Since the flood season, many places in China have suffered from continuous heavy rainfall and severe floods, and the flood situation has continued to develop. In the year of decisive battle against poverty, has the basic livelihood of the affected people been settled? What measures have been introduced by various localities and departments to ensure the recovery and development of poverty alleviation industries? What should I do if I return to poverty due to disasters? In response to these hot issues of social concern, the reporter recently visited the disaster-stricken areas and relevant departments.

Is the basic livelihood of the affected people settled?

Since July, many places in China have suffered from continuous heavy rainfall and serious floods. As of the 28th, 54.811 million people in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei were affected by floods, and 3.76 million people were resettled.

In the centralized resettlement site for the reconstruction of a primary school in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province, the affected people in Gui Hu Village near Wengui Road in Poyang County were resettled. A few days ago, the reporter walked into the resettlement site and saw that the classroom had been sterilized and equipped with mineral water, instant noodles, mats, moisture-proof mats, toiletries and medicines. The local cadres prepared lunch boxes for the resettlement people, including two meats, one vegetable and one soup.

Recently, the National Defense General and the Emergency Management Department held a meeting to ask for strengthening the security guard of Zhuangtai dam, ensuring the safety of housing, electricity, fire and gas at the resettlement sites, and doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

In many resettlement sites across the country, the basic livelihood of the affected people has been settled, and the two "dams" of flood control and epidemic prevention have been adhered to in many places.

Don’t miss a household, don’t leave a person-

In Anhui, from the banks of the Yangtze River to the mountainous areas in southern Anhui, and from Dabie Mountain to the areas along the Huaihe River, as of July 27th, 464 resettlement sites have been set up, with 39,633 people staying, and basic daily necessities such as food, clothing and shelter are guaranteed by the government to ensure that no one affected by the disaster is displaced.

Ensure that the epidemic will not be spread by gathering-

In Hubei, when setting up centralized resettlement sites in many places, schools and other places with good sanitary conditions should be selected as far as possible, and the information closed-loop management jointly constructed by community (village) cadres, disaster relief teams, roving medical teams and fever clinics of medical institutions should be established to strictly screen and quickly dispose of them.

Open a leisure room to provide psychological counseling-

In Jiangxi, in addition to ensuring basic living, medical emergency teams at resettlement sites also provide professional psychological counseling, organize calisthenics, dance square dances, etc., so as to relieve the anxiety and anxiety of the affected people as much as possible.

How to restore the poverty alleviation industry?

Jiulong town, yugan county, Jiangxi Province, is located at the end of Poyang Lake. Affected by the disaster, 12,000 mu of farmland was flooded, making it a severely affected area.

Wan Kuai, a 43-year-old villager from Min ‘an Village, Jiulong Town, raised funds to breed crayfish and plant rice after taking off his hat in 2018. "Crayfish could have been listed at the end of August, but all the water ran away." Wan Gaoxing said that he recently went to the fields every day to find ways to reduce losses. "After the water recedes, we must pay close attention to planting late rice and continue to develop aquaculture, and we must try our best to save ourselves."

Luo Guosheng, deputy director of the yugan county Poverty Alleviation Office, said that the flood disaster involved 269 poverty-stricken villages, and the poverty alleviation industry suffered losses of more than 20 million yuan.

"We have bought poverty alleviation industrial insurance for poor households since 2017. At present, we are counting the industrial disasters, actively docking underwriting institutions, and doing a good job in post-disaster claims." Luo Guosheng said that it is necessary to ensure that the people in the disaster areas can resume normal production and life as soon as possible.

According to the statistics of the Emergency Management Department, as of July 28th, the flood disaster has caused 5,283.3 thousand hectares of crops in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei, with direct economic losses of 144.43 billion yuan.

Poverty alleviation industry is a solid foundation for stabilizing poverty alleviation. In order to help the poor people to resume the development of poverty alleviation industries as soon as possible, many departments have taken active actions to deploy.

The State Council Poverty Alleviation Office issued policies to help poor people to help themselves in production, replant crops in time, develop "short-term and quick" planting and breeding projects, help to carry out agricultural insurance claims, and minimize the impact of disasters on poor people’s production.

The Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Management Department have successively allocated 935 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds to Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other provinces.

As of July 10th, China Development Bank has issued the first batch of emergency loans of 1.02 billion yuan to Xuancheng, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and Huangshan, which are severely affected by the disaster in Anhui, for emergency maintenance of infrastructure damaged by the disaster, relocation of the affected people and purchase and allocation of relief materials.

The National Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department, together with the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, have allocated 8 batches of central flood control materials to Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other provinces to do everything possible to ensure the basic livelihood of the affected people.

What should I do if I return to poverty and become poor?

"yugan county has purchased the liability insurance for returning to poverty for all the people out of poverty, and the insurance for preventing poverty for the rural marginal population, and issued an early warning of the risk of returning to poverty due to disasters. The villages will summarize and report it to the townships for review, and the county poverty alleviation office will verify it. The insurance institutions will conduct surveys and claims, and make every effort to prevent poverty from returning to poverty due to disasters." Luo Guosheng said.

In the investigation, the reporter found that in the disaster dispatch, all localities focused on poor households and marginal households with weak ability to resist disasters and risks, and timely included assistance through monitoring and early warning to ensure that no one was missed and no one was left behind, and they were rescued at the first time.

In an effort to overcome the impact of geological disasters such as floods on poverty alleviation, the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office explicitly included timely monitoring and assistance for poverty caused by geological disasters caused by floods, and at the same time introduced a series of measures to prevent people from returning to poverty.

-Properly arrange new jobs to promote employment nearby and prevent disasters from causing the income of some poor people to drop sharply. The "returning" poor laborers will be included in the monitoring and assistance in a timely manner, and the poor laborers who go out to work will be well employed to prevent the "returning" from returning home due to disasters and epidemics. For the poor laborers who have "returned", actively help them solve their difficulties and encourage them to go out to work again to increase their income.

—— Timely monitoring and helping the poor products that are "difficult to sell", solidly promoting the action of poverty alleviation through consumption, and vigorously supporting the poor people to increase their income and get rid of poverty through developing industries.

-Give full play to the role of the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent poverty, timely record the eligible people who have returned to poverty due to disasters, epidemics, diseases and disabilities into the monitoring system, and implement the comprehensive security policy for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Many departments acted immediately after the disaster occurred, and introduced measures to focus on protecting special personnel and marginal population to ensure that there was no poverty caused by the disaster.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs requires all localities to pay relief funds in full and on time, so as to effectively guarantee the basic livelihood of people suffering from disasters and prevent them from returning to poverty due to disasters. In view of the special groups such as scattered support for poor people, scattered orphans, left-behind elderly people, left-behind children, children in distress and disabled people, all localities are required to take timely measures such as giving social assistance and referring them to relevant departments to solve their practical difficulties.

The National Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department have made it clear that they should provide assistance and support to poor areas, people suffering from disasters and severely affected households, and effectively prevent poverty from returning to poverty due to disasters.

According to the monitoring of the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, the current disaster situation mainly leads to the damage of infrastructure such as houses, transportation and drinking water safety projects in poverty-stricken areas. In terms of poverty caused by geological disasters caused by floods, the affected provinces have taken timely measures to overcome the impact of the disaster on the production and life of poor people. At present, most provinces have not experienced poverty caused by disasters, and some provinces have been included in the assistance in time.

The relevant person in charge of the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office said, comprehensively investigate the hidden dangers of infrastructure, speed up the maintenance and reconstruction of poverty alleviation projects such as damaged houses, roads and water conservancy projects, ensure the safety of housing and drinking water for poor people, and timely prevent and resolve the risk of returning to poverty due to geological disasters such as floods. For those who may return to poverty, it is found that one household monitors one household to help another. (Participating in writing: Li Jiaying, Cheng Shihua, Jiang Gang)
