On July 31, Beijing held a press conference on flood control and disaster relief. Yu Weiguo, secretary of the Miyun District Party Committee, explained that before the flood season, according to the work plan, according to the weather warning situation, people on the insurance village statistics accounts were transferred to safe haven in advance. A total of more than 16,000 people from 205 villages in 20 towns and streets were transferred throughout the district. “For a long time, the central area of the town where the Taishitun Town Elderly Care Center is located has been safe, and the plan did not include it in the scope of the transfer. This shows that our plans are flawed, and our understanding of extreme weather is insufficient.” Yu Weiguo said that the painful lessons have alerted us. Adhering to “people first, life first” is not a slogan; it should be implemented steadily into measures.
