From the 14th to the 16th, Zhang Guoqing visited Kunming and Lijiang cities in Yunnan Province to conduct on-site research on the emergency rescue capabilities and disaster reduction system construction of aviation rescue teams, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction technology test bases, and other areas. He also went to grassroots forest fire prevention checkpoints to observe the fire source control situation, and commanded and dispatched the "Emergency Mission 2023" exercise and observed various exercise projects on site. He pointed out that disaster prevention, reduction, and relief are related to the safety of people's lives and property, as well as the overall stability of society. The current situation of various disasters is complex and severe, and it is necessary to establish a solid bottom line thinking, with a sense of responsibility and a tenacious spirit of struggle that cannot be trusted at all times, based on preventing and seizing major disasters, comprehensively improve the ability to prevent and respond to major disasters, and minimize disaster risks and losses. We need to prepare well for major earthquakes and disasters, strengthen research on major disaster trends, improve the monitoring and early warning capabilities of multiple types of disasters and disaster chains, highlight the tracking and monitoring of key hazardous areas, refine practical prevention measures and response plans, scientifically arrange emergency rescue forces and materials, and resolutely take the initiative in emergency rescue and disaster relief. Efforts should be made to enhance the practical emergency response capabilities of all types of disasters, strengthen the construction of comprehensive fire rescue teams and professional emergency rescue forces, strengthen the coordination and linkage between the central and local governments, equip advanced and applicable equipment, promote the joint construction and training of various teams, and practical exercises, and enhance the rescue capabilities under complex conditions, special regions, and extreme environments. We need to continue to carry out extensive publicity and education on disaster prevention and reduction, promote the whole society to enhance risk awareness, cultivate a safety culture, improve risk avoidance skills, and build a solid and solid line of defense for disaster prevention, reduction, and relief.
