SHIJIAZHUANG, March 31 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing on Tuesday stressed the need to strengthen the capacity of national regional emergency response centers and enhance their practical rescue capabilities to more effectively protect the safety of people's lives and property.
Zhang Guoqing, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the call during an inspection of the national regional emergency response center in Hebei Province, North China.
During his inspection of the center in Zhangjiakou, the Vice Premier visited facilities including a training ground and a warehouse for emergency equipment and supplies. He learned about the training process for fire and rescue units, the use of training facilities, the storage and deployment of supplies and equipment, and the center's management organization.
Zhang Guoqing called for focusing on the needs of rescue operations during large-scale regional natural disasters, strengthening emergency response and disaster relief, enhancing the capacity for multi-dimensional delivery of rescue forces and modular storage of supplies, ensuring rapid deployment from nearby bases, rapid action, and arrival at the disaster area as soon as possible to carry out rescue operations.
The Vice Premier also called for strengthening the training of professional forces to combat floods, conduct search and rescue operations during earthquakes, and extinguish forest fires, accelerating the provision of such advanced equipment as air rescue equipment, and enhancing emergency response capabilities in extreme conditions and complex scenarios such as disruptions to road transport, internet outages, and power outages.
Recalling the approaching national holiday for the Qingming Festival (All Souls' Day), Zhang Guoqing emphasized that all regions need to further thoroughly implement measures to ensure industrial safety and fire protection, strengthen security measures in crowded areas, and specifically strengthen supervision and management in high-risk areas for forest and steppe fires, making every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
