The National Week for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control in 2024, held next May, has been chosen with the theme: "Early action - Proactive against natural disasters".
That's right, because of the lack of initiative in the face of natural disasters, many residential areas, families, and vehicle owners have had to pay a very high price, not only in property, but also in life.
At the online conference of the whole province summarizing the work of natural disaster prevention and control (PCTT), search and rescue (TKCN) and civil defense (PTDS) in 2023, deploying tasks in 2024, recently organized by the Provincial People's Committee, heartbreaking figures were reported: 3 people died, property damage value of about 300 billion VND.
Just a few days ago, storms and hail also damaged many areas of crops, greenhouses and net houses in some localities in the province.
In 2023, although the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Disaster Prevention issued 21 telegrams and documents directing all levels and sectors to implement measures that are close to practical requirements. Issue and direct the implementation of projects, plans and solutions for disaster prevention, search and rescue; organize inspections of disaster prevention and control work in districts, towns and cities, especially in localities where major natural disasters frequently occurred, causing heavy damage in previous years... However, the situation of "hot above, cold below" in disaster prevention and control is still a very worrying story.
According to the assessment of the Provincial Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Disaster Prevention, the work of disaster prevention, search and rescue and disaster prevention, awareness of prevention, response and recovery of incidents and natural disasters of cadres and people in some localities is still limited. The plan for disaster prevention, search and rescue is sometimes and in some places still formal; there is still a confused and passive mentality in disaster prevention and response and when incidents occur. Information, propaganda and disaster warning work to people is still limited. The preparation and implementation of the "4 on-site" motto, especially the building of shock forces for disaster prevention and control at the grassroots level in some places is not complete and has not been effective...
Natural disasters are a combination of many types of "enemies" with terrible destructive power, but can be completely mitigated if proactive prevention is taken. The theme of the National Disaster Prevention and Control Week 2024 sets out the requirement of "Early Action - Proactively Responding to Natural Disasters" which is a very clear recommendation on the requirement of improving community capacity, raising the spirit and responsibility of all levels and sectors in disaster prevention and control, and being ahead of natural disasters.
Directing the tasks of PCTT, TKCN and PTDS in 2024, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Minh Tuan also emphasized that Thanh Hoa is one of the key areas of storms, floods and droughts. If there is no focus on leadership and close and effective direction, the consequences will be unpredictable. With the spirit of early action to be proactive in the face of natural disaster risks, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested sectors and localities to identify this as a top political task. Especially localities at risk of flash floods, inundation must focus on reviewing and developing specific and detailed disaster response plans. All subjectivity, negligence and coping must end.
