Tightly tighten the string of flood prevention and disaster relief risk | ability | string
Since the beginning of this year's flood season, the risk of natural disasters in many parts of China has remained high due to multiple rounds of typhoons and heavy rainfall. Regional and phased droughts and floods are frequent, and the flood prevention situation is complex and severe. "Seven down and eight up" is the crucial period for flood control, and it is the most challenging stage for flood control. It is necessary to always tighten the string of flood control and disaster relief in accordance with the requirements put forward by the central government, and carefully carry out all work related to flood control and disaster relief.
Natural disasters during the flood season in our country have the characteristics of wide occurrence range, strong suddenness, and heavy disaster causing, often causing significant casualties and property losses. There are many difficulties in flood prevention work. Prevention is the first move and key point in fighting the tough battle against floods. We should adhere to preventing and resolving risks from the source, and try to resolve risks associated with natural disasters as early as possible.
The relevant departments of the country have organized multiple joint consultations on how to accurately grasp the situation of this year's main flood season. Although nearly 100000 water and rain monitoring stations have been built nationwide, China has a large number and wide distribution of reservoirs and embankments, making it difficult to detect some dangerous situations in a timely manner. In this regard, we should further enhance our flood season disaster monitoring capabilities and fully leverage the role of flood season disaster monitoring and comprehensive command and dispatch platforms. Utilize various natural disaster monitoring stations to closely monitor the hydrological conditions of small and medium-sized rivers, flood control and drainage in key cities, timely assess the risk of catastrophic weather, and assess its disaster causing ability, forming an early risk assessment from the perspectives of foresight and accuracy. Strengthen information sharing and linkage between upper and lower levels, enhance monitoring, forecasting, early warning, and group measurement and prevention capabilities, form a joint disaster prevention and control dispatch system that is interconnected across the country, river basin, and various provinces, with departmental collaboration, consistent standards, interactive results, and mutual verification, enhance the ability to analyze and judge flood season risks, and provide feasible solutions for predicting major risks such as dam collapse and breach.
The key to flood control lies in the scheduling of flood control projects in the basin. How to reduce the momentum of flood peaks and scientifically and finely schedule the main and branch flow reservoirs is the biggest test of decision-making science. Further leverage the role of flood control engineering, improve flood regulation and storage capacity, and utilize flood storage and detention areas to alleviate flood control pressure. Improve the level of scientific scheduling, utilize advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, mobile internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, take the watershed as a whole, important water conservancy projects as elements, and flood control safety as a premise, scientifically schedule flood control projects, fully leverage the role of flood regulation and peak shaving, achieve the integration of forecasting and scheduling, and provide more scientific decision-making basis for risk transfer.
The goal of flood control is to achieve the safety of the people and social stability. Improving the ability to avoid flood season disaster risks is a direct and effective feedback and review of the effectiveness of disaster prevention and reduction. At present, the floods in the Haihe River Basin are gradually subsiding, and the flood evolution process in the Songhua River Basin is complex. Many grassroots workers and the public lack practical experience in disaster prevention and relief. We should further strengthen the system's warning function, dynamically assess disaster risks, improve warning methods, and take action in advance. Develop mass transfer plans covering high-risk areas based on different disaster causing factors, levels, and combinations, and revise and improve them in a timely manner according to changes in the situation. Adhere to safety first and prioritize risk avoidance, strengthen the emergency warning and response mechanism that directly reaches grassroots responsible persons, and organize personnel in hazardous areas to transfer and avoid risks in advance depending on the situation. To enhance public awareness of self rescue and disaster avoidance, strengthen training and enhancement of emergency management capabilities, leverage community platforms and the equipment and talent advantages of emergency volunteer teams, promote the popularization of self rescue and mutual rescue knowledge, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property and social stability.
