We should improve our political stance, further improve our political judgment, political understanding and political execution, think about what the masses think and worry about, go deep into the grassroots front line, fully listen to the opinions of the masses, do everything possible to solve their urgent problems, and embody our support for "two establishment" and "two maintenance" in doing well the mass work and concentrating our efforts on the practical actions of flood control, emergency rescue and disaster relief.

It is necessary to properly resettle the affected people, implement the special class guarantee service, and ensure that the affected people have food, clothing, temporary shelter, clean water and timely medical treatment. We should do our best to recover after the disaster, grab and drain stagnant water in time, repair roads, power supply, water supply and communication facilities, quickly start the restoration and reconstruction of damaged houses, accelerate the restoration and reconstruction of public facilities such as schools, hospitals and nursing homes, organize environmental disinfection and sanitation and epidemic prevention, and effectively protect the public services of the people in the disaster areas.

It is necessary to give full play to the role of dispatching expert groups to guide and help disaster relief and post-disaster recovery in the affected areas. It is necessary to give full play to the role of grass-roots party organizations as fighting bastions and the vanguard and exemplary role of party member, vigorously publicize the typical deeds and advanced experiences of grassroots cadres and masses in disaster relief, unite as one, work together to overcome the difficulties, and resolutely win the tough battle of flood control and disaster relief.
