The reporter learned from the Ministry of Emergency Management on the 18th that the Office of the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Commission, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Emergency Management issued an emergency notice on the 17th to deploy all regions and relevant departments and units to effectively inspect and investigate hidden geological disaster risks and disaster prevention and response. The notice pointed out that recently, landslides and collapses occurred one after another in Dangchang County in Gansu and Pengshui County in Chongqing, causing major casualties, revealing problems such as inadequate coverage of normalized inspection and investigation of hidden geological disaster risks, and untimely detection and judgment of early signs of disasters. The notice emphasizes that inspections and investigations of important hidden hazard sites should be carried out to investigate registered geological hazard sites with poor stability, obvious signs of recent activity, red warnings in monitoring and early warning equipment in the past two years, disturbances in slope cutting and housing construction, and rainfall as the main influencing factors. Investigate and review the basic characteristics of the disaster site, the target of the threat, the extent of the dangerous area, the operation of the installed monitoring equipment, and the prevention and control measures taken and the effectiveness. It is necessary to do a good job of inspecting and investigating key risk areas. The identified medium risk areas and above within the jurisdiction, especially risk areas located in key areas such as towns and village groups, should be investigated one by one. Key reviews should be carried out on steep slopes and steep cliffs, cut slopes to build houses, etc., and those showing signs of deformation should be immediately included in hidden hazard accounts, and preventive measures such as monitoring and early warning should be arranged. The notice requires that prevention measures should be strengthened for geological disaster risk areas with high rainfall in the early stages, abundant groundwater, rapid changes in humidity, rapid changes in droughts and floods, and strong human engineering activities, to promptly investigate trends in the occurrence and development of geological disasters, and promptly publish early warning and forecasting information through multiple channels and forms. It is necessary to implement a disaster warning “wake-up call” and “response” mechanism, resolutely transfer threatened people, implement support measures for special groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, pregnant, and children, and effectively implement “they should move early” and “they should be completely reversed,” without leaving one household behind.
