Zhang Guoqing emphasized the comprehensive implementation of political responsibilities and the full protection of people's lives and property safety when he visited and guided flood control and disaster relief work for the affected people in Beijing.

At the instruction of General Secretary Xi Jinping, Zhang Guoqing, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, led relevant department officials to rush to Miyun District, Beijing on the evening of the 28th to visit and comfort the disaster-affected people, and to guide flood control and disaster relief work. Zhang Guoqing visited Beijing University First Hospital Miyun Branch, Miyun District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Xinongcun Middle School relocation site, and Miyun Reservoir to convey General Secretary Xi Jinping's important directives and instructions to the disaster-affected people, grassroots cadres, and rescue personnel. He conveyed General Secretary Xi Jinping's deep concern, and he thoroughly understood the progress of search and rescue, medical treatment, relocation, engineering flood control, etc. He pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping pays high attention to the flood and disaster situations in various places, and the emergency response and disaster relief situations, repeatedly emphasizing that ensuring the safety of people's lives and property should be the top priority. He made important instructions and requirements for flood control and disaster relief work, such as fully assuming political responsibility, making all-out efforts to search and rescue missing and trapped persons, decisively relocating threatened people, tightening weak links and key areas, scientific allocation of rescue forces and disaster relief supplies, and responding promptly to emergency situations. Premier Li Qiang made multiple instructions, deploying and arranging efforts to carry out emergency rescue and treatment, strengthen prevention and response to extreme weather such as heavy rain and flooding, improve extreme weather monitoring and early warning, and strengthen patrol and risk investigation. All localities and relevant parties must resolutely implement the important directives and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, implement the requirements of Premier Li Qiang, spare no effort to search and rescue missing persons, carefully treat the injured, earnestly handle the aftermath of casualties, and carefully arrange for the basic livelihood of the disaster-affected people. Zhang Guoqing emphasized that the current flood control period is critical, and it is necessary to comprehensively consider the uncertainties of upstream water flow, reservoir safety, and downstream flood risks, and scientifically and accurately grasp the flood discharge rhythm to minimize disaster losses. It is important to strengthen cross-departmental comprehensive analysis and cross-regional joint consultation of hydrological and meteorological information, and strengthen coordinated flood control and disaster reduction in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It is important to focus on high-risk areas such as mountain torrents, steep slopes, riverbank floodplains, low-lying areas, and high-risk periods of intense rainfall at night, strengthen monitoring and early warning, take emergency evacuation measures in advance, especially for the elderly, disabled, and other groups with limited mobility, in order to ensure safe evacuation. In the event of major risks, roads and bridges should be closed, and corresponding traffic controls should be implemented to prevent casualties caused by reckless actions. It is important to implement strict safety measures for construction sites during the flood season, ensure timely emergency response, and establish a closed loop. Strengthen the grassroots flood control and disaster reduction foundation, and implement responsibility measures down to the smallest work unit.
