Heavy rain washed away! Heavy rains hit Henan, the textile town was ruthlessly "ruined"

According to the Henan Meteorological Bureau, the whole province of Henan was in a state of heavy rainfall on July 17-20. The Henan Provincial Water Resources Department upgraded the emergency response to flood and drought disaster prevention to Level II on July 20, and 11 flood prevention teams entered a wartime state.


As we all know, Zhengzhou is also a well-known textile city base in China, with thousands of large and medium-sized factories and enterprises dealing in textile and chemical fiber products. For the sudden natural disaster, the textile enterprise bosses were caught off guard. The editor learned from various channels that Zhengzhou textile factories have been affected to varying degrees, and the pictures of the devastation can be described as shocking.


Some people in the industry felt helpless and said: I go out in the morning, but I can’t go back to a home in the afternoon! More professionals in the industry said that the Zhengzhou South Third Ring Jinrong International Textile City was flooded, flooded... the rain is falling, the heart is shaking!


Hey~ Seeing this, Zhengzhou is holding on! The textile people hold on!


Red warning! The typhoon jumped three times, and many places stopped production!

On July 20, the wind force at the center of Typhoon No. 7 "Chapaca" continued to escalate, and the province launched a third-level emergency response to wind protection!


According to Guangdong weather forecasts, there will be 6-7 strong winds along the central and western coasts of Guangdong, the eastern and southern coasts of Hainan Island, among which the coastal winds of Jiangmen and Yangjiang in Guangdong will be between 8-10. Level 11-13, gusts can reach level 14-15.


In addition, the No. 6 typhoon "fireworks" is also gradually approaching the waters of Zhejiang and Fujian, double typhoons swept through, or a large number of factories have ceased production!


Due to the impact of the typhoon, the western Guangdong region of Guangdong issued a red warning signal, the suspension of classes, the suspension of work, and the suspension of work in Guangzhou, Foshan and other places; Wenzhou, Zhejiang issued a level IV warning against typhoon, requiring ships in the jurisdiction to implement anti-typhoon measures. Passenger ferry vessels and wading projects will be suspended or suspended depending on the situation. At present, all 11 hydraulic projects have been suspended.


What are some good suggestions to prevent potential risks?

Generally, there are other potential risks that need to be watched for in heavy rainstorms, such as fires, such as lightning strikes. Besides, what are the potential risks that need to be paid attention to by textile mills? Any suggestions?


1. How to deal with water leakage?


Since most of the textile mill workshops are on the first floor and have a steel frame structure, they are usually covered with iron sheets, which may cause unrecognized rust due to years of disrepair, which may cause small stars or large-scale water leakage. The most urgent task is to transfer the grey cloth in this area to a place that does not leak, and use a bucket or basin to catch the leak on the ground, but be careful not to let the leaking water overflow to avoid splashing the ground. In good weather, replace or repair as soon as possible.


2. How to store grey cloth?


Because it is rainy and humid, the grey fabrics must be stacked neatly and should not be placed randomly. For gray fabric rolls of different sizes and sizes, the lower is large and the upper is small, and the lower is more and the upper is less.


Why must it be stacked neatly?


Mr. Zhang from an insurance brokerage company explained that the heavy rain disaster certainly met the insurance company's claim standard, but there are two points that may need to be noted: the first open-air property is generally not compensated, and the second storage item should be increased when stacked. 30 cm, because these two items are generally stipulated in insurance contracts. If the company does not pay attention to these issues, it may be difficult to obtain compensation for this part of the loss.


In addition, he also specifically mentioned that the insurance rate of property insurance for textile insured enterprises is relatively low. On the one hand, the risk is relatively high and insurance companies are not very motivated to underwrite. On the other hand, due to the high risk, the rate is relatively high and textile factories are insured. The enthusiasm is not high. Mr. Zhang said that for similar disasters, small and medium-sized enterprises should have the greatest impact. Large enterprises generally have insured property and property insurance, while small and medium-sized enterprises are not very motivated to buy insurance, and small and medium-sized enterprises are not strong enough to resist risks. I hope that small and medium-sized enterprises are not very motivated to buy insurance. Can strengthen risk management.


3. What to do with the air tide?


Pay attention to the normality of the ventilation equipment and the unobstructed passage, which is conducive to air circulation, expelling moisture and the freshness of the air.


Finally, the editor reminds textile companies in areas affected by heavy rains that under severe natural conditions, they must also pay attention to the personal safety of their staff, and safety production management must be the first priority.
