The State Council's decision on strengthening the prevention and control of geological disasters

People's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions and institutions directly under the State Council:

China is one of the countries with the most serious geological disasters and the most threatened population in the world, with complex geological conditions and frequent tectonic activities. There are many hidden dangers such as collapse, landslide, debris flow, land subsidence and ground fissures. It is widely distributed, concealed, sudden and destructive, and it is hard to prevent. Especially in recent years, influenced by extreme weather, earthquakes, engineering construction and other factors, geological disasters occur frequently, causing serious losses to people's lives and property. In order to further strengthen the prevention and control of geological disasters, the following decisions are made.

I. Guiding ideology, basic principles and work objectives

(1) guiding ideology. Fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third, Fourth and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the Seventeenth Central Committee, take Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents as the guidance, fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, integrate the concept of "people-oriented" into all aspects of geological disaster prevention and control, take the protection of people's lives and property as the foundation, establish and improve the geological disaster investigation and evaluation system, monitoring and early warning system, prevention and control system and emergency system as the core, strengthen the awareness and ability of geological disaster prevention and control in the whole society, make scientific planning and highlight key points.

(2) Basic principles. Adhere to territorial management and graded responsibility, clarify the main responsibility of local governments to prevent and control geological disasters, and ensure government organization and leadership, division of labor and cooperation among departments, and participation of the whole society; Adhere to prevention first, combine prevention with control, scientifically use monitoring and early warning, relocation and avoidance, project management and other means to effectively avoid disaster risks; Adhere to the combination of special groups, group monitoring and prevention, give full play to the role of professional monitoring institutions, and rely on the broad masses of grassroots to do a good job in geological disaster prevention and control; Adhere to who causes the disease and who controls it, clarify the units responsible for disaster prevention and earnestly implement the responsibility for prevention and control of the hidden dangers of geological disasters caused by engineering construction; Adhere to overall planning and comprehensive management, while strengthening the prevention and control of geological disasters, coordinate and promote the prevention and control of other disasters such as mountain torrents and ecological environment management.

(3) Work objectives. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the task of disaster investigation in key prevention and control areas of geological disasters will be completed, and the basic situation of hidden dangers of geological disasters will be fully understood; Basically complete the project management or relocation and avoidance of major geological hazards in the Three Gorges reservoir area, Wenchuan and Yushu earthquake-stricken areas and geological hazard-prone areas; For other hidden danger points, actively carry out monitoring and early warning in combination with special groups, timely monitor and effectively deal with disasters and dangers. By 2020, a sound geological disaster investigation and evaluation system, monitoring and early warning system, prevention system and emergency system will be established to basically eliminate the threat of hidden dangers of extraordinarily serious geological disasters, so as to significantly reduce casualties and property losses caused by disasters.

The second is to comprehensively carry out hidden danger investigation and dynamic inspection.

(4) Strengthen investigation and evaluation. We will comprehensively carry out the investigation and evaluation of geological disasters of mountain torrents nationwide with counties as units, focusing on improving the investigation of Wenchuan, Yushu earthquake-stricken areas, Three Gorges reservoir areas, southwest mountainous areas, northwest loess areas, southeast coastal areas and other areas, and increasing the assessment of geological disasters around densely populated areas and important military and civilian facilities. The results of investigation and evaluation shall be submitted to the local people's governments at or above the county level in a timely manner as the basic basis for disaster prevention and control.

(5) Strengthen key exploration. For towns, schools, hospitals, markets, villages, military camps and other major hidden dangers that may threaten densely populated areas and drinking water sources. With strong concealment and complex geological conditions, it is necessary to organize forces to conduct detailed exploration, find out the causes and harm degree of disasters, master the law of their development and change, and formulate and implement monitoring and prevention measures point by point.

(6) Carry out dynamic inspections. People's governments at the county level in areas prone to geological disasters shall establish and improve the hidden danger investigation system, regularly organize inspections of hidden danger points of geological disasters in the region, conduct annual pre-flood investigation, in-flood inspection and post-flood verification of key prevention and control areas, eliminate hidden dangers in time, and timely announce the investigation results and disaster prevention responsibility units to the society. Provincial and municipal people's governments and relevant departments should strengthen supervision and guidance on the investigation of hidden dangers of people's governments at the county level, and timely organize professional departments to conduct on-site verification and confirmation of hidden dangers that are difficult to determine at the grassroots level.

Third, strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning.

(7) Improve the monitoring and forecasting network. All regions should speed up the construction of a joint monitoring and early warning information sharing platform for land, meteorology, water conservancy and other departments, and establish a forecasting consultation and early warning linkage mechanism. For towns, villages, schools, hospitals and other enterprises and institutions, it is necessary to deploy professional monitoring equipment such as meteorology, hydrology and geological disasters in mountainous and canyon areas where landslides, flash floods and mudslides are prone to occur in the upper reaches of densely populated areas, and strengthen monitoring and forecasting to ensure timely detection of dangerous situations and timely warning.

(eight) to strengthen the construction of early warning information release means. Further improve the national public emergency early warning information release system, establish a national emergency broadcasting system, and make full use of various media and means such as radio, television, internet, mobile phone text messages, telephones, propaganda vehicles, electronic display screens, etc. to release geological disaster early warning information in a timely manner. Focus on strengthening the construction of emergency early warning information dissemination means in rural mountainous areas and other remote areas, and use cable broadcasting, tweeters, gongs and drums whistle, door-to-door notification and other means according to local conditions to timely transmit disaster early warning information to threatened people.

(9) Improve the level of prevention and treatment. The people's governments at the county and township levels in areas prone to geological disasters should strengthen the organization and leadership of group monitoring and prevention, and improve the group monitoring and prevention team with village cadres and key personnel as the main body. Guide and encourage grassroots communities and villagers' groups to set up joint prevention, control and mutual assistance organizations for geological disasters. Give appropriate financial subsidies to the prevention and treatment personnel and equip them with simple and practical monitoring and early warning equipment. Organize relevant departments and professional and technical personnel to strengthen the training of disaster prevention knowledge and skills for group monitoring and prevention personnel, and constantly enhance their ability to identify and report disasters, monitor and warn and avoid risks in the face of disasters.

Fourth, effectively avoid disaster risks.

(ten) strict geological disaster risk assessment. When engineering construction is carried out in areas prone to geological disasters, the risk assessment of geological disasters should be carried out in strict accordance with the regulations to prevent human activities from inducing geological disasters. Strengthen ecological protection and supervision in resource development, and carry out ecological environment monitoring and evaluation in disaster-prone areas. All regions and relevant departments should strengthen the risk assessment of geological disasters in the planning area, reasonably determine the site selection and layout of the project, and effectively avoid dangerous areas when preparing the overall urban planning, village and market town planning and special infrastructure planning.

(11) organize disaster avoidance quickly and orderly. The people's governments at the county level shall delimit the danger zones of geological disasters in time, announce them to the public, and set up obvious warning signs in areas and lots where the precursors of disasters may cause casualties and heavy property losses; It is necessary to organize the formulation of disaster prevention and avoidance plans, and clarify the person responsible for disaster prevention, early warning signals, evacuation routes and temporary resettlement places. In case of severe weather and earthquake disasters such as typhoon and heavy rainfall, it is necessary to organize forces to closely monitor the development and changes of hidden dangers. In case of emergency, the local people's government and grass-roots organizations for mass prevention and control should quickly start disaster prevention and avoidance schemes, organize the safe transfer of the masses in a timely and orderly manner, and set up warning signs in situ to avoid casualties caused by personnel entering. Before arranging the temporary transfer of people to return to their original places of residence, it is necessary to carry out safety assessment of hidden dangers of disasters and implement preventive measures such as monitoring and early warning.

(12) Accelerate the implementation of relocation and avoidance. Local people's governments at all levels should organically combine the prevention and control of geological disasters with poverty alleviation and development, ecological migration, new rural construction, small town construction and land improvement. , co-ordinate arrangements for funds, in a planned and step-by-step manner to speed up the relocation of people in geological hazard areas, giving priority to the relocation of people around geological hazard points with high degree of harm and great difficulty in governance. It is necessary to strengthen the site selection evaluation of the relocation site, ensure that the new site is not threatened by geological disasters, and provide long-term production and living conditions for the relocated people.

V. Comprehensive prevention and control measures

(thirteen) to carry out scientific project management. For the hidden danger points of geological disasters that are difficult to move and avoid for a while, all regions should speed up project management, give full play to the role of experts and professional teams, scientifically design and carefully construct, ensure the engineering quality and improve the efficiency of capital use. Land and resources, development and reform, finance and other relevant departments at all levels should strengthen the support, guidance and supervision of engineering governance projects.

(fourteen) to speed up the prevention and control of geological disasters in earthquake-stricken areas and the Three Gorges reservoir area. In view of the serious damage caused by Wenchuan, Yushu and other earthquakes to the geological environment in the disaster areas, on the basis of comprehensive investigation and evaluation of geological disasters in the earthquake-stricken areas, we should promptly compile and implement special plans for the prevention and control of geological disasters, closely monitor major hidden dangers, and take timely preventive measures such as relocation and avoidance, and engineering management to prevent heavy casualties and property losses. Organize and implement the prevention and control of geological disasters in the Three Gorges reservoir area, properly solve the problems left over from the prevention and control of geological disasters in the second and third phases, and focus on strengthening the monitoring, early warning and emergency response of landslides and collapses caused by water level fluctuations.

(fifteen) to strengthen the prevention and control of geological disasters around important facilities. Relevant departments and enterprises should take timely preventive measures to ensure the safety of major geological disasters around important facilities such as traffic trunk lines, water conservancy hubs, power transmission and transformation facilities and oil (gas) transmission facilities and military facilities. After evaluation and demonstration, the construction unit must implement the geological disaster prevention and control project at the same time as the main project construction. All construction enterprises should strengthen the monitoring and early warning of geological disasters around the construction site, formulate disaster prevention plans, and effectively ensure the safety of projects under construction and construction personnel.

(sixteen) actively carry out comprehensive management. All regions should organize land and resources, development and reform, finance, environmental protection, water conservancy, agriculture, safety supervision, forestry, meteorology and other relevant departments, coordinate all resources to do a good job in the prevention and control of geological disasters, the restoration of mine geological environment, soil and water conservation, the prevention and control of mountain torrents, the management of small and medium-sized rivers, the reinforcement of dangerous reservoirs, the management of hidden dangers in tailings ponds, and the management of ecological environment in prone areas, so as to effectively improve the comprehensive management level of geological disasters. It is necessary to formulate and implement relevant plans, rationally arrange non-engineering measures and engineering measures, and appropriately improve the standards for prevention and control of geological disasters in mountainous villages and towns.

(seventeen) to establish and improve the prevention and control mechanism of ground subsidence, subsidence and ground fissures. Establish a joint responsibility system for the prevention and control of land subsidence by relevant departments and local governments, improve the monitoring network of land subsidence in key areas, implement joint prevention and control of land subsidence and groundwater exploitation, focus on strengthening the management of groundwater exploitation in the Yangtze River Delta, North China and Wei Fen, reasonably implement measures to prohibit and restrict groundwater exploitation and artificial recharge, and establish a demonstration area for land subsidence prevention and control to curb the further aggravation of land subsidence and ground fissures. On the basis of in-depth investigation, the prone areas and dangerous areas of land subsidence are delineated and protective measures are strengthened. Formulate measures for the management of underground engineering activities and underground space, and strictly examine and approve procedures to prevent disasters such as ground subsidence, collapse and ground fissures caused by improper use of underground engineering construction such as mineral exploitation and groundwater extraction.

Sixth, strengthen emergency rescue work.

(eighteen) to improve the emergency ability of geological disasters. Local people's governments at all levels should strengthen the construction of emergency rescue system in combination with the actual prevention and control of geological disasters, speed up the establishment of emergency rescue teams combining special groups, and equip them with necessary transportation, communication and professional equipment to form an efficient emergency working mechanism. Further revise and improve the emergency plan for sudden geological disasters and formulate strict and scientific emergency work flow. We will build and improve emergency shelters, strengthen the necessary reserves of living materials and medical materials, organize regular drills of emergency plans, and improve the coordination and emergency response capabilities of all parties concerned.

(nineteen) to strengthen the prevention and control of geological disasters at the grassroots level. Geological disaster-prone areas should give full play to the advantages of grassroots people's familiarity with the situation, and vigorously support and promote the construction of emergency capabilities such as monitoring, inspection, early warning and transfer of geological disasters in towns and villages. During the key prevention period of geological disasters, township people's governments and grassroots mass autonomous organizations should strengthen inspections of hidden dangers of geological disasters, arrange special personnel to keep an eye on major hidden dangers that threaten schools, hospitals, villages, markets, enterprises and institutions, and organize at least one emergency avoidance drill before the flood season every year.

(twenty) do a good job in emergency rescue of sudden geological disasters. Local people's governments at all levels should earnestly do a good job in emergency rescue of sudden geological disasters, strengthen comprehensive coordination, and do a good job in personnel search and rescue, disaster investigation, danger analysis, secondary disaster prevention and other emergency disposal work quickly and efficiently. It is necessary to properly arrange the life, medical care and psychological assistance of the affected people and make every effort to maintain social stability in the disaster areas.

Seven, improve the safeguard mechanism.

(twenty-one) improve and implement laws and regulations. Fully implement the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Geological Disasters. Geological disaster prone areas should pay close attention to the formulation and improvement of local supporting laws and regulations, and improve the legal system of geological disaster prevention and control. We will promptly revise the norms and standards of geological disaster investigation and evaluation, risk assessment and risk zoning, monitoring, early warning and emergency response, and improve the technical requirements and procedures of geological disaster control engineering exploration, design, construction, supervision and risk assessment.

(twenty-two) to strengthen the construction of geological disaster prevention team. The people's governments of provinces, cities and counties in areas prone to geological disasters shall establish and improve professional monitoring, emergency management and technical support teams that are suitable for the prevention and control of geological disasters in the region, increase the integration of resources and the guarantee of funds, and ensure the normal development of all work. Support institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutes to increase the training of professional and technical personnel in the prevention and control of geological disasters, and give preferential policies to professional and technical personnel who have been engaged in the prevention and control of geological disasters at the grassroots level for a long time in terms of posts and titles.

(twenty-three) increase capital investment and management.

At the same time, it is necessary to strictly manage funds to ensure that the funds for prevention and control of geological disasters are earmarked. All regions should explore and formulate preferential policies to encourage and attract social funds to invest in the prevention and control of geological disasters.

(twenty-four) actively promote scientific and technological innovation. National and local related science and technology plans (funds and special projects) should increase support for scientific research and technological innovation in the field of geological disaster prevention and control, and strengthen research on disaster mechanism, disaster risk analysis, disaster monitoring and prevention technology, and earthquake impact assessment on geological disasters. Actively adopt advanced technologies such as geographic information, global positioning, satellite communication, remote sensing and telemetry, and explore the use of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things to improve the accuracy and efficiency of geological disaster investigation and evaluation, monitoring and early warning. Encourage the development of key technologies and equipment for early warning of geological disasters and emergency command and rescue, popularize and apply advanced and applicable equipment such as life detection, large-scale excavation and lifting, geophysical exploration drilling and high-power water pumps, and improve emergency rescue and emergency disposal capabilities. Strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and learn from foreign advanced theories and technical methods of geological disaster prevention.

(twenty-five) in-depth publicity and training of popular science education. All regions and relevant departments should widely carry out the publicity and popularization of geological disaster prevention, disaster report, risk avoidance and self-help, and enhance the awareness and self-protection ability of the whole society to prevent geological disasters. Geological disaster prone areas should regularly organize government officials, heads of grassroots organizations and key groups to participate in geological disaster prevention and control knowledge training, and strengthen the knowledge education and skill drills of geological disaster prevention and control for primary and secondary school students; The person in charge of the city, county and township governments should fully grasp the geological disasters in the region and effectively enhance the command ability of disaster prevention and rescue.

Eight. Strengthen organizational leadership and coordination

(twenty-six) to strengthen organizational leadership. Local people's governments at all levels should put the prevention and control of geological disasters on the important agenda and include them in the government performance appraisal. The assessment results are an important part of the comprehensive assessment and evaluation of leading bodies and leading cadres. To strengthen the leadership over the prevention and control of geological disasters, the main responsible persons of local governments should take overall responsibility for the prevention and control of geological disasters in their own areas, establish and improve the responsibility system step by step, and ensure the implementation of prevention and control responsibilities and measures at different levels. Geological disaster prone areas should take the prevention and control of geological disasters as an important part of the conversation between the leaders in charge of the city, county and township governments and the heads of the competent departments, and supervise and inspect the implementation of disaster prevention responsibilities. For dereliction of duty in the prevention and treatment of geological disasters, resulting in inadequate work, resulting in heavy casualties and property losses, it is necessary to seriously investigate the responsibilities of administrative leaders and relevant responsible persons according to laws and regulations.

(27) Strengthen communication and coordination. All relevant departments should carry out their duties, cooperate closely, strengthen communication and information sharing with the PLA and the Armed Police Force, and do a good job in the prevention and control of geological disasters.
