National Flood Control Administration: Make every effort to do a good job in flood control and disaster relief work
Beijing, July 7th (Guangming Daily) - Recently, the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Administration issued a notice to the flood control and drought relief command centers of various provinces, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, various river basin flood control and drought relief command centers, and various member units of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Administration, demanding a clear understanding of the current severe and complex situation of flood control and disaster relief, to implement various flood control and disaster relief measures, and to put the safety of people's lives and property first, and to strive to minimize various losses.
The notice requires all levels and departments to highlight the key points of prevention, and to address weak links such as frequent occurrence of flash floods and geological disasters, severe floods in small and medium-sized rivers, and prominent urban waterlogging and waterlogging problems. We must adhere to the principle of prevention as the main focus and combine prevention with rescue, strengthen the investigation of safety hazards, and strengthen comprehensive defense and systematic governance measures. We need to accurately assess early warnings, continue to strengthen 24-hour joint dynamic consultations across departments, timely issue early warnings, improve the emergency warning "response" mechanism that directly reaches the grassroots flood prevention responsible persons, implement detailed personnel evacuation and transfer plans, resolutely and decisively transfer threatened populations, and achieve full response. We need to scientifically and finely schedule, strengthen the joint use of various flood control projects, and take reasonable measures such as interception, adjustment, diversion, dredging, detention, and discharge to maximize the disaster prevention and reduction benefits of the engineering system, ensuring the safety of large rivers. We need to strengthen the pre establishment of forces, deploy emergency response forces and materials and equipment in advance according to the needs of flood disaster rescue and rescue, and ensure timely water rescue, search and rescue, and dangerous situation disposal. We need to strengthen the resettlement work of disaster stricken people, allocate disaster relief funds in a timely manner, quickly transport disaster relief materials, and implement measures for life assistance and self rescue in production. We need to coordinate and do a good job in drought resistance and disaster reduction, optimize water source allocation, strengthen planned water use and water conservation, timely carry out artificial rainfall enhancement, reservoir storage enhancement, and drilling of machine wells. If necessary, we should organize emergency services such as water supply and mobile irrigation to ensure the safety of drinking water for urban and rural residents, and strive to meet the water demand for industrial and agricultural production. At the same time, we will take measures to prevent sudden changes in drought and flood. We need to strengthen the prevention and control of risk sources, accelerate the filling of shortcomings, plugging loopholes, and strengthening weak areas, and comprehensively improve disaster prevention capabilities.
At present, the National Flood Control Administration maintains a fourth level emergency response for flood control in seven provinces including Chongqing. On July 5th, the fourth level emergency response for flood prevention was launched for the three provinces in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and a working group was dispatched to Heilongjiang to assist in guiding flood prevention and disaster relief work. Since the beginning of this year, the national comprehensive firefighting and rescue team has participated in 1677 flood control and rescue operations, dispatched 13100 firefighting and rescue personnel, 2375 vehicles, and 383 boats, rescuing and evacuating 6348 trapped people.
