China News Service, April 2 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the General Office of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently issued a notice on urban drainage and flood prevention in 2024. The notice requires that we do a solid job in inspection and maintenance of drainage and flood prevention facilities and equipment, accelerate the implementation of rectification of flood-prone and hidden trouble spots, and continue to promote the construction of urban drainage and flood prevention systems.
The notice stated that all localities should seize the critical opportunity before floods to carry out supervision and inspections, organize cities to carry out physical examinations and self-assessments, and establish a working mechanism for discovering problems, solving problems, evaluating effects, and consolidating improvements; it is necessary to guide and supervise the housing and urban-rural construction (drainage) of each city. ) department shall carry out the clearing and maintenance of drainage pipe networks and maintenance of facilities and equipment. The housing and urban-rural development (drainage) departments of various cities must promptly organize and clear out silt-blocked drainage pipe networks and ancillary facilities, and dredge urban rivers with drainage functions to ensure smooth drainage; facilities and equipment such as pumping stations, gates, and gates must be inspected. Organize and carry out maintenance and repairs to ensure safe and normal operation; inspect and maintain mobile pump trucks, emergency equipment, etc. to ensure that they are in a "hot standby" state that can be activated at any time; repair missing and damaged manhole covers, and implement anti-fall measures. Prevent safety incidents from occurring.
At the same time, the housing and urban-rural development (drainage) departments of each city must comprehensively investigate the risk of waterlogging, update the account of waterlogging points in a timely manner, and formulate a "one point, one policy" plan based on systematic planning, distinguishing priorities and impact levels, Refine governance tasks, clarify responsible units and persons, and eliminate hidden risks. For waterlogging-prone water spots that cannot be rectified before the flood, temporary emergency response measures should be taken, eye-catching and easily identifiable public warning signs should be set up, and emergency rescue and patrol personnel should be arranged to avoid casualties. It is necessary to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of urban infrastructure in areas prone to water accumulation to prevent street lamps and poles and other municipal facilities from leakage accidents due to water accumulation; it is necessary to carry out inspections and rectification of risk points such as sunken overpasses, sunken tunnels and urban low-lying areas, and eliminate them in a timely manner Hidden dangers of water accumulation; measures should be taken to prevent flooding and backflow at important points such as entrances, exits, and vents of underground spaces in subways and buildings. Under extreme weather conditions or when serious waterlogging disasters may occur, measures such as suspension of work, production suspension, suspension of operations, and relocation are decisively adopted. At the same time, we have carried out extensive publicity on urban drainage and flood prevention to enhance public awareness of disaster prevention and risk avoidance.
The notice requires that all localities should guide urban housing and urban-rural development (drainage) departments to implement the relevant requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan Urban Drainage and Flood Prevention System Construction Action Plan", and strive to promote drainage pipe networks, The construction of drainage pumping stations, regulation and storage facilities, drainage channels and protection facilities at important points will be accelerated to build an urban drainage and flood prevention engineering system of "source emission reduction, pipe network discharge, simultaneous development of storage and discharge, and emergency response when standards exceed standards". It is necessary to make good use of national debt funds, speed up the progress of project construction, and realize benefits as soon as possible. In conjunction with the construction of urban infrastructure lifeline projects, necessary intelligent sensing terminal equipment should be deployed according to local conditions at key nodes of drainage facilities and points prone to waterlogging to improve the level of intelligent drainage and flood prevention.
The notice also proposed that housing and urban-rural development departments at all levels should strengthen the management of the entire process of urban drainage and flood prevention project construction, strengthen supervision of project quality and safety, implement safety production responsibilities to the smallest unit, and resolutely eliminate blind spots in supervision. It is necessary to carry out targeted special inspections based on local realities, focusing on accident-prone areas such as limited space operations, trench excavation operations, and high-altitude operations, to effectively eliminate various accident hazards.
In addition, the housing and urban-rural development (drainage) departments at all levels should strengthen information sharing and collaboration with meteorological, emergency, water conservancy, transportation and other departments, pay close attention to rain, water, and waterlogging conditions, initiate emergency response in a timely manner, and strengthen rivers, lakes, and sluices. , joint discharge and adjustment of drainage pipe networks, pumping stations, etc., and timely measures such as pre-vacation and pre-precipitation of water levels based on weather warning information to free up space in pipe networks, rivers and storage facilities to ensure smooth rainwater storage and drainage.
