The Information Office of the State Council held a regular briefing on the policies of the State Council on the morning of the 25th to introduce the increase in the issuance of treasury bond, support for post disaster recovery and reconstruction, and enhance the capacity for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. Zhang Shixin, Deputy Secretary General of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the meeting that the additional issuance of treasury bond would give priority to supporting the restoration and reconstruction of flood damaged facilities. At the meeting, a reporter asked, one of the key support points of the additional 1 trillion yuan of special treasury bond is the post disaster recovery and reconstruction of North China, which focuses on the economy. What specific support projects are there? In response, Zhang Shixin stated that from July 29th to August 2nd this year, some areas in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei experienced historically rare extreme heavy rainfall, and a "23.7" catastrophic flood occurred in the Haihe River basin. At present, the National Development and Reform Commission is taking the lead in collaborating with relevant departments and local governments to accelerate the preparation of the "Plan for Improving Disaster Prevention and Reduction Capacity in Postdisaster Recovery and Reconstruction of North China with a Focus on Beijing Tianjin Hebei". This additional issue of treasury bond will focus on supporting the implementation of the Plan, mainly for the following purposes: First, give priority to supporting the restoration and reconstruction projects of water damaged facilities. Adhering to the principle of putting the people first and prioritizing people's livelihoods, and based on addressing the urgent needs and anxieties of the people, with the support of various funds such as emergency relief funds from the central government, priority has been given to the restoration and reconstruction of damaged residential buildings, ensuring that the people in the disaster stricken areas can live a warm winter. The additional issuance of treasury bond will focus on accelerating the restoration and reconstruction of public service facilities closely related to people's livelihood, such as hospitals, schools, old-age care, public sports and culture, accelerating the repair of flooded farmland, and improving production and living conditions in disaster areas as soon as possible. In addition, we will accelerate the restoration and reconstruction of infrastructure such as transportation, energy, communication, and municipal facilities, ensuring that the restoration and reconstruction of water damaged projects are completed to a high standard before the main flood season of 2024, and rebuilding a beautiful new home. The second is to simultaneously support the improvement of regional disaster prevention and reduction capabilities. Adhere to systematic planning, implement policies based on rivers, and anchor the task goal of building a higher level of safe new home. Vigorously promote the comprehensive management of rivers such as the Daqing River, Yongding River, Beisan River, Ziya River, Zhangwei River, and accelerate the implementation of a series of major projects such as dredging of backbone rivers, strengthening of important embankments, and construction of flood storage and detention areas to meet standards; Adhere to the principle of "one city, one policy", systematically promote the construction of urban drainage capacity, increase the renovation and renovation of drainage networks, pumping stations and other facilities, and carry out comprehensive renovation of low-lying and easily waterlogged road sections. Thirdly, we will vigorously improve the level of monitoring and early warning. We will persist in taking precautions and taking precautions against disasters. In disaster prone areas, radar observation blind spots, and key protected areas, we will strengthen and enhance grassroots meteorological stations, ground meteorological observation stations, rainfall, hydrology, and water level stations, and enhance our ability to predict and warn extreme weather in the short term. Accelerate the construction of national and regional emergency rescue centers, improve the layout of emergency material reserves, promote the construction of grassroots shelters, strengthen the construction of emergency teams, and enhance regional security capabilities and levels. Zhang Shixin emphasized that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will base itself on the actual situation of the disaster area, prioritize and prioritize key areas and links, reasonably arrange construction priorities and timing, and strive to provide important support for achieving peace and stability in the Haihe River and the region through planning and implementation.
