　　On August 17th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting of the CPC and delivered an important speech. The meeting conducted research and deployment on flood control, flood relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, emphasizing that "all relevant regions, departments and units should always tighten the string of flood control and disaster relief, and always put the safety of people’s lives and property first, with ‘ Always uneasy ’ A sense of responsibility, be careful to do a good job in flood control, flood control and disaster relief. "

　　"Seven falls and eight rises" is the key period of flood control in China. Recently, disasters such as rainstorms, floods and typhoons are still high in many places across the country, and there are still risks of floods in some river basins. See the responsibility at the critical moment. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, Party committees, governments and relevant departments at all levels have made every effort to fight the tough battles of flood control and emergency rescue and the protection of the affected people, and the struggle for flood control, flood control and disaster relief has achieved major milestones.

　　Based on "people", all measures fully consider the "people" factor, and pay close attention to all the work of flood control and disaster prevention. We must always insist that the interests of the people are above everything else, always think about problems and make decisions from the standpoint of the people, and fight a prepared and sure initiative. On the one hand, highlight the key points of defense, continue to carry out investigation and rectification of hidden dangers, especially focus on the key parts and weak links of defense, do a good job in avoiding risks, and minimize casualties and disaster losses. At the same time, adhere to the "two-handed grasp" and "two-handed hard" of flood control and disaster relief. Properly resettle the lives of the affected people, increase the investment of disaster relief funds and materials, ensure the service of centralized resettlement sites in detail, effectively protect the basic living needs of the people such as food, accommodation and medical treatment, sincerely care for and properly resettle the affected people, and restore production and living order as soon as possible.

　　Give priority to "defense", play a good first move and play an active battle. More preparations for flood control, more careful investigation of potential safety hazards, and better security for the masses. Further improve the ability of "prevention", do a good job of "preparation", and constantly strengthen the risk awareness with the mentality of "I would rather prevent ten and nine empty, but I can’t fail to prevent it in case" and "I would rather prepare instead of using it, and I can’t use it without preparation", scientifically predict all kinds of disaster risks that may occur during the flood season, and always be on high alert. At the same time, only by doing all kinds of plans well and doing all the basic work well can we grasp the initiative and win the initiative. By strengthening the real-time monitoring of rain, water and mountain flood disaster risks, strengthening emergency treatment and making emergency plans, we can ensure that materials, personnel and measures for flood control and flood fighting are fully prepared, and we can be more sensitive to flood situations, win the opportunity for flood control and disaster relief, and truly realize early detection, early disposal and early resolution of potential risks.

　　Flood control work is related to the safety of people’s lives, and there is no room for paralysis and slack. Flood not only tests the disaster prevention and relief system and emergency response ability of all levels and departments, but also tests the feelings and responsibilities of party member cadres at all levels for the people. Party organizations at all levels should give full play to their strong leadership role, cadres at all levels should give full play to their exemplary role, and the vast number of party member should give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role, charging ahead, taking the lead, taking the initiative and taking the lead, maintaining the sense of responsibility of "always worrying about it" and the sense of urgency that every second counts, and earnestly guarding the soil with responsibility, responsibility and responsibility. Early warning before flood, investigation of potential risks, command and dispatch during flood control, transfer and resettlement of affected people, etc., all links and tasks need to be compacted. It is believed that the iron wall of flood control can be built by compacting the responsibility of flood control and disaster prevention in the feelings of planting for the people and grasping the various flood control and disaster relief measures.
