Chapter 056: Preparing for the Flood

Building No. 1 of the new dormitory area of the municipal government, in the fierce inch of Changhong color TV, the weather forecast is being broadcast.

"The Central Meteorological Observatory has issued a rainstorm warning, and in the next few days, heavy rain will fall in the Yangtze River Basin,"

This sentence made Xiao Zhen frightened.

Heavy rain, bar year!

He immediately stood up, walked over to the coffee table, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, is Xiao Coin long? Ah yes, I'm Qu Xilai of the Water Conservancy Bureau, what instructions does the mayor have? A middle-aged man's voice rang on the phone.

"Well, I'm Xiao Ai, do you know that the Central Meteorological Observatory has just issued a rainstorm warning, and there will be heavy rain in the Yangtze River basin in the next few days?" Xiao Ding asked solemnly.

"Well, I haven't received news about this yet, but the water conservancy construction in various parts of the city has been very effective in recent years, and a relatively effective flood prevention and flood rescue mechanism has also been established, please rest assured that the mayor." Director Qu Xi came to hear what Xiao Sheng meant when he came to him, and immediately explained.

But Xiao Ding knows that this year's flood is huge. But what everyone didn't expect was the so-called "once in a thousand years" catastrophic flood. He immediately said solemnly: "As far as I know, our dredger has been dredging in the Tingjiang River for a short time, and the progress should not be much, like the time in 96, the county seat of Taohua County was flooded, and now you can guarantee that if there is another flood like that, it will be even more serious than that." Will we be able to survive safe and sound? ”

Qu Xilai naturally didn't dare to guarantee it, so he didn't say anything for a while, and Xiao Ding continued: "You prepare and inform the water conservancy experts and the backbone of your bureau." Tomorrow, no, this afternoon or evening, there may be an emergency meeting. ”

"Okay Mayor, I see. But will the meeting be held at the municipal party committee or the municipal government? Qu Xilai asked.

"I don't know yet, I'll tell you when I communicate with Secretary Wenhua." Xiao Ke said.

Qu Xi came to Lixuan and said, "Okay, okay." Then I'll inform the comrades in the bureau now. ”

Xiao Ding hummed, then hung up the phone, didn't wait, and immediately dialed Wang Wenhua's mobile phone number. Today is the weekend off. The office call was in vain, and he was in a hurry now, and he didn't have time to pass by Li Yinmeng.

"How is the mayor's weekend off?" Wang Wenhua asked with a smile when he answered the phone.

Xiao Ding didn't have time to talk about this at the moment, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." That's right, I just listened to the weather forecast, the Yangtze River basin will be a general rainstorm "We Langliu is the Yunmeng Lake basin three rivers converge place, according to the law of the past few years, such a general rainstorm is likely to lead to the summer flood surge, 96 years we even have a county town the whole city was flooded, I heard some experts in the capital said, this year there may be a more serious flood than 96 years, so

Wang Wenhua knew Xiao Zhen's identity, and he didn't think there was any problem with him saying that he was "listening to the experts in the capital", he had worked in Xiaonan for many years, and he knew the severity of the flood, and when he heard that it was going to rain, his hairs stood up all of a sudden, and he immediately sat up straight when he was sitting on the sand with Erlang's legs crossed to watch the video, and said, "Are you sure?" ”

Xiao Bin sighed and deliberately made a heavy tone: "I'm afraid it's ** not far from ten." ”

Wang Wenhua immediately became nervous and said: "There is no rain yet, so we must prepare as soon as possible, and the Water Conservancy Bureau should contact them immediately and ask them to quickly check how the preparations for flood control and flood control are doing." ”

Xiao Yan said: "I have already notified Comrade Qu Xilai of the Water Conservancy Bureau, secretary, look, should we hurry up and hold a meeting to discuss the several preparatory plans at the previous provincial flood control and flood control work conference to see if there are any loopholes?" In addition, the responsibility of flood fighting and rescue should be implemented in advance? Wang Wenhua immediately agreed: "Yes, to have a meeting, immediately!" I'm going to ask Yinchang to notify me soon...... Mayor, the government is pleasing you. ”

"It should." Xiao said concisely and clearly: "The afternoon meeting will be in the conference room of the municipal party committee, and we will urgently call the secretaries and county magistrates of several districts and counties to emphasize the grim situation this year, and then implement the work responsibilities of all localities." ”

Wang Wenhua said: "Okay, just do it." ”

Xiao Zhen hung up the phone and immediately called Hu Yuze, Hu Yuze knew that the situation was more urgent and serious when he heard Xiao Ding's tone, and immediately began to notify the deputy mayors in the municipal government, and then contacted the relevant municipal bureaus one by one. As for the districts and counties, he doesn't have to worry about this, it must be the first step on the side of the municipal party committee, and the cadres are under the control of the municipal party committee.

The characteristic of Huaxia is that the leader usually says how to do it, and it may not be taken seriously below, but if the leader is in a hurry, there is no one below who is not in a hurry. Because if you're not in a hurry, you're not motivated, you're not motivated, and you still want to be motivated?

The city party committee, the city government, and the organs directly under the city government immediately began to recover quickly from their leisure time on vacation, and for a time many well-dressed cadres hurried to their respective units. It's not more than halfway through. Similar scenes have arisen in various districts and counties.

The third meeting of the Langliu City Flood Control and Flood Control Work Conference was held at 2:40 p.m. In the conference room of the municipal party committee, cadres and water conservancy and hydrological experts from various places gathered temporarily.

Wang Wenhua, secretary of the municipal party committee, had a grim face, and Xiao Ding, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor, each had one sandwiched. The briefcase hurried in from outside, nervously talking about something.

"Okay, I won't say much about the opening remarks. This morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a heavy rain forecast, and heavy rain will fall in the Yangtze River basin in the next few days. According to other sources. This year, we are likely to encounter a major flood in the Yangtze River valley on the scale of 96 years, so Mayor Xiao Ke and I have temporarily convened everyone to hold this meeting, hoping that you will listen carefully, actively make suggestions, and take responsibility for our six million fathers and villagers in Langliu. "Wang Wenhua.

He put down the manuscript in his hand and didn't have time to write any manuscript, and most of the content today has to be taken off the manuscript to speak: "Before coming to the meeting just now, I had some exchanges with Mayor Xiao Ding on Langliu's flood prevention and flood control work, and as a secretary of the municipal party committee who had just been transferred from other places, I had some feelings.

It should be said that Langliu City has always had a high understanding of flood prevention work, and has also made great efforts to grasp water conservancy construction. Some major projects have been grasped, such as the construction of the Jiangla Reservoir and the Sooshi Reservoir in the Lishui Basin, which are like two big locks, which have greatly improved the flood prevention capacity. This year's preparations are also relatively solid. The implementation of the responsibility system, the training of cadres, and the preparation of flood control equipment are all relatively standardized, and people feel very confident. In particular, now we have taken the initiative to move out some of the people who have been storing and scratching the flood, and after the flood reaches a certain water level, they can open the flood gates in time to store the floodwater, which is in line with the scientific exhibition concept. ”

"When I was talking to Mayor Xiao just now. Speaking of a situation, on the issue of flood control, we used to emphasize that people were on the embankment. People are not on the embankment, but they are still there, and this courage is good. But it does not conform to the objective law of things. If there is no certain storage and discharge area, it will only cause greater losses, especially the weak links of those key embankments, and there may be big problems. This realization can be difficult to accept in ordinary places. Why? That is, the common people have a point of view, if the scratcher naturally collapses, it is the will of God; If it is artificially to blow up this raccoon, it will be decided by a certain leader, and the contradictions will be very much for the leading organs at all levels and the leading organs of the continent to understand the same issue, we must be far-sighted, take the overall situation and the overall situation into account, and make a judgment when it is decided, and there must be no hesitation or hesitation. Of course, this decision must also be based on a deep understanding of the flood situation and a comprehensive grasp of the water situation. This requires us to determine a water level according to the water situation in advance, determine a part of the flood storage area, and move Xiaomin out first for emergency use. Although it is not easy to do so, this is a sober, rational, and scientific understanding that has reached a new level and a new height, and must be upheld. Next, we ask Mayor Xiao to make arrangements on how to further strengthen responsibilities, do a good job in implementation, make preparations for flood prevention and disaster prevention, and win a comprehensive victory in flood prevention and disaster relief this year

Naturally, Lixuan burst into warm applause in the conference room.

Because of the time relationship, it is obvious that Xiao Ke did not have a script, and he was also empty-handed, and all of his speeches were taken off the script.

"Secretary Caicai Wenhua has already given instructions on our flood prevention and flood control work in Langliu, and I agree with them.

Now I will talk about the three aspects of the problem, or the requirements, I hope you will listen carefully. "The biggest city situation in the district is the water situation, which has always been full of floods and disasters. We must have a sober understanding of the flood prevention issue and maintain a high degree of vigilance after the change of term of office of Mao's party committees and governments at all levels this year, there will be a relatively large number of new cadres who are not very familiar with flood prevention work. Specifically, there are these points: It is necessary to deeply understand the impact of water conditions and floods. At the last flood control and flood control work conference, Comrade Wan talked about six aspects of the water situation in Langliu, and I think the most prominent one is "three more: First, there are many rivers." Langliu has large and small rivers Xu, strips, is the corridor of the two waters of the Tingjiang River, is the corridor of the Yangtze River to Yunmeng Lake, and is also a water bag of Yunmeng Lake; In addition, Yunmeng Lake has an average annual siltation of 8 centimeters, although the situation may improve after the construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir, but after all, the siltation is still increasing. Nowadays, many rivers are overhangs. Many of the embankments and pits are high in water and low in the fields, and the collapse is like the collapse of a reservoir, which is a catastrophe. Second, there are many embankments and reservoirs. Langliu has more than 10,000 acres of embankments, focusing on the whole province. One, Langliu accounted for one, close to one-half, the flood control task is very heavy, the flood control embankment is long and many kilometers, the city's people are 4 meters flat, and the average rural population in Anxiang is up to 1 meter, and the task is very heavy. Third, there are many disasters. Floods now occur on average once every two to three years. And it is often full before and after the early, sometimes it is a drought in the east and the west, sometimes there is a flood disaster on the side of Anxiang and Hanning, but there is a drought on the side of Shipai, which often alternates, especially the impact of mountain flood geological disasters in hilly areas is also increasing. In recent years, some places have experienced high-intensity rainfall, causing major disasters, which is closely related to the topography. Why does the province attach great importance to the prevention of flash floods and geological disasters this year? This is because the water in the lake area has been coming for a long time, and there is a process of rising, while the geological disasters of flash floods in the hilly areas come quickly and cannot be prepared. often results in significant losses. There are more than four reservoirs in Langliu City, mainly built in the 50s and 60s, and they are in disrepair for a long time, and there are many sick and dangerous reservoirs. 2. It is necessary to soberly realize that the overall defense capability is still relatively low. At the beginning of this year, the state has increased its investment in the flood control of Yunmeng Lake and the Yangtze River, and has begun to build some water conservancy facilities, thus enhancing its disaster prevention capabilities. But because it's just started, the effect is still not obvious. So you have to see that our overall flood protection capacity is not high. The Jiangbei urban area of Langliu City, according to the standard of once in a century, can only be said to be basically up to standard; According to the standard of once in 50 years, a considerable part of the county has not yet reached the standard, and in some places, the standard of once in 20 years has not yet been fully met. This is a very grim objective reality. However, the amount of rain does not shift by our will. Generally speaking, there is a lot of rainfall, as long as it rains evenly, there is no problem, and the most terrible thing is that the short-term, high-intensity rainfall will cause a catastrophe. And this year is likely to be the type of rainfall. Why are flash floods and geological disasters a major casualty in a lifetime? It is a short period of heavy rainfall, and the people have no way to notify it, coupled with a weak sense of prevention, it is swallowed up by a sudden disaster. Of course, there is also the problem of the sense of responsibility of the cadres, and when we were hit by the disaster in the following year, when I went to Xinghekou to investigate the disaster situation, there were two villages where the situation was diametrically opposed. When the village cadres of a village do the work one by one and transfer the people out, there are very few casualties in the village; The other village cadre lacks a sense of responsibility and does not care about things, and this is the case where the village casualties are very serious. It can be seen that if grassroots cadres have a strong sense of responsibility and organize the transfer of the masses in a timely manner, at least their personal safety can be guaranteed. Places like Shipai's Hubian Mountain in the capital are all rainstorm areas, and we must pay attention to this kind of problem. ”

Xiao Ding took a sip of water and said: "Not only is it necessary to be vigilant at all times during the rainfall, but also to have a sense of safety precautions in daily life, such as building houses. At present, there is not much experience in preventing mountain floods and geological disasters, and there have been successive accidents in some places in recent years, so we must attach great importance to it. It is important to recognize that the severity of the flood threat has not changed. A large amount of water inflow, a weak capacity to regulate and store water, including abnormal weather conditions, and the formation of a bad combination, may cause major disasters in a certain period of time. 3. It is necessary to prevent ideological paralysis and carelessness. On the issue of flood prevention, I often make a point of view: If you are not afraid of a big flood, you are afraid of carelessness. As long as something is taken seriously, there will be a way. They can all be prevented, but they are afraid of being paralyzed and careless. There have been some new developments in recent years. For example, there are many young and middle-aged people in rural areas who go out to work, and there are not a few young and middle-aged laborers in a village, all of whom are elderly and children. Personnel are difficult to mobilize. In the past, it was a united city, and as many people as you wanted, you could go to as many people. I am now pondering one thing, in the area of school education, we should popularize the knowledge of flood prevention in middle schools. At critical times, middle school students can also top one, on the labor force. In view of the new situation and new problems, especially the conspicuous problem of the shortage of rural labor, it is necessary to have emergency measures. Now we are preventing the flood. The transfer work and rescue work mainly rely on the troops. However, with such a long front in the whole province, there are few troops, and it is necessary to protect key cities, and in addition, after the change of cadres at all levels, although the new team members have higher diplomas and are younger than in the past, they are familiar with the water situation, whether they can prevent floods, whether they can do mass work, and whether they have the spirit of enduring hardships. In addition, although the standard of material reserves has been raised, to be honest, after the real flood comes, it still depends on manpower, and we must prepare manpower and material resources, especially manpower, in sufficient and in place. I think there are still some deficiencies in our work now, this is not to deny the work that we have done, but this matter is too important, there can be no carelessness, the big aspects should be grasped in small aspects, including the details, can not be sloppy, and earnestly grasp the implementation. "Strengthen our work initiatives to ensure that we are prepared and foolproof. There are many clues in flood control work, and the task is very heavy, and I feel that there are many things to do. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of implementation. Let's just take the water situation in '96 for the time being. It is necessary to meet the requirements under the same water conditions, such as making sure that there is no breaching within the design flood. Don't collapse a library, don't die a person, this is the job requirement; In case of standard floods, it is necessary to ensure the safety of towns and large and medium-sized reservoirs, notches, and trunk roads, and to put an end to the mass shame in the event of a major mountain flood geological disaster.... The goal is very clear. How do you ensure your goals? That is, to do a good job in implementing one work after another, and to give prominence to the key points of flood prevention. The flood prevention work in the lake area is to highlight the key embankments, dangerous embankment sections, buildings that penetrate the embankments, and some weak links in the work. The key issue is where the weak links are, and the weak links are the links that are prone to problems, and some embankment sections are repaired once in 200 years, and some places are once in 10 years, and the problems may be in the places that occur once in 10 years, so special attention should be paid to the weak links in the embankment section and the weak links in the work, including the weak links in the flood control period. Judging from the teachings of the past, accidents are often the most likely to occur at noon, and accidents are most likely to occur at night and early in the morning. The weak links in the hilly area are key reservoirs, sick reservoirs, reservoirs and rainstorm areas in the upper reaches of urban transportation arteries. Here I say a new requirement, this year I ask the meteorological department to install small TV screens in the countryside in the rainstorm area, and put them at the intersection, so that the people can see it clearly at a glance and know the direction and approximate time of **. Be prepared. Now many comrades say that I, Mayor Xiao, am an iron rooster, who does not pull out a dime and does not approve money. Here I will say a word, this money is allocated by the city government

After Xiao Ke's last sentence, the whole venue burst into laughter, many cadres have never seen Xiao Ke joking in a meeting, but there are also some people who are now, Xiao Zhen does not seem to be unwilling to use money, but the place where it is used is very particular and strict. He used the money that was related to the safety of people's lives and property very generously. Don't look at a few small TV sets, if you narrow it down to a village or even a group. Then this money is not a small amount of money, but Mayor Xiao did not have an iron rooster at all at this time, but talked about the allocation of the city government very commonly.

Xiao Ding continued: "? It is necessary to pay close attention to material reserves. It is necessary to persist in giving priority to grain and grass and not to fight unprepared battles. Preparation of flood control materials this year. The whole country has raised its standards, and we must do it according to the standards and requirements, and there must be no falsehood. Prevention is more important than grabbing, and grabbing is more important than saving. Everything must be based on prevention, and we must fully stock up and prepare emergency equipment, and make good preparations for preventing major floods and rushing into major dangers. Just now, Secretary Wenhua and several comrades of the Standing Committee have studied it, and we are very supportive and will try our best to help you solve relevant problems. But support is support. We must do our own work well at all levels. This must be made clear. ”

"3. It is necessary to implement the responsibility for flood prevention.

It is mainly responsible for four aspects: to improve various emergency plans; It is necessary to strengthen operational training; improve the responsibility system; It is necessary to strictly enforce work discipline. These responsibility systems must have clear responsibilities and clear rewards and punishments. The responsibility system must be implemented by the accountability system, and there is no accountability system. Accountability is an empty word. Preventing holes is to fight, it is an overriding event, rain and flood conditions are military orders, and they must be ordered and forbidden, and they must be carried out vigorously and resolutely. Unsentimental. Ah Nian was in Dingqing District for flood control, and I was dismissed from the post of secretary of the township party committee on the spot. At that time, the water level was already alert, but there was no one on the entire flood control levee. Is it okay if such a secretary is not removed? Then I gave the town's temporarily appointed party secretary an authority on the issue of flood control. If any team member does not obey the command, your party secretary has the right to remove him from office on the spot. Flood control is a tough battle, and if the cadres' work style is not hardened, something will definitely happen. Human life is at stake, if grassroots cadres and party cadres do not come forward at a critical time. If we do not adhere to our principles, we will harm the people. The masses in front of Dakong do not listen, such a crowd is a diao people, and it must be rectified. In extraordinary times, it is necessary to have extraordinary measures and strict discipline, and those who do not observe the discipline of flood prevention and do not conscientiously and earnestly perform their duties will be resolutely punished. Third, we should focus on the long-term development and earnestly intensify water conservancy construction in flood prevention and disaster relief, and we should grasp both the present and the long term. To form a resultant force. Langliu is located in the Yunmeng Lake area, whether there are many embankments and long defense lines. None of this can be changed in a short period of time. The only thing we can do is how to increase investment in water conservancy and how to gradually turn floods and disasters into water conservancy. The Party Central Committee and the Government Council attach great importance to the governance of Yunmeng Lake, and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government also attach great importance to it, not to mention the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. The central and provincial authorities have also taken a lot of funds for these flood storage and major projects that we are looking at today, and of course a lot of work has also been done at the city, county, and township levels. However, the flooding problem of Yunmeng Lake has not been fundamentally solved, but has only been alleviated. Yunmenghu District is a major grain producing area and has made great contributions to the country. Since the reform and opening up, China's cities have changed rapidly, and the hilly areas have also changed greatly. However, in the lake area, there has not been much change, and the farmers are still very bitter. How to speed up the governance of Yunmeng Lake District, it is necessary to actively seek support from the central government. A number of new issues have been raised, including the issue of priority and flood storage, food production and ecology. From the perspective of scientific exhibition, we should study new problems according to the new situation, and strive for the support of the central government with new ideas and methods, so that the central government will pay more attention to the management of Yunmeng Lake and have more and greater investment. It is also necessary to integrate its own resources. A resultant force is formed. For example, the Planning Commission, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Finance, and other departments should study how to raise relevant funds in a unified manner so as to maximize the benefits of the limited funds. ”“? It is necessary to actively study the issue of the water conservancy input system. The investment in water conservancy construction is large, and it is very difficult to rely entirely on the financial department to carry out water conservancy construction. In the past few years, I have been thinking about how to use the concept of grasping urban construction to guide the issue of water conservancy construction, and how to bundle up the funds of relevant parties for the construction of key water conservancy projects. Langliu poetry wall is to tie the money of urban construction, transportation and water conservancy together, and the poetry wall after completion is a very good flood control model project for the water conservancy department, a place for leisure and entertainment for the people, and for urban construction and transportation, it solves the problem of a ring line to guide circulation. Drawing on the experience and methods of running the city, the city has set up a water conservancy investment company to specialize in the operation of land resources to carry out water conservancy construction. In short, it will not work if everything is done by relying on the treasury to get money, and it is necessary to build a financing platform and smooth investment channels. There are many ways to solve the problem of investment in water conservancy construction, and the key lies in our use of our brains and solutions. 3. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of water conservancy infrastructure. We must do a good job in basic work, such as the construction of information networks, early warning systems, and repair and defense committees. The Repair and Defense Committee is the bridgehead for flood prevention and rescue and is the most basic level. Now the conditions are very poor, and they must be improved. The real water is coming. One is the headquarters, and the other is the repair committee. Only by strengthening the foundation at the grassroots level can we prevent and fight disasters in a timely and effective manner. We must attach importance to this aspect of construction. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening the basic work. It is not only necessary to build a flood control building, but more importantly, to build supporting facilities to ensure that the flood situation and disaster situation can be understood in a timely manner and reported to the public in a timely manner

Xiao Zhen said it very long, much more than Wang Wenhua. This is something that can't be helped, although Wang Wenhua understands that the water situation in Xiaonan is serious, but after all, he has been in the agency before, and he has not gone deep into the grassroots, and these specific things have to be explained by Xiao Zhen one by one. After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he did not adjourn the meeting, and asked the experts of the Langliu Water Conservancy Bureau and the Hydrological Bureau to carefully analyze the situation in some key places and make arrangements for these situations.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, before the meeting was finished, the canteen of the municipal party committee prepared a working meal, and after eating, everyone continued to hold the meeting until the old o'clock in the evening. The meeting finally adjourned.

Once the preparations are complete, it's time for the rainstorm to put them to the test. Yi Xunshu is sunned and concave is not the same body clam
