A large number of heavy equipment and personnel are deployed for on-site search and rescue. Excavators operate nonstop to clear silt, while fire and rescue teams follow machinery-opened access routes to maximize searches for missing persons. On-site rescuers have deployed slope radars to issue pre-emptive alerts to all rescue teams ahead of secondary hazard outbreaks. Now, rescue teams keep monitoring the barrier lake dam, the landslide mass on the south bank, the mountain mass at the corner of the downstream of the barrier lake, and the slope of a barrier lake. They conduct real-time dynamic assessment of secondary disaster risks to provide safety support for on-site emergency rescue operations. "We have preliminarily identified this area as a major hidden geological hazard site with a risk of rock mass collapse. Therefore, we use radar technology to monitor it, focusing on detecting its tiny deformations. Once any abnormality is detected, we will promptly notify the rescue teams, organize immediate evacuation, and prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters," said Yu Zhengxing, deputy head of the National Work Safety Emergency Rescue Survey Team. According to the monitoring of the National Meteorological Center, Gyirong is expected to see frequent showers in the coming days, with light to moderate rain in local areas, and the rainfall will concentrate at night. The meteorological department said that continuous precipitation is prone to inducing secondary geological disasters such as landslides and debris flows. A fast-moving mudslide, triggered by a high-altitude glacier collapse in Nepal, struck Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on Aug 26, causing extensive damage and casualties. Twenty-one people have been confirmed dead and 541 others remain missing, according to the latest official data released at midday on Wednesday.
