Currently, it is the flood season. The municipal party secretary went to residential communities and drainage pumping stations yesterday afternoon to inspect flood prevention work and study the improvement of urban sewage treatment efficiency. He emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of important speeches on disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, quickly enter a state of preparedness, maintain vigilance, fulfill responsibilities, and strengthen coordination to systematically enhance flood and typhoon prevention capabilities. He stressed the importance of taking proactive measures to uphold correct performance concepts and spare no effort in protecting people’s safety and urban security.
The Xinyue Apartment complex in Changzheng Town, Putuo District, is undergoing a rain-sewage mixed connection remediation project. Once completed, it will further improve the regional water environment and eliminate risks such as sewage overflow and road flooding. The on-site inspection examined the project’s progress and reviewed the overall situation of rain-sewage mixed connection remediation work across the city. He inquired about flood prevention preparations during construction and instructed relevant departments and districts to combine flood prevention work with the management of direct sewage discharge into rivers during the flood season. He urged seizing the time window before the main flood season to accelerate the remediation work, balancing scientific construction with safe flood passage. He called for deepening foundational work, improving mechanisms, strengthening acceptance evaluations, enhancing long-term management, enforcing accountability, preventing recurrence, and eliminating safety hazards to improve regional water quality.
The Furongjiang Pumping Station’s drainage system is the largest along the Suzhou River. The inspection covered the operation of pump station facilities and equipment, understanding the station’s storage capacity, flood season duty schedules, and emergency response measures. He was particularly interested in the frontline practical experience with the integrated drainage plant-station-network management platform since its launch, asking staff for their suggestions. He stated that this is the first year after the drainage management system reform, emphasizing the need to strengthen mechanism integration, accelerate optimization through drills, and achieve situational awareness, problem identification, and risk control to provide solid support for flood and typhoon prevention. He urged constant monitoring of flood changes, making more thorough preparations, strengthening inspections, identifying weak links, filling facility gaps, and building safety barriers. Subsequently, he visited the municipal flood control headquarters to inspect key business scenarios and command dispatch processes of the integrated drainage plant-station-network management and scheduling platform, listening to reports on flood prevention and sewage treatment efficiency improvement, and discussing the city’s flood and typhoon prevention situation with colleagues, deploying and urging key tasks.
He pointed out the need for thorough assessment of the city’s flood and typhoon prevention situation, adhering to the principle of putting people and life first, and handling all flood and typhoon prevention work with a high sense of responsibility for people’s safety and property. He emphasized eliminating complacency, luck, and slackness, acting according to scientific laws, and enhancing the scientific, regular, targeted, and effective nature of measures based on effective experience. He called for continuous optimization of the emergency command system, highlighting systematic response, improving coordination, efficiency, and command authority. He stressed enhancing the integrated dispatch capability of drainage plants and stations through drills, strengthening monitoring and early warning linkage, establishing a comprehensive response system for consultation, information sharing, early warning release, and response coordination, and improving the role of meteorological models. He emphasized timely access to grassroots information, using intelligent tools to improve dispatch accuracy and timeliness, ensuring information reaches the frontline directly. He called for intensified risk hazard investigation and rectification, focusing efforts before storms arrive, targeting underground risks like subways, tunnels, and underpasses, above-ground risks like urban-rural dilapidated buildings and construction sites, overhead risks like outdoor billboards and high-altitude structures, and invisible risks beyond traditional defense scopes, paying more attention to new point variables to ensure comprehensive rectification and dynamic elimination. He stressed strengthening grassroots emergency capabilities, implementing measures for human, technical, engineering, and management prevention, coordinating emergency rescue teams and flood prevention materials, ensuring timely response and availability when needed.
He emphasized that flood prevention responsibility is paramount. Leading cadres at all levels, especially main responsible persons, should personally take charge and command at the front, using unannounced inspections to guide, coordinate, and understand real situations at the grassroots, urging all levels to strictly implement 24-hour duty systems with leading cadres on duty. He called for consolidating responsibilities across parties, strengthening coordination between departments and regions, and conducting targeted theoretical and practical training for flood prevention responsible persons at all levels to ensure they are on duty and fulfilling duties. He stressed enhancing public education and social guidance, strengthening people’s awareness of disaster prevention, avoidance, and self-rescue capabilities, and fostering strong collective efforts to protect homes.
