On October 11th, the Emergency Management Department of Shaanxi Province issued a notice on its WeChat WeChat official account, saying that in recent days, there has been continuous precipitation in Shaanxi Province, and the situation of natural disasters is extremely severe. Especially during the National Day holiday, the command center of the Emergency Management Department of Shaanxi Province received 12 reports of natural disasters such as landslides, collapses and mudslides, resulting in 12 deaths and 2 injuries. The provincial party committee and government attach great importance to it, and demand to further strengthen the bottom line thinking, always put people’s life safety in the first place, carry forward the spirit of continuous fighting, make sure that the thinking is not loose, the strength is not reduced, and the requirements are not lowered, and implement detailed measures to ensure safety. In order to do a good job in the transfer of disaster prevention and avoidance personnel in the next step, the relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:
First, the implementation of the "two supremacy"
It is necessary to fully recognize the great threat of geological disasters caused by storms and floods to people’s lives and the important role of personnel transfer and avoidance in reducing casualties, resolutely take ensuring personnel’s lives and safety as the top priority, firmly establish the bottom line thinking, shoulder political responsibilities, resolutely overcome paralysis and lax thinking and fear of war, base on preventing floods, resisting floods, grabbing major risks and saving major disasters, further strengthen personnel transfer and avoidance, and do our utmost to prevent casualties.
Second, in-depth investigation of potential risks
Keep a close eye on the key difficulties and weak links in flood control and flood fighting, organize forces to carry out in-depth risk investigation on dikes, reservoirs (hydropower stations), warping dams, flood channels, projects under construction, major projects and important facilities, and immediately investigate and reform the problems found. Strengthen the inspection and monitoring of dangerous areas, and conduct strict and detailed investigations on key flood control areas such as river channels, areas prone to flash floods, landslides and mudslides, flood protection areas, and urban low-lying and waterlogged areas. Strengthen the inspection of reservoir dams and tailings ponds, strictly implement the reservoir dispatching operation plan in flood season, and prohibit unauthorized operation beyond the flood season limit. Towns and villages (communities) downstream of reservoirs and tailings ponds should conscientiously implement emergency hedging plans, and immediately start the plans in case of danger, and organize the masses to take the initiative to hedge.
Third, strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning
Pay close attention to mountain conditions, water conditions, flood situation and disaster situation, strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning, strengthen overall coordination, and discuss and judge in time. Meteorological, water conservancy, natural resources and other departments should encrypt the frequency of monitoring and forecasting, analyze the development trend of disasters in time, strengthen information sharing and business cooperation, strive to improve the accuracy of forecasting and extend the forecast period, and win more time for emergency evacuation and evacuation.
Fourth, resolutely and decisively transfer to avoid risks
On September 6th, the Office of the Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Office of the Provincial Disaster Reduction Committee jointly issued the document "Opinions on Establishing the Working Mechanism of Personnel Transfer for Disaster Prevention and Evasion" (Shaanxi Flood Control and Drought Relief Office [2021] No.19), which regards personnel transfer as a key measure to deal with natural disasters, and makes specific arrangements from key links such as "who will transfer, who will transfer, where to transfer and how to transfer". All localities should continue to do a good job of implementation, further improve the evacuation plan, refine the implementation of specific measures such as organizational guarantee, division of responsibilities, forecasting and early warning, relocation and resettlement, and clarify the list of responsibilities, risk management and control, list of relocated personnel, list of safe havens, etc., and adhere to the combination of special prevention and group prevention and civil air defense technology and defense. It is necessary to overcome empiricism and think about the situation more complicated. When it is predicted that there may be a major flood danger, the relevant responsible person should decisively transfer the personnel in the dangerous area to ensure that the transfer should be completed and the transfer should be made early. In particular, it is necessary to implement "one-on-one" transfer measures for the elderly, left-behind children, patients and disabled people. It is necessary to strengthen the safety management after personnel transfer, and prevent unauthorized return before the disaster threat is lifted, causing casualties.
I hereby inform you.
