Building a Strong Line of Defense for Disaster Prevention and Reduction | Region | Disaster Reduction
Recently, many parts of the country have experienced high temperatures and heavy rainfall. The continuous extreme weather not only affects production and daily life, but also poses a challenge to energy supply. Party committees and governments at all levels should be proactive, carefully prepared, and respond to various meteorological disasters in advance.
Summer is a season of frequent extreme weather, and this year is even more unusual. Currently, the El Ni ñ o event is continuing to develop, driving up the magnitude of global warming and further exacerbating the phenomenon of "southern flooding and northern drought" in China, leading to a significant increase in rainfall in some areas and flooding, while extreme drought may occur in some areas.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and take preventive measures. The impact of meteorological disasters on economic and social development should not be underestimated. This reminds relevant departments to always maintain a state of readiness, fully understand and prevent meteorological disaster risks, and protect the safety of people's lives and property. At the same time, it is necessary to improve emergency plans, formulate preventive measures more thoroughly and comprehensively, effectively improve the pertinence and operability of the plans, and solidly carry out flood control and drought relief emergency response work with an urgent sense of urgency.
Only through collective planning and efforts can we build a solid line of defense against floods and droughts. In the future, there will still be more precipitation in the southern region, with high soil saturation and high meteorological risk levels for local geological disasters and flash floods. We should be vigilant about the occurrence of secondary disasters caused by precipitation and be prepared for risk response; Compared to floods, the occurrence of droughts has a process that is more prone to paralysis and a sense of luck. Therefore, it is necessary to always tighten the thread of thought, firmly establish bottom line thinking, grasp the initiative of work, and effectively improve prevention and control capabilities.
In addition, during the period of high temperature impact, the demand for electricity increases sharply. We need to take multiple measures to ensure stable power supply, be vigilant against fires caused by excessive power load, and accelerate the comprehensive capacity building of agricultural meteorological disaster prevention and reduction. In short, we should establish awareness of disaster prevention and reduction risks, form a collective force of thoughts and actions throughout society, and continuously improve our comprehensive disaster prevention and reduction capabilities.
It is better to be prepared than not to be used, and to be prepared when not in use. In the face of potential disasters and risks, all regions and departments should comprehensively consolidate their responsibilities, strengthen overall coordination, and adhere to early planning and scientific analysis. While conscientiously monitoring and early warning of high temperatures in the north, we will strengthen the analysis of the combined effects of heavy rainfall in the south, accurately guide disaster prevention, reduction and relief work in key areas, and prevent and resolve the impact of meteorological disasters from the source.
