Hey there! 🌟 So, China's Premier Li Qiang is hitting the ground running to tackle some serious weather challenges. During his visit to Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province, Li emphasized the need to stay super alert 🕵️♂️ and gear up for flood control and disaster relief efforts.
He checked out a hydrologic station where the mighty Yangtze River meets Poyang Lake. There, he highlighted how crucial accurate forecasts and early warnings are in preventing disasters. 📡
Li didn't stop there! He inspected the reinforcement of the Yangtze River levee and made sure there's enough flood-control materials stocked up. Talking to local emergency teams, he stressed the importance of keeping a close eye on embankments during harsh weather and being ready with all the necessary gear. 🛠️
At a landslide-prone spot in Bailu Town, Lushan City, Li urged everyone to prioritize safety, especially when landslides and debris flows are more likely. That means evacuating folks quickly if any danger signs pop up. ⛰️🚨
During a meeting in Bailu, he pointed out that extreme weather is happening more often this year. He called for strict measures to prevent secondary disasters from heavy rain, like checking out weak spots in city drainage systems and boosting flood prevention on farmlands. 🌾🌊
Li also mentioned making the most out of water-conservancy projects for flood control, prepping for any extreme situations, and jumping into action immediately if disasters strike. 💦⚡
