In the first quarter, my country's natural disasters were mainly low-temperature freezing, snow disasters, earthquakes, and wind and hail disasters. Floods, droughts, geological disasters, sandstorms, forest and grassland fires also occurred to varying degrees.
Various natural disasters caused a total of 9.531 million person-times affected, 6 people died due to the disaster, and the direct economic loss was 15.03 billion yuan.
The national natural disasters in the first quarter mainly showed the following characteristics: First, there were 6 large-scale low-temperature rain and snow weather events across the country. Low-temperature freezing and snow disasters had a greater impact on the southwest and central and southern regions, and the disaster losses were heavier than the same period in recent years.
Second, a total of 8 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or above occurred in mainland China, mainly in the northwest and southwest regions, among which two strong earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above occurred in Qinghai.
Third, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan experienced the first regional strong convective weather process this year, and local wind and hail disasters occurred.
Fourth, three large-scale rainfall occurred in the southern region in March, local floods occurred, and the situation in the north was stable.
Fifth, the continuous drought in autumn, winter and spring in the Pearl River Basin has basically been lifted, and drought conditions in Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places have begun to appear.
Sixth, forest and grassland fires are mainly concentrated in the south and northwest regions, and the situation is relatively stable.
In addition, regarding the safety production situation in the first quarter, Shen Zhanli introduced that in the first quarter, there were 4,608 production safety accidents and 3,935 deaths nationwide, including 83 major accidents and 341 deaths; 3 major accidents and 38 deaths. ; 1 particularly serious accident, namely "3.21" China Eastern Airlines MU5735 aircraft flight accident, resulting in 132 deaths.
In general, the total number of production safety accidents and major accidents in the country have decreased significantly year-on-year. The situation in most industries and regions is stable, but major accidents have rebounded.
The 4 major accidents were distributed in Guizhou, Liaoning and other provinces and air transport, construction, mining, fishing vessels and other industries.
Judging from the characteristics of accidents in the first quarter, the main manifestations are "seven outstanding": First, the mining industry has prominent problems such as illegal and illegal mining, concealment, and illegal mining. Under the condition that the price of mineral resources continues to be high, some lawbreakers take risks and repeatedly violate the law. safety bottom line.
Second, the problems of illegal construction and construction in the construction field are prominent, and the intensive resumption of work and production has exacerbated safety risks.
Third, the transportation of dangerous goods and passenger safety risks in the field of transportation are prominent, and air accidents have occurred in civil aviation.
Fourth, water transportation and fishing vessels have entered a period where accidents are prone to occur frequently, and the problem of venturing out to sea for fishing operations before the advent of the fishing ban period is prominent.
Fifth, the inspection and maintenance and trial production links in the field of chemical hazardous chemicals have prominent risks. Accidents are more frequent in the western region. Of the 32 chemical accidents, 15 occurred in the inspection and maintenance link, and 14 occurred in the western region.
Sixth, industrial and trade metallurgical accidents occur frequently. In some areas, explosion accidents in steel and aluminum processing (deep well casting) have occurred continuously. In some steel plants, environmental protection facilities such as desulfurization and deashing have suffered major accidents due to outsourcing, inspection and maintenance safety management, and safety risks are prominent.
Seventh, the hidden dangers of fire safety in crowded places such as group rental houses and hospitals are prominent, and the risk of fire in the field of new energy is increasing.
Shen Zhanli pointed out that in the second quarter, extreme weather such as high temperature, heavy rain, thunder and lightning began to increase, and the production and operation activities of related industries tended to be vigorous. In addition, due to the impact of the external environment, the intensified rebound of the epidemic, and the instability of the supply chain and other unfavorable factors, the security situation became even more severe. Complex and severe.
The emergency management system will better coordinate development and safety, promote the implementation of the fifteen measures formulated by the Safety Committee of the State Council to further strengthen the implementation of safety production responsibilities, and resolutely prevent and contain major accidents. .
