　　On the morning of July 26, Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, hosted a video conference at the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters to study the current and next steps of flood relief and flood prevention.

　　The Emergency Management Department made a report on behalf of the National Defense Directorate.

Li Keqiang and Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other provincial governments with heavy flood control and disaster relief tasks are mainly responsible for comrade video connections, and listen to reports from the heads of the Meteorological Bureau, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport. To learn more about flood prevention and disaster relief work, the next step in preparations, etc., it is required that the string of safety be tightened, and various measures should be grasped carefully.

　　Li Keqiang said that the recent extreme heavy rainfall in my country has caused heavy casualties and property losses, which is distressing.

The disaster-affected areas and relevant parties have done their best to rescue and rescue disasters and have done a lot of work.

It is necessary to continue to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions for flood prevention and disaster relief work, implement the deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and do not relax to grasp the next step.

At present, it is the most critical stage of "seven lower and eight upper" flood control. It is predicted that there may be extreme heavy rainfall in some parts of the north. Typhoons will have a greater impact on coastal areas. The flood control situation is very severe. All-round measures must be taken to prevent disasters. Before it happens, minimize the loss.

　　Li Keqiang pointed out that it is necessary to always put the protection of people's lives and property safety in the first place, and go all out to do a good job in flood prevention and disaster relief.

Human life is a matter of life, and disaster-stricken areas such as Henan must make the rescue of the trapped people the primary task of flood prevention and disaster relief, leaving no dead ends, leaving no one behind, and minimizing casualties.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must do our best.

Dispatch professional teams and equipment in time, mobilize social forces, and support disaster relief where needed.

Seek truth from facts, and publish rescue information in an open and transparent manner.

　　Li Keqiang said that it is necessary to highlight key points and strengthen weak links.

Intensify monitoring and forecasting of rain and flood conditions and typhoons, strengthen early warning and response mechanisms, achieve timely early warning and timely response, and improve emergency response capabilities and self-protection awareness of the people.

In emergency situations, in response to serious urban waterlogging, it is necessary to organize the masses to avoid danger in time, and decisively implement suspension of work, school and business, except for special industries, to ensure the smooth flow of electricity, water supply, and communication in important units such as hospitals.

Especially for urban subways, tunnels, underground spaces, etc., where people are crowded, there must be hard measures to ensure the safety of the people. It is better to be more strict, stop when you stop, and seal when you stop, so as to effectively avoid casualties.

Focus on key rivers, reservoirs, dams, major infrastructure safety, and waterlogging prevention in key urban public places, strengthen inspections and guards, prepare sufficient flood control and disaster relief materials, and immediately dispose of them when there is a danger, and there must be no negligence and delay.

Strictly prevent disasters such as mountain floods and mudslides.

　　Li Keqiang said that it is necessary to properly comfort and comfort the families of the victims, ensure the basic lives of the people affected and transferred, strengthen sanitation and epidemic prevention in the disaster areas, speed up dredging and drainage, and restore power and water supply, transportation and communications as soon as possible.

To carry out production recovery and post-disaster reconstruction, immediately use the central financial reserve funds, first allocate several billion yuan of funds to support the severely affected areas, and increase support according to the progress of the disaster inspection.

Local governments should also arrange special funds.

At the same time, make good use of social donation funds in an open and transparent manner.

　　Li Keqiang emphasized that it is necessary to refine and consolidate all aspects, levels, and links of responsibilities, assign them to people, and hold those who neglect their duties seriously.

Earnestly sum up experience and lessons, improve emergency response plans and related systems, and improve the ability to prevent and respond to major emergencies.

All regions and departments must, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, adhere to the people-centered approach, safeguard the peace of one side, and promote the stable and healthy economic and social development.

　　Wang Yong, Xiao Jie and He Lifeng participated.
