According to the forecast of the meteorological department, this year's flood season in Shanxi Province is expected to have more precipitation than usual, with frequent mountain floods, geological disasters, and severe convective weather. The flood prevention and safety situation in the province's mines is severe. The Emergency Management Department of Shanxi Province has deployed flood prevention work in the province's mines, requiring emergency management departments at all levels and mining enterprises to strengthen safety precautions during the flood season to fully guarantee the safety of people's lives and property. Mining enterprises must strictly implement their corporate responsibilities, establish sound flood prevention organizational structures, enhance dynamic risk assessment, closely track information on disasters such as heavy rain and floods, and develop targeted control measures. Emergency management departments at the city and county levels must strictly fulfill their regulatory responsibilities, conduct regular inspections, implement targeted protection and monitoring measures for key mining areas and high-risk enterprises, establish a coordination mechanism among all relevant departments, establish a consultation and assessment mechanism with meteorological, water resources, natural resources, and mining supervision departments, strengthen the sharing of information on rainfall, water conditions, flood conditions, and geological disaster risks, and establish a joint defense and control mechanism to coordinate response efforts. Emergency management departments at all levels must conduct inspections and checks in key mining areas and mines through planned law enforcement, special inspections, and hidden visits. Those found to have failed in their responsibilities, inadequate measures, ineffective hazard mitigation, or delayed response to risks will be held accountable in accordance with the law and regulations. Mining enterprises must revise and improve special emergency response plans, optimize and refine warning response, production shutdown and evacuation, emergency rescue procedures and measures, and ensure an adequate supply of emergency materials; strictly implement the disaster warning "call and response" mechanism, tracking feedback mechanism, and information reporting system.
