Abstract:With the acceleration of global climate change and urbanization, the extreme weather events occur frequently. In particular, the urban waterlogging problems triggered by heavy rainfall are becoming increasingly severe. As a megacity, the flood control work of Shanghai is the utmost important. Mobile flood control pump trucks as key equipment for rapid response and efficient drainage play an irreplaceable role in the flood control efforts of Shanghai. The configuration of mobile pump trucks and dispatching platforms in Shanghai is reviewed. Based on the flood control experiences of Shanghai in recent years during the defense against typhoons “Bebinca”, “Prasin” and “Kong-rey”, the functions and existing problems of mobile pump trucks in the flood control work of Shanghai are systematically analyzed, and the corresponding optimization strategies are put forward to provide references for enhancing the flood control and drainage capabilities in Shanghai.
