Fan Bo inspects and supervises the defense work against Typhoon "White Dolphin" in Taicang.

The impact of Typhoon "Bai Dolphin" is gradually becoming evident. On August 9, Fan Bo, the Secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Committee, inspected and supervised the typhoon defense work in Taicang City. He visited the scene at Taicang Port to check on the return of vessels for shelter from the wind, the windproof measures for large machinery, and the management of container reinforcement. He also examined the operation of the Liuhe River regulating sluice and the preparations for typhoon defense. Fan Bo emphasized that the typhoon defense work for "Bai Dolphin" is now at a critical stage. It is necessary to deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important directives on flood prevention and disaster relief work, earnestly execute the decisions and deployments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, as well as the work requirements of the provincial party committee and government. It is essential to firmly establish the concept of "one goal, four preferences," adhere to the principle of putting people and lives first, and fully implement the typhoon defense deployment requirements. We must seize the current important window period to refine and implement various precautionary measures, continuously identify and resolve various risks and hidden dangers, and ensure that all measures are implemented at the smallest control units. We should highlight the leadership of party building, with leaders at all levels commanding from the forefront and stepping down to the frontline. All party members and cadres should step up, take the initiative, and fully leverage the fighting fortress role of grassroots party organizations and the exemplary role of party members, mobilizing the entire city to jointly safeguard urban safety and public peace.
