Fuzhou Municipal Committee requires leading cadres of party member at all levels in the city to learn a profound lesson, draw inferences from others, strengthen the construction of flood control system and mechanism, and strengthen the construction of disaster prevention and relief teams. We should base ourselves on preventing floods, resisting floods, seizing major risks, and improving emergency plans, and we must not be lucky, negligent or slack. The "top leaders" of all regions and units are the first responsible persons in flood control work. They should personally arrange the deployment, command from the front and dispatch the whole process, strengthen supervision and inspection, and ensure that all measures are put in place.
