After the dangerous situation occurred, the national, provincial and municipal levels immediately launched an emergency response and organized the force to rescue. It was dispatched drones to search for drowning people and ships for rescue, and then deployed oil booms, used oil absorbent pads and oil skimmer for controlling, absorbing and recovering leaked oil. Finally the drill was achieved successfully.
