Hundreds of people work along the river bank. The current situation is quite critical. The river has leveled off with the river bank, and the water in some places has flooded. They stack sandbags on the river bank and raise the river bank. Mark and they don't talk nonsense when they come and start working immediately.
Mike, a student of the photography agency of the town middle school, took a hand-held DV machine, patted left and right, and continued to explain with excitement. The teenager didn't know how to be sad. He was very proud of the rare scene. He thought it was very cool. Sam kicked him in the ass and scolded him before he ran to other places.
Now the biggest problem is that the torrential rain keeps rising, which leads to the sharp rise of the river. Here is close to the sea, and the terrain is low-lying. Sam laments: "if it goes on like this, the river will rise much faster than we pile sandbags. We'll be finished at dawn."
Mark just passed by with two sandbags and said, "then hurry up." mark put down the sandbag and said, "Sam, you are both the mayor and the sheriff. Why do you like others to call you Sheriff?"
Sam and mark went into the waterproof tent, drank a cup of coffee and said: "I want to be a doer, not a bureaucrat in general. In such a small place, it should send a town level administrative unit. I took it back. Where there is no government is the best place. Why pay more wages? In this way, I was promoted to the mayor, but I did the work of the sheriff and received the salary of the sheriff. Mark, you make me look at it differently, You are a hero. "
After drinking his coffee, Mark felt warm and said, "I've always been a man!" he laughed and ran out to make sandbags again.
Maybe God didn't want them to be flooded. The rainstorm turned smaller and smaller in the middle of the night. The rain stopped at dawn. Although it was still cloudy, it no longer rained and the water level of the river no longer rose. However, they didn't dare to be careless. They sent a lot of people to guard the riverbank. Mike was deeply moved when he saw the people who were tired and slept on the wet mud: "We want others to see all this."
He and his classmates from the photography agency, fearing the slippery roads and dangers, climbed several mountains and came to the next town where the disaster was not so serious. They uploaded videos to the Internet and Youtube.
In the afternoon of the same day, six helicopters came, bringing a large number of disaster relief materials and food. The residents of the whole town were shocked. They took to the streets and surrounded them to welcome guests from afar.
There are widespread natural disasters in several States, water and electricity are cut off everywhere, and food is scarce. The coastal town with vertical and horizontal rivers has become an isolated island because the bridge has been destroyed. Everyone is afraid that the rescue team did not come before starvation. Now, there are six helicopters. The outside world has not forgotten them.
The helicopter landed at the leisurely square in the town. The leader was David. He had a flight license at the age of 16. When he got off the plane, he immediately arranged for people to unload the materials. When he met people, he asked, "where's mark? Have you seen mark?" When he saw Annie and Giselle coming and meeting again after the disaster, he felt as happy as an afterlife. He rushed up, hugged everyone and said, "thank God, you're all right. Where's mark?"
Giselle said angrily, "carrying sandbags on the riverbank."
David said: "my God! He was scolded as a dog in the media. He's tired as a dog here. You pack up immediately and you can go back to Los Angeles tonight."
Giselle said, "mark and I decided to stay here."
David said, "stay here? What's good about this? They don't lack a sandbag. If you go back and donate millions, it will play a greater role. "
Giselle said, "mark has made a decision. It's hard for anyone to change. I decided to stay with him."
David said, "OK! I respect your decision. I can't stop you from helping people. If you have anything and need, remember to inform me at the first time."
The arrival of the rescue team greatly boosted the morale. People rushed to shake hands with the pilots, and the girls offered kisses. They were also photographed by the residents. After unloading the materials, they carried more than a dozen wounded patients onto the plane. In this storm, no one died, but there were many wounded, which is a great luck in misfortune.
With the welcome of the whole town, David and his family flew away and returned to San Francisco. This time, they took a detour over Louisiana and flew over New Orleans. They saw that the city had become a vast land. Many people were waiting for rescue on the roof. They saw helicopters flying by and waved for help.
David saw that more than half of the plane was empty, arranged the pilot to land on the roof and pick up these people. Seeing these people crying with joy, David was full of pride and honor. He said on the radio public frequency: "guys, isn't this great? It's a great pleasure to help others, and I feel honored to work with you. "
"Call helicopter formation! Call helicopter formation! This is Luzhou ground command center. Please report your identity and destination!"
David responded: "we are a civilian volunteer rescue flight team. I am captain David Ellison. We are transporting a batch of disaster relief materials to Alabama and are now escorting the wounded back to San Francisco for treatment."
The other party was silent and said, "you did the right thing. I'm major general Wilson. Please accept my compliments to you on behalf of the ground center. The national guard air rescue team is understaffed. Are you interested in joining?"
David said, "it's a great honor for us to report for duty immediately after completing this flight mission. Please send us the location." in this way, David temporarily joined the national guard air rescue team to rescue the trapped people and transport the wounded.
Larry knew this and was so angry that he immediately contacted him and said, "bastard, do you know what you're doing?"
David was flying back. He said, "pay attention to your tone and words. You are talking to the captain of the interim air force of the National Guard, and I am on a flight mission. Please add the word captain after your last name."
Larry scolded, "what shit? You're the commander-in-chief of the air force or my son. I'll scold if I want to."
David said, "I'm saving people. I'm so old. I'm doing such a meaningful thing for the first time."
Larry sighed, "I can't stop you from saving people, but be careful not to be brave."
David felt his father's deep concern. He felt warm across hundreds of kilometers. He said, "I will. Thank you for your concern, but I have to work."
Larry said, "David! I'm proud of you!"
David cut off the radio and his eyes were wet. This was the first time Larry said this to him. He also felt that he was not only a rich second generation who could only drive luxury cars and play with women.
The helicopter brought in materials and took away the wounded, which greatly boosted morale and encouraged people. With the weather getting better and the river water level falling, everything has been turned into safety. After the emergency repair of power workers and telecommunications workers, the power supply has been restored, and the communication has been restored. The immediate thing is post disaster reconstruction.
The Katrina storm surge caused disastrous damage to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. It was used to separate Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans, Louisiana. The flood control embankment burst due to the storm surge. 80% of the city was flooded and strong winds hit inland areas, hindering rescue work, It is estimated that Katrina caused at least $75 billion in economic losses.
As early as the evening of September 1, the Senate approved US $10.5 billion for disaster relief, and all sessions of society also enthusiastically raised donations. However, these are far from enough to quench thirst, and a mere 10 billion is only a drop in the bucket for huge losses. The key is to save ourselves and claim compensation from insurance companies.
Sam organized all the heads of households to discuss the reconstruction plan together. As a social celebrity, mark was also invited to attend and provide some suggestions.
The first item of this meeting is to count the losses. Sam has been doing this work. He seconded several teachers from the school to do the loss assessment. However, the official assessment is very different from the data provided by the people. Now Sam has no money and no confidence to speak. He just repeatedly promised to apply to his superior for funds to help the post disaster reconstruction.
However, everyone knows that there are so many official processes, procedures and procedures. I don't know when to wait for the money. Now we are waiting for money to start work. Without money, we can't do anything.
Mark knew it was time for him to come out. His family Foundation donated $5 million for post disaster reconstruction. This money was earmarked for public facilities only, which won everyone's applause. The applause lasted for three minutes. Mark's performance in the wind disaster won everyone's respect. A billionaire went to the sandbag with them, He is a real man grounded.
Moreover, the five million donation is not small. It is estimated that the disaster relief funds pulled down by the municipal government, that is, this amount, is really a generous person. We pay tribute to him again and again and express our gratitude.
At this time, mark also knew that the media had slandered him. He had asked egger to press first to see how many demons and ghosts jumped out.
Up to now, mark has openly appeared here. Other people know that mark is a famous figure here. Before that, only a few people know that they only care about their immediate affairs and don't pay attention to the gossip news on the Internet and TV.
Mark thinks his judgment is correct. The entertainment industry is a place full of malice and danger. A tabloid reporter can actually set off such a storm by reading pictures. Some people must have driven it, others set fire by fire, others fell into the well, and some are just jealous. In short, mark was careless and showed some flaws, They rushed up like hungry wolves, tore and killed him. Who dares to ensure that they will never make mistakes and remain strong all the time?
