Initially, eighteen trucks were deployed to fill the breach, and sand carrier ships have been dispatched for the rescue operation. However, the efforts did not stop the gap widening as a large amount of lake water overflowed from the gap with a fast flow rate.

More than 2,100 emergency respondents have been called to help the rescue efforts and 161 ships have been dispatched to the site.
