The Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Governor have all gone to the front line to supervise the war and respond to extreme heavy rainfall measures. They have strengthened their response to the situation and implemented the Blue Buddha Plan. They have emphasized their efforts to ensure and strengthen the situation
Heavy rainfall is hitting multiple provinces in the north.
According to the Shanxi Daily, it is currently the main flood season of "Seven Down and Eight Up". Due to the heavy rainfall caused by Typhoon No. 5, the flood control situation in the areas along the Taihang Mountains in eastern Shanxi Province has been severe recently. On the afternoon of July 29th, Lan Fo'an, Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, went to the Provincial Meteorological Observatory and the Provincial Department of Water Resources to inspect and dispatch flood prevention work.

Provincial leaders Li Fengqi, Wu Wei, and Yang Qinrong attended.
Lan Fo'an came to the Provincial Meteorological Observatory to visit and console the on duty personnel, gain a detailed understanding of the recent weather trends in the province, listen to reports on meteorological consultations, forecasting and early warning work, and emphasize the need for accurate monitoring of weather changes, real-time forecasting and early warning, and effectively play the role of the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and reduction. At the Provincial Department of Water Resources, Lan Fo'an gained a detailed understanding of the current round of heavy rainfall and response measures. Through the monitoring and early warning platform for mountain floods and droughts, he inspected the water volume scheduling of key reservoirs and important flood control areas, and required him to strengthen his duty, closely monitor changes in rainfall and water conditions, and actively and effectively carry out emergency response work. He stressed that the flood situation is an order, and the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai. Flood control and drought relief command centers at all levels should further improve their command system, effectively play a leading and overall coordinating role, ensure efficient and effective dispatch and coordination, and consistently implement response measures. The departments of water conservancy, meteorology, emergency response, transportation, housing and construction should strengthen consultation and efficient cooperation, and work together to win the tough battle of flood prevention and disaster relief.
In the survey, Lan Fo'an emphasized that all levels and departments in the province, especially leading cadres, should improve their political stance, strengthen their sense of responsibility, anchor the goal of "no casualties, no dam collapse of reservoirs, no breach of important embankments, and no impact on important infrastructure", and solidly carry out preparations for flood prevention, flood resistance, emergency rescue, and disaster relief. We need to strengthen monitoring and early warning, use information technology to monitor rain, water, flood, and dangerous situations in real time, and do a good job in forecasting, early warning, rehearsal, and contingency plans, so as to truly have a clear understanding. We need to strengthen the investigation of hidden dangers, closely monitor areas and parts such as reservoirs, embankments, spillways, silt dams, tailings ponds, dangerous old houses, construction sites, various types of mines, low-lying road sections, bridges, tunnels, culverts, dangerous slopes, etc., and rely on "civil defense" and "technical defense" to carry out a "mesh style" hidden danger investigation, effectively eliminating risks and hidden dangers in their early stages. We need to strengthen inspection and scheduling, strengthen full time inspection and management, finely and accurately schedule reservoirs, pre release and vacate reservoirs in advance, and maximize the reservoir's flood control, peak shifting, and peak shaving effects. Lan Fo'an emphasized the need to make good use of the experience of dealing with autumn floods in 2021, mobilize the masses to prepare for flood prevention, improve emergency plans for personnel transfer and evacuation in dangerous areas in advance, make decisive decisions at critical moments, and resolutely safeguard the safety of people's lives and property.
Lan Fo'an emphasized that flood prevention and disaster relief is a big test. The county and rural areas are on the front line of flood prevention, and we should take the "flood" as the command and act according to the "flood". County level party and government officials should go deep into the front line and command from the front, while responsible officials should be on duty leading and on-site dispatching. Rural cadres should strengthen emergency duty and be prepared for emergencies. All levels and types of flood prevention responsible persons should be on duty, and the responsibility system for township cadres to village and village cadres to person should be tightened and compacted. We should jointly implement the safety responsibility system for river embankments, dangerous slopes, and other safety guarantees, and build a strong flood prevention safety barrier with a strong work style.
On the morning of July 29th, according to the deployment of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government urgently held a video scheduling meeting for the province to respond to extreme heavy rainfall processes. Vice Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Jin Xiangjun attended and delivered a speech.Vice Governor Yang Qinrong presided over.
At the meeting, the Provincial Department of Water Resources, the Provincial Department of Emergency Management, and the three cities of Datong, Jinzhong, and Yangquan reported on flood prevention and disaster relief work. The on-site video dispatch of the Jin Xiang Army in Lingqiu County, Datong City and Fanzhi County, Xinzhou City, inspected the development of emergency plans, the establishment of relocation points, and the performance of township "leaders" on duty. It was required to immediately make the most comprehensive ideological, organizational, team, and material preparations, ensure the implementation of responsibilities, measures, and work, and effectively guard the safety bottom line.
Jin Xiangjun pointed out that due to the impact of Typhoon Du Suri, Shanxi Province has entered a critical period of severe and complex flood control situation. All levels, departments, units, and all flood prevention responsible persons should quickly gather and enter a state of war, go down to the front line to supervise the implementation of preventive measures, and ensure that prevention preparations are fully and effectively carried out. Strengthen joint consultation and information sharing, closely track the path and affected areas of typhoons, adjust emergency response levels in real time, improve departmental emergency linkage mechanisms, and enhance short-term forecasting capabilities. Strengthen river flood prevention, strengthen river leaders at all levels to inspect rivers and eliminate hidden dangers in river embankments, increase the frequency of river inspections, promptly advise personnel to leave, and ensure safe flood control. Strengthen the prevention of mountain flood disasters, closely monitor key defense areas and areas with overlapping heavy rainfall, improve the "call and response" mechanism and "closed-loop" management, and ensure that early warning information reaches the front line and door-to-door. Strengthen the safety of reservoir siltation dams during flood season, strengthen the safety inspection of key parts and protective measures of the reservoir, and do a good job in early water discharge, emptying the reservoir and facing floods. Strengthen personnel control in areas with heavy rainfall, implement measures such as suspending the opening of mountainous scenic spots and tourist attractions, and staggered commuting in urban areas during concentrated rainfall periods. Strengthen the control of construction in progress, inspect and inspect key dangerous buildings, and supervise school building safety, promptly eliminate safety hazards, and ensure personnel safety.
Jin Xiangjun emphasized that all levels, departments, and units should focus on preventing major floods, seizing major risks, and rescuing major disasters, and fully prepare for extreme weather events with low probability and high impact. Deterministic measures should be taken to deal with uncertain factors, and local safety measures should be taken to ensure overall safety and stability.
We need to thoroughly investigate and fill in any gaps, and ensure that risk assessment, elimination, and elimination are carried out throughout the process. We will conduct a comprehensive screening of key areas, major projects, important facilities, and key areas to prevent and address potential problems before they occur.
Secondly, precise monitoring and scientific warning should be carried out to give full play to the role of meteorological forecasting as the first line of defense, strengthen water monitoring and warning, and achieve information dissemination, reception, response, and action.
We need to respond quickly and decisively, strengthen emergency transfer and avoidance, implement key links such as who to transfer, who to organize, when to transfer, where to transfer, and how to manage, to achieve full transfer, necessary transfer, and early transfer.
We must work together and gather strength, improve the emergency command system, enhance emergency response capabilities, strengthen flood prevention and rescue forces and material reserves, and build a solid "copper wall and iron wall" for flood prevention and preparation. Strictly prevent sudden changes in drought and flood, improve storage and water supply capacity, and ensure safe drinking water and abundant food production. The Jin Xiang Army requires all levels, departments, and units to maintain a state of combat at all times, fasten the chain of responsibility, and meticulously and meticulously handle all work related to the extreme heavy rainfall process to ensure a safe and reliable flood season.
