On June 30, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held to discuss work on preventing and combating floods and droughts, chaired by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The meeting noted that China is experiencing frequent extreme weather events during this year's flood season and is facing natural disasters such as floods and droughts. Local regions and relevant authorities must further increase their awareness, establish basic and emergency response plans, pay close attention to the prevention of severe floods, droughts, and typhoons, and take effective measures to prevent and combat floods and other emergency rescue operations.

The meeting emphasized that ensuring the safety of people's lives should be a priority, and that efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of monitoring and forecasting, quickly and decisively organize the evacuation of people in danger, and avoid mass casualties. Furthermore, flood safety must be ensured on major rivers and lakes, and spatial control of river and lake runoff must be comprehensively strengthened, with particular attention paid to the risk of sudden changes between droughts and floods, and unified management and utilization of water resources must be strengthened. The safety of major infrastructure and projects under construction during the flood season must be ensured, risk controls must be strengthened, and the protection of agricultural infrastructure must be enhanced.

Other matters were also discussed at the meeting.
