Since August, natural resources departments in various parts of Xinjiang have focused on the risk of geological disasters in response to the actual increase in precipitation, established bottom-line thinking and risk awareness, and taken measures to actively respond and strengthen prevention to maximize the safety of people's lives and property.
In mid-August, the Natural Resources Bureau of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture took the initiative to consult with meteorological, water conservancy, transportation and other departments at the same level to comprehensively assess the risks of geological disasters; jointly issued geological disaster meteorological risk warnings with meteorological departments, and deployed geological disaster prevention and control work. Organize forces to supervise counties (cities) with high geological disaster risks, conduct on-site inspections of landslides and mud-rock flows in tourist attractions, along transportation routes, and areas with frequent rainfall, and spot check the implementation of measures to prevent sudden geological disasters.
The Natural Resources Bureau of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture held a video dispatch meeting on geological disaster prevention and control in late August to re-arrange and re-deploy the recent geological disaster prevention and control work, and required the natural resources departments of all counties (cities) to strengthen the inspection and investigation of key areas and key periods, and promptly investigate and resolve the geological disaster risk hazards within their jurisdiction. Relying on geological disaster monitoring and early warning equipment, 320 geological disaster risk points in the prefecture are monitored, and group monitoring and group prevention personnel are organized to carry out daily inspections of geological disaster risk areas.
Located in Baiyanggou Town, Wusu City, in the south of Tacheng Prefecture, geological disasters are prevalent. On August 23, the Natural Resources Bureau of Tacheng Prefecture organized a geological disaster avoidance drill and publicity activity in Baiyanggou Town, simulating a sudden rainstorm causing a landslide. After the alarm sounded, the staff quickly organized and guided the villagers to evacuate the dangerous area, and carried out disaster reporting work, and the drill achieved the expected goal. Afterwards, the staff explained to the villagers the types, causes, early warning signals and risk avoidance measures of geological disasters, and improved the villagers' level of awareness of geological disasters and emergency risk avoidance capabilities.
