Recently, the 2025 National Emergency Management Work Conference on Flood Control and Drought Relief was held in Zhejiang. The conference emphasized that at present, extreme weather events are becoming more and more intense in our country. Victims are prominent due to weak links such as floods in small and medium-sized rivers, flash floods, and flooding in urban and rural areas. The risk of flooding in river basins cannot be underestimated, and emergency response capabilities are being tested. From the height of better integrated development and safety, we must deeply understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job in flood control and drought relief, speed up the construction of a scientific and efficient flood and drought disaster prevention and control system, systematically fill up the shortcomings and weaknesses in flood control and disaster mitigation in various regions, especially in the northern region, and strive to prevent and mitigate the risks of major floods and droughts. It is necessary to continuously improve the flood control and drought relief command system and departmental coordination and linkage mechanism, make targeted preparations, response and disposal work for flood control and drought relief, carry out extensive science publicity and education on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, and continuously raise the cadres' and mass awareness of disaster prevention and safe-haven and their ability to help themselves and each other.
