What is the "call response" mechanism for emergency disaster warning required by the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau? Flood control and disaster relief mechanism
On August 17th, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to study and deploy flood control, disaster relief, and post disaster recovery and reconstruction work.
The meeting pointed out the need for precise warning response, further strengthening the linkage between meteorological warning and disaster forecasting, highlighting temporary disaster warning, doing a good job in point-to-point accurate forecasting and rolling updates, strengthening the directionality of warning, implementing a temporary disaster warning "response" mechanism that directly reaches the grassroots flood prevention responsible persons, strengthening the linkage between warning and emergency response, implementing emergency plan action measures, and grasping the initiative of work.
What is the "call response" mechanism? Who will call? Who needs to respond?
The Origin of the "Shouying" Mechanism
As a country with many mountains, mountainous areas account for about two-thirds of the total land area in China. In addition, complex geological landforms, diverse climates, and dense population have led to frequent outbreaks of flash floods in China.
Mountain torrents are mostly caused by rainstorm. If it often happens at night, the residents are in sleep time, and the text message early warning is often used with low efficiency. Mountain torrents that are fierce, quick to cause disasters and great harm pose a serious threat to the lives and property of the people.
In recent years, climate anomalies, suddenness, and unpredictability have become increasingly prominent, with a growing number of potential, dynamic, and unpredictable disaster causing factors.
How to solve the problem of landing the "last mile" of warning information has become a challenge, and after many mechanisms have been tried, the "call to respond" mechanism for warning has emerged.

What is the difference between "calling to respond" and "responding"?
The traditional disaster emergency response mechanism mainly releases warning information through various media channels and sends SMS reminders to relevant responsible persons.
The early warning "response" mechanism mainly refers to the water conservancy, meteorological and other departments issuing high-level warnings, reporting to the flood control responsible person at the same level by phone in the first time, and timely reminding the main responsible persons of townships, party and government, and village flood control responsible persons covered by the warning to ensure that the warning information is timely "responded" to the responsible person, and effectively solve the "last mile" problem of the warning landing.
The difference between the two is that the warning information is changed from push response to forced response.
After the warning information is issued, it is necessary to wake up the grassroots responsible person, ensure that the responsible person is on duty in a timely manner, and organize personnel transfer, emergency rescue and other work in a timely manner. The information should not only be "sent out and delivered", but also "called out appropriately".
After the establishment of the self warning "call to action" mechanism, multiple regions have been able to timely transfer people and avoid casualties, largely thanks to this "call to action" mechanism that directly reaches grassroots leaders.
The establishment of the "call for response" mechanism is a positive attempt made in the current situation of frequent extreme weather. The difference from "response" to "call for response" can achieve rapid response, early prevention, and effective response, strengthen early warning "call for response" measures, and grasp the initiative of mountain flood defense.
