A volunteer meteorological informant in the mountain village

"attention, villagers, now release a meteorological message: from tonight to tomorrow day, there will be showers changing to cloudy, southwest winds of 4 to 5." In Longtan Village, Tanghe Township, Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, whenever the weather changes, Zhao Guanliang broadcasts weather information to the whole village with a loudspeaker, allowing villagers to move along with the "weather."

Zhao Guanliang, 46, is the director of the village committee of Longtan Village, Tanghe Township. Since 2008, he has added a new role-Meteorological Information Officer. On the cabinet of his home is a thick stack of weather diaries, which he has accumulated bit by bit as a weather informant over the years.

Longtan Village is located in the remote mountain area southwest of Fengning, the elevation is from 700m to 1200 m, the drop is very large, the ditch is deep and the mountain is steep and high, it is prone to debris flow, strong wind, hail and other special meteorological disasters, which has an impact on agricultural production. "ever since I became a village cadre, I have always wanted to minimize the disaster and impact of the weather on the common people, so I took the initiative to take the responsibility of the weather informant!" Zhao Guanliang said.

In order to be a good meteorological informant, Zhao Guanliang taught himself the relevant meteorological knowledge and released it to the villagers in time through the village broadcast according to the weather forecast provided by the county meteorological bureau. Especially in the main flood season, every time he releases overcast and rainy weather information, he should collect public opinion information in time and inform township leaders and relevant departments to deal with it in a timely manner to avoid crop yield reduction and crop failure caused by flood disasters. Since working as a meteorological informant, he has actively fought for more than 100,000 yuan in insurance compensation, civil assistance and other funds for the villagers, thus protecting the interests of the villagers to the maximum extent.

At present, there are many elderly people and many left-behind women in the village. whenever a disastrous weather message is received or broadcast, Zhao Guanliang will personally notify them to pay attention to their precautions. Zhou Haiyan, a 43-year-old villager, said gratefully: "my house is low-lying and the water head must pass from here. One day in the rainy season last year, Director Zhao told us not to sleep too heavily at night, saying that there was a flood that day and let the cattle be taken out." We didn't sleep at home that day. The walls of the courtyard were washed down, the toilet collapsed, and the cowshed collapsed. Without Director Zhao's notice, we would have suffered a great loss. "

While doing a good job in meteorological publicity, issuing early warning information, collecting meteorological disasters, and participating in training in meteorological disaster prevention and reduction skills, Zhao Guanliang also paid attention to collecting scientific and technological knowledge of planting and breeding according to seasons and crop growth regulations. the scientific skills of increasing production, income, disease prevention and treatment will be taught to farmers in a timely manner. Last year, he was rated as "excellent Meteorological Informator of Hebei Province".

Some people were puzzled by Zhao Guanliang's approach and asked him what he was looking for. Zhao Guanliang's answer was simple but wonderful: "doing the little things I can for the villagers is my greatest wish!" Village cadres are not fixed. Maybe I won't be a village cadre after the change of office, but I will certainly work as a weather informant until the day when I can't walk! "
