and quilts, as well as some coal and other things. As for the food problem of the disaster-stricken people, it was now all solved in the town government compound. Due to the large number of people, the town government was under great pressure.
Because their food reserves are almost running out, and the grain stations and supply and marketing cooperatives are also in a state of emergency because supplies cannot be delivered.
In this situation, the government is helpless and the only way is to tighten their belts and distribute food to the affected people as much as possible.
So by noon, there was only a bowl of clear porridge and a steamed bun smaller than a fist in front of Lin Siya.
Lin Siya looked up and found that both the government workers and the disaster-stricken people were eating the same food.
Despite this, no one complained. After all, everyone knew the current situation, and being able to eat was already very good.
Seeing this scene, Lin Siya wondered what she could do.
At night, Lin Siya once again used puppets and invisibility, and came to the town government warehouse alone.
At this moment, the warehouse was empty and there was nothing in it.
Now, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in her space. This is the grain she got after she came out of the town government and went to the grain station to punch in and sign in continuously. She originally left some signatures in the hope of signing in some warm clothes and quilts at the supply and marketing cooperative.
But unfortunately, the probability of signing in for these things was too low. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative sold too many different things. Later, she simply used all her opportunities to sign in for food.
Although there are tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, the area affected this time is too large and many people are affected. I hope these grains can last until the arrival of rescue. This can be considered as my own contribution.
After doing all this, Lin Siya secretly left again.
Fu Sinian didn't come today, so I don't know how he's doing. The house he lives in now is newly built, so it should be very solid and there shouldn't be any major problems.
The only thing I’m worried about now is that there isn’t much food at home, and I don’t know how the machinery factory has arranged it, or whether there are any spare supplies to solve the employees’ food problem.
Lin Siya thought that she should send some supplies to Fu Sinian tomorrow.
