What do you mean by fighting floods?

Flood control refers to: taking measures to avoid serious disasters when floods occur; flood control and disaster relief.

1, flood control and disaster relief

Flood fighting and disaster relief is a severe struggle to protect people's lives and property. Facing the flood, the flood fighter Qi Xin Qi Xin worked together to overcome the difficulties and built an indestructible Great Wall of steel for the affected people.

When the flood season comes, governments at all levels and the broad masses of the people are always vigilant, closely monitor the rain and water conditions, and issue early warning information in time to ensure the orderly development of flood control and disaster relief work. In the process of flood fighting and disaster relief, all parts of the country mobilized urgently and mobilized all forces to provide human, material and financial support to the affected areas.

The officers and men of the People's Liberation Army, the officers and men of the Armed Police, the police officers and the militia reserve personnel were dispatched urgently to fight floods and rescue, and became the mainstay of the battlefield for flood control and disaster relief.

2, flood control engineering measures

These measures include the construction of flood control dikes, reservoirs and water diversion projects. Used to control and dispatch floods, store floods separately and reduce flood peaks. These engineering measures can effectively reduce the disaster losses when floods occur. In China, flood control is always a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood. In recent years, China's flood control engineering measures have been continuously improved, greatly reducing the threat of flood disasters to people's lives and property. The function of dikes is to restrain water flow and improve the flood discharge capacity of rivers. In order to expand the flood discharge capacity of the river, in addition to heightening and thickening dikes, measures should also be taken to dredge the river, bend and straighten it, rebuild and retreat, and remove obstacles blocking the river in time.

3. Protect people's lives and property.

Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters. It can destroy houses, farmland and even take countless lives in an instant. Therefore, the primary task of flood control is to protect people's lives and property. In the process of flood fighting and disaster relief, it is necessary to promptly warn and evacuate the affected people to ensure that they are far from danger; At the same time, it is necessary to organize professional rescue teams to search and rescue the trapped people and minimize casualties.

Flood-fighting case

1, 1998 catastrophic flood

From 65438 to 0998, the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River and Songhua River basins in China suffered from severe floods, which caused great losses to people's lives and property. Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the whole party, the whole army and the people of the whole country fought in unity and won an all-round victory in flood fighting and emergency rescue.

Flood control and disaster relief in 2020

Since the flood season in 2020, many places in southern China have been hit by heavy rainfall, and floods in many rivers have exceeded the police, causing geological disasters such as mountain torrents and mudslides, causing heavy casualties and property losses. In this flood fighting and disaster relief, the government and people of China once again demonstrated their strong ability to cope with natural disasters.
