Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 4th: A reporter learned from the Ministry of Emergency Management on the 3rd that in order to conscientiously implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on the landslide disaster in the Chayang section of the Meizhou-Dalian Expressway in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, the office of the National Disaster Prevention, Reduction, and Relief Committee recently announced An emergency notice was issued to deploy all regions and relevant departments to comprehensively investigate and deal with potential disaster risks in highways and other infrastructure facilities during the flood season, so as to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the stability of the overall social situation.

The notice emphasizes that we must have a clear understanding of the severe and complex situation currently faced by disaster prevention, reduction, and relief, adhere to the supremacy of people and life, resolutely overcome paralysis and fluke mentality, firmly establish risk awareness, bottom-line thinking, and extreme thinking, and strengthen the ability to “not worry at all times” A sense of responsibility, starting from the most unfavorable situation, quickly taking strong and effective measures to investigate and deal with hidden disaster risks in highways and other infrastructure construction, and resolutely prevent and contain similar disasters.

The notice requires that areas with sustained large-scale rainfall and northern rainy areas should be highlighted, key areas such as highways, railway lines, and tourist attractions should be highlighted, and potential risks should be comprehensively investigated and dealt with. For highways, we must focus on key parts such as high slopes, high fills, sharp curves and steep slopes, and sections near water and rivers, especially sandy soil foundations, and focus on checking whether there are potential safety hazards such as loose foundations, collapse and settlement, and waterlogging; For bridges and tunnels, it is necessary to focus on investigating potential safety hazards such as bridge foundations, culvert entrances and exits, flood control and water retaining facilities in low-lying areas, tunnel walls, etc.; along railway lines, it is necessary to focus on investigating disaster risks such as flash floods, mudslides, and landslides; for tourist attractions, it is necessary to focus on investigating There are potential safety hazards in large-scale recreational facilities, mountain torrent channels, dangerous rock collapses, loosening and sliding of mountains, etc. The hidden dangers that have been investigated must be eliminated and reinforced in a timely manner, and those that cannot be rectified immediately must be comprehensively strengthened and controlled, and a ledger must be established to implement dynamic management. It is necessary to strengthen the training of hidden danger inspectors, promote the application of advanced and applicable technologies and equipment, and organize scientific and technological research on technical problems. Improve the public reporting and reporting reward system, and adopt various methods to encourage the public to participate in the discovery, inspection and supervision of hidden dangers. It is necessary to urge responsible units to establish a long-term mechanism for self-examination of hidden dangers and rectification, as this is an important task that is often not carried out smoothly.

The notice emphasizes that all regions and relevant departments must improve monitoring and early warning mechanisms, and fully consider soil length for high-risk points such as sand roadbeds, fill roadbeds, high slopes, bridges, tunnels, and slope protection projects along highways and railways. In case of extreme situations that may be caused by time immersion, timely inspection and maintenance of existing monitoring and early warning equipment and systems should be carried out, scientific and technological means should be used to improve monitoring measures, and supervision should be carried out to implement intensive inspections and monitoring by dedicated personnel, and timely cleaning and dredging of drainage ditches, culverts and debris that affect slope safety should be carried out Weeds and weeds are irrigated, and if signs of disasters such as slope bulging and roadbed deformation are discovered, warnings will be given as soon as possible and measures such as warnings, reinforcements, protections, demolitions, and closures will be taken in a timely manner. For key locations such as the foot of the mountain, in the middle of the river, and at the exit of the canyon, it is necessary to implement mass monitoring and mass prevention responsibilities, especially for construction camps, farmhouses, residents and tourists, etc., and strictly implement early warning “call and response” and tracking and verification mechanisms to strictly prevent mass deaths and injuries. , to minimize disaster losses. In view of the situation where a large number of geological disasters occur outside the registered hazard points, we must adapt to local conditions and focus on the role of disaster monitors to capture abnormal signals and issue early warning messages in a timely, accurate and effective manner.

The notice emphasizes the need to pay close attention to emergency preparedness, further refine and improve early warning issuance, emergency rescue, traffic control, emergency shutdown, personnel transfer and other response plans, strengthen emergency drills, and improve a work system with unified command, smooth up and down, and efficient operation. , Enhance scientific, efficient and rapid collaborative processing capabilities. It is necessary to prepare various emergency response forces such as personnel search and rescue, engineering rescue, and medical treatment, strengthen emergency duty, and implement personnel to monitor and control hidden risks to ensure that if danger occurs, it can be dealt with quickly and efficiently. The national comprehensive fire rescue team must maintain combat readiness at all times, strengthen close collaboration with social rescue forces, professional rescue forces and key enterprises, strengthen actual combat drills and on-site command, and achieve efficient, safe and scientific rescue operations.

The notice requires that disaster prevention, reduction, and relief coordination agencies at all levels should play a leading role, strengthen overall coordination and guidance, and supervise the implementation of responsibilities step by step to ensure that pressure is transmitted layer by layer, responsibilities are consolidated, and prevention is carried out. Measures are in place at all levels; departments and units such as transportation, natural resources, culture and tourism, and railways must carry out special project deployment, organize experts to strengthen professional guidance, and promptly solve difficulties and problems in the investigation and treatment of hidden disaster risks to ensure effective results; national disaster prevention Each member unit of the Disaster Reduction and Relief Committee must perform its duties according to the division of responsibilities, support each other, cooperate with each other, and go all out to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
