極端天氣即時啟動最高等級響應

China's top economic planner called for instantly triggering the highest-level emergency response in the face of extreme weather, seeking stepped up protection for key infrastructure in urban areas. Improvements should be made in emergency plans for dealing with the harshest weather conditions and a quick-response mechanism should be established, according to a circular made public on Monday by the National Development and Reform Commission.

7月26日，國家發(fā)展改革委發(fā)布關于加強城市重要基礎設施安全防護工作的緊急通知。通知指出，一旦出現(xiàn)極端天氣等非常情況，要堅決即時啟動最高等級響應。要按照最嚴酷的極端天氣情況完善應急預案，建立第一時間響應機制。

The circular urges meteorological departments to strengthen forecasts and early warning of disasters, including heavy rainfall and typhoons, and release information to the public through multiple channels.

氣象部門要加強對強降雨、臺風等災害預報預警，各相關部門要充分利用各種渠道和方式向社會發(fā)布預警避險信息。

Cities must come up with a detailed list of low-lying areas that are susceptible to flooding, such as tunnels of rail transit systems, roads, railways and underground spaces, before coming up with targeted response measures, the notice said.

對于城市軌道交通、鐵路、公路、市政道路的隧道、涵洞，及公共設施的地下空間等易積水的低洼區(qū)域，要形成城市易澇類風險隱患清單，并制定針對性防控措施。
