Enhance grassroots emergency response capabilities and build a strong line of advocacy for people written on the occasion of National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day and Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Promotion Week
Riding a motorcycle, Lan Haijun with a big honking “scream” started to get busy again. In the past few days, Jiangxi Pingxiang has been raining continuously, and the risk of flood disaster has increased significantly. As a disaster information officer in Dafeng Village, Baizhu Township of the city, one of Lan Haijun’s responsibilities is to verify the disaster situation and provide a timely warning. On July 9 of last year, the town was hit by heavy rains and caused flooding. It was he who discovered that some sections of the national highway collapsed and immediately established roadblocks. He was on call day and night to alleviate major security risks from passing vehicles and to avoid casualties and losses.
It is currently in the flood season, and more than 700,000 “blue marinas” across the country are running in urban and rural communities, through the wind and rain, fulfilling their duties as “whistleblowers” for disasters. Building a team of disaster information officers is a microcosm of the disaster prevention and mitigation work of the national emergency management system in recent years.
May 12 of this year is China’s twelfth national disaster prevention and mitigation day. The theme is “Improving grassroots emergency response capacity and building a popular line of defense for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief.” May 9-15 is Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Advertising Week. China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters. How can we improve disaster prevention capabilities and protect people’s lives and property? All relevant regions and departments have carried out an in-depth study and implementation of Secretary-General Xi Jinping’s important presentation on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief and other emergency efforts, and have made unremitting efforts. Data shows that in 2019, the number of deaths and disappearances from natural disasters, the number of collapsed houses and direct economic loss as a percentage of GDP in the last five years decreased by 25%, 57% and 24%, respectively. These figures reflect the continued advancement of our national defense disaster reduction and relief work, and the continuous improvement of disaster prevention and reduction capabilities. Achievements are difficult to achieve and goals are encouraging.
Take precautions——
Solve the problem before the disaster
The red track and green plants intersect, and citizens exercise in the morning light … There is a long and narrow area in the east of Xingqing district, Yinchuan, Ningxia. It is a collection of urban ecological safety barriers, seismic disclosure bases, seismic data observation points and emergency shelters. The green belt of the park of five local places and the citizen leisure park. It also has an important function to avoid earthquake failures.
The Yinchuan Plain is located in a long, narrow crevice basin between Helan Mountain and the Ordos Plateau. There has been a lot of earthquake damage in history. The “culprit” are the seismic activity faults that exist in and around the underground city. In recent years, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Earthquake Administration has carried out active seismic fault detection. The former park area is planned according to the hidden Yinchuan-Pingluo fault.
“Go cure the disease”, disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, the key is to insist on prevention at the source. In 2019, coverage of China’s earthquake disaster risk survey continued to expand, and urban active fault detection in Sichuan, Jiangsu, Henan, and other provinces was fully implemented. Active fault detection in 40 cities, including Jilin Yanji and Haikou in Hainan, progressed smoothly. For basic marine earthquake risk detection, 126 regional earthquake safety assessments were completed across the country, and the National Earthquake Intensity Rapid Project and the Early Warning Project were launched.
Not only is it an earthquake disaster, but in the face of a “multi-point” disaster, the Ministry of Emergency Management has now launched the pilot work of the comprehensive national census of disaster risk and the construction of comprehensive information on risk monitoring and early warning.
Integrated localities to promote disaster risk management. Beijing has carried out a large amount of research and published the country’s first statistical bulletin on the development of emergency management, to better understand the base of disasters and guide disaster prevention. Several departments in Guizhou Province cooperated to carry out investigations into the mechanism of disaster formation by freezing snow and low temperature rain, and deployed preventive measures in advance through “civil air defense, technical defense and physical defense” to respond to temperature “subtraction” with emergency “addition”. In Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, citizens only need to “scan” on WeChat to inquire about information from 3020 disaster prevention points in the city. The city of Ankang, Shaanxi province, implemented a relocation project to relocate people in areas prone to high altitude geological disasters to shallow and safe hills or rivers, completely breaking the strange circle of “disaster-rebuilding-re -disaster”.
In view of the problem of non-defense in rural areas, combined with poverty alleviation and other policies to vigorously promote the rural houses earthquake resistance project. Today in Xinjiang, Tibet and Yunnan, earthquake-resistant houses with safe and ethnic characteristics have replaced traditional adobe houses, and the level of seismic fortification in rural areas has greatly improved.
Efficient disaster relief
Completely protect the safety of life and property of people.
China’s coast is long and narrow, and typhoon disasters frequently occur in coastal areas. In the early morning hours of August 10 last year, the super typhoon “Lichma” landed on the Zhejiang coast, wreaking havoc in and around Zhejiang for nearly 20 hours. After the disaster, Zhejiang Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters coordinated the allocation of 98,800 provincial disaster relief materials, and core disaster relief funds were also successively allocated to meet needs. basics of affected people in a timely manner.
When disaster strikes, “grain and grass first.” How to store and use disaster relief materials and transfer them at critical times and deliver them quickly, Zhejiang Province immediately organized staff to carry out disaster recovery after the typhoon, and used big data and other technologies to develop a Integrated emergency materials management platform to improve materials. Transfer of efficiency.
Anhui Province, which has also stood the test of typhoons, has formed a diversified and comprehensive method of disaster relief stockpiling, and has taken full advantage of the Hefei stockpile of relief material library. central. The materials have achieved interregional cooperation in disaster relief. By establishing a regional security reserve and signing an agreement with a logistics company in Heilongjiang province, advanced deployment and closest security are guaranteed, and the time required for materials to reach the disaster area is shortened from 8 3 hours.
With the further enhancement of local and central material reserve systems, the disaster relief capacity of various regions will be further enhanced.
A couplet at the entrance to Jiang Shuyan’s house in Bayi Village, Xiaotao City, Yong’an City, Fujian Province, attracted attention. Shanglian is “Floodless and Loveless”, and Xilian is “moving into the new residence to thank the party.” On May 16 of last year, the flood swept away Jiang Shuyan’s home. After the disaster, city and town governments quickly helped affected people fight for reconstruction funds, issued a policy of support and clarified assistance from the cadre. Jiang Shuyan was able to live in his new residence.
In recent years, the Ministry of Emergency Management and relevant departments have actively promoted the restoration and reconstruction of disaster-damaged houses. In 2018, the reconstruction of disaster-damaged houses across the country has been basically completed, and the reconstruction of houses damaged by disasters in 2019 is carried out in an orderly manner. A series of policies and measures have effectively alleviated the “urgent need” of affected people, and ensured that affected people “have a place to live.”
Shouguang in Shandong is a famous “vegetable hometown”. In August 2018, under the influence of Typhoon “Wenbia”, over 100,000 vegetable greenhouses in Shouguang were damaged to various degrees, and 520,000 people were affected. After the disaster, the local emergency management department quickly carried out disaster relief work, adequately resolved the basic life difficulties of affected people, such as eating and staying, and organized life assistance in winter and spring before the Spring Festival. Zhou Gexiang, a villager from Zhoujia Village in Yingli City, recalled that his old home was damaged by the flood. The government helped him build the new house before winter, burned the coal stove, sent cotton bedspreads, and spent it. A warm Chinese New Year.
Earlier this year, the outbreak of a new coronary pneumonia in China, the national emergency management system fully implemented the spirit of instruction of Secretary-General Jin Ping’s important speech on epidemic prevention and control, fully implemented the requirements deployment of the Central Committee of the Party and the State Council, and coordinated the promotion of the prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of production. Since January, the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with the State Office of Food and Materials Reserve, has assigned relief materials for central disasters to support Hubei and other provinces in the prevention and control of epidemic situations. A total of 198,000 cotton garments, duvets, folding beds and other disaster relief materials have been transferred to Hubei province. . Emergency management departments in Hubei, Heilongjiang, Anhui and elsewhere actively collected materials for epidemic prevention and control, and escorted the resumption of production and production.
To solve the problems of limited emergency material stocks during the epidemic, insufficient resource categories, low distribution efficiency and cumbersome material distribution process, the Haidian District of Beijing and Jingdong cooperated to create a “platform for public emergency service. ” So far, 6 top-tier national associations in 14 provinces (municipalities), including Tianjin, Yunnan and Chongqing, have been established on the platform. The amount of matching materials across the country was 660 million pieces, with a total price of over 400 million yuan.
The Comprehensive National Fire Rescue Team took the lead and played an important role in fighting Typhoon “Lichma”, flood relief in Shouguang, and fighting the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. Since the establishment of the Emergency Management Department, the comprehensive national fire rescue team has positioned the primary emergency rescue team and the functions of the national team. Facing the task of “all major disasters and emergencies”, from the rescue concept, functions, capacities, equipment, methods and mechanisms, 6 aspects to promote the transformation and updating of the team, assume the important responsibility of preventing and mitigating the main risks security, respond and manage various types of disasters, and become a major force in disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, and protect the security of people’s lives and property.
Popular defense line
Realize the effort of retransmission of group tests, group prevention and group governance
With the joint efforts of disaster information officers at all levels, a total of 82,000 natural disasters were received across the country in 2019, an average increase of 23.4% in the past five years. The quantity and quality of disaster information submitted has recently been improved, providing a powerful force for emergency management decision-making support. A few days ago, another successful risk avoidance case received a lot of attention. On the afternoon of May 6, a small rock slide occurred near Longtanhe Village, Jinjiapu City, Yingshan County, Hubei Province. Since the disaster monitoring staff timely informed the village committee and residents around the landslide of its danger, and organized the evacuation of the masses, no casualties occurred.
Similar cases in recent years are not uncommon. In 2018, before a mountain collapsed in Fangshan District, Beijing, disaster monitoring personnel found signs in time and decisively stopped 15 cars and 28 pedestrians. In 2019, Sichuan Province launched 15 cases of successful geological risk avoidance. A careful summary will reveal that these “lucky” events are a vivid manifestation of group testing, group advocacy, and group governance.
In recent years, the National Emergency Management System has been built on the foundation of the Comprehensive National Disaster Reduction Demonstration Communities and the Comprehensive National Disaster Reduction Demonstration Counties. In accordance with the principles of “quantity control, quality improvement, dynamic management and incentive support,” 976 national disaster reduction demonstration communities will be named in 2019. The effect is further enhanced. First 13 batches of national comprehensive disaster reduction demonstration counties were deployed to create pilots, opening new positions to enhance comprehensive disaster reduction capacity at the grassroots level.
April 20 of this year is the seventh anniversary of the Sichuan Lushan earthquake. A year ago, Lushan County was determined to be the only pilot unit in Sichuan Province to create the first batch of comprehensive national disaster reduction demonstration counties. The devastated small town of the county 7 years ago today used the rural emergency transmission system “Every Village Sound” to achieve second level earthquake warning information services; formed hundreds of comprehensive emergency rescue teams in the municipality and standardized volunteer teams; All rural house building has avoided earthquake fault zone, geological disaster point, flood discharge channel, geosphere beam, structural column and mold in place.
Emergency drills, knowledge contests, simulation experience …… Upon entering the disaster prevention and reduction publicity week, various activities have been opened in various locations. According to incomplete statistics, in 2019 more than 50 million copies of advertising material were distributed throughout the country, 50,000 trainings and conferences were held, almost 100,000 drills of various sizes were held and 430 million text messages of public interest were sent. This year, these figures will also be updated.
Human cognition of the laws of nature is endless: disaster prevention, mitigation, relief and disaster relief are the eternal problems of human survival and development. To build a solid line of defense for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, the “blue armies” are needed, and more than tens of thousands of “you, me and he” are moving forward together.
