On July 11, a netizen posted a message stating that "floods occurred in Xinli and Sanhui, Zhongxian County, Chongqing City, and many people lost contact and suffered heavy losses."
After verification, the information spread online is a rumor.
Starting from the night of the 10th, thunderstorms occurred one after another in Zhong County. The rainfall at three stations in Bashan, Xinli, and Maguan Bridge Village reached more than 200 mm. The maximum cumulative rainfall in Bashan reached 247.8 mm. Landslides, landslides, and water intrusion occurred in many places. , roads are blocked, crops are damaged and other disasters. All parts of Zhongxian County actively organize cadres and the masses to rescue and provide disaster relief, make every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, and do their best to minimize disaster losses.
This rainfall did not cause any deaths or loss of contact in Xinli Town and Sanhui Town. At present, this piece of false information has been transferred to relevant departments to investigate and deal with those who published the false information in accordance with the law.
Flood-related rumors can easily trigger panic among the masses, disrupt social order, bring many unrest factors to society, and even cause trouble for flood prevention work. Flood control, a war without gunpowder, requires the help of each of us not to cause chaos, not to create rumors, not to believe rumors, and not to spread rumors.
