Emergency Management Department: The situation of flood prevention and drought resistance in the fall of this year is not optimistic

Zhongxin Jingwei, August 30th. The Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held the "China Ten Years" series theme press conference on the 30th. Zhou Xuewen, deputy minister of the emergency management department, said at the meeting that according to the forecast of the meteorological department, this fall, the northern region, southwest, Central China, and South China are more precipitated; It has begun; the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin may be drought in autumn, and the situation of flood prevention and drought resistance is not optimistic.

A reporter asked questions that since this year, my country has suffered floods and drought disasters to varying degrees. What is the overall situation of flood control and the next situation? After the institutional reform, what changes have taken place in flood prevention and drought resistance? What results have been achieved?

Zhou Xuewen said that this year my country's flood is early, the number of floods is large, the local disaster is heavy, the high temperature and dry time are long, and the flood disasters mainly present four aspects:

The first is that the precipitation is "less north and south." The average nationwide rainfall is slightly less than that of the year, but the rainfall in most and South China and other places in the north are 1 % to 1 % more than the same period of the same year.

The second is that there are many flood numbers. A total of 586 rivers in the country have floods above super warning. The main rivers and rivers have occurred 10 times floods. Everyone remembers that the Pearl River Basin has formed two large floods in the basin. The biggest flood since the year.

The third is the heavy flood disaster. Guangdong, Liaoning and other places were severely affected, and major flood disasters occurred in Sichuan, Qinghai and other provinces. Since the beginning of this year, flood disasters have killed 171 people and disappeared, and 27,000 houses collapsed. Compared with the same period of the same period in the past five years, they decreased by 60%and 71.7%, respectively.

The fourth is long temperature and drought. Since July, the strongest high temperature heat waves have occurred since 1961. Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, and Hunan provinces and cities have developed rapidly, which has affected the people's living water, agricultural production and power supply.

Zhou Xuewen revealed that according to the forecast of the meteorological department, this fall, that is, from September to November, the northern, southwest, Central China, and South China areas in our country are too much. Now that it has begun; the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin may be drought in autumn, and the situation of flood prevention and drought resistance is not optimistic. We will go all out to continue to do flood control drought and drought work in the flood season with the sense of responsibility of "rest assured".

At the same time, Zhou Xuewen said that since the reform of the institution, the State General and Emergency Management Department has strived to improve the long -term mechanism of flood prevention and drought resistance, and continued to strengthen the ability to build disaster prevention and mitigation.

The first is to form a work pattern of combining unity and rescue and co -rescue. The state defense generally gives full play to the role of the general and coordinated coordination, the emergency management department played a comprehensive advantage, the relevant departments played a professional advantage, and basically formed a working pattern of departmental linkage, central and land collaboration, and military and land collaboration. Essence

The second is to improve the responsibility system of party and government co -management and level -by -step insulation. The local party committee and government played the main responsibility of disaster prevention and disaster relief, strengthened the implementation of the three responsibilities of administrative responsible persons, sectarian insurers, and risk inspections.

The third is to improve the work mechanism of prevention -oriented and migration. Strengthen the risks of the multi -departments federations, and established the warning "responding" mechanism of the early warning of the person in charge of the grassroots, that is, the process of heavy rainfall often occur in the middle of the night and early morning. At this time, many people have rest. If the warning is issued, it may not be able to receive or hear the mobile phone text message and WeChat. This requires the meteorological department to issue a high -level warning. It is necessary We ask for the establishment of a "called response" mechanism. We must "call" and "agree", take meteorological warning as emergency response starting conditions, preset rescue rescue forces in the risk zone, and prevent the precautionary point move forward.

The fourth is to strengthen professional and social participation. The initial construction of the national comprehensive fire rescue team as the main force, relevant departments and professional rescue teams of central enterprises as collaborative, the PLA and the Armed Police Forces are assisted by the rescue and rescue force system assisted by the assisted and social forces. In disaster response, it has achieved rapid and orderly, scientific and efficient.

Zhou Xuewen said that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, through the joint efforts of various regions and departments, we have successfully cope with a series of major disasters in recent years. In the 4 years since the reform of the institution, the average number of disappearances in flood disasters, the number of collapsed houses and the average value of the previous five years decreased by 30%and 55%, respectively.
