Beijing, July 21 (Reporter Li Hongmei) At present, China has entered the critical period of "seven lower and eight upper" flood control, and North China has entered the rainy season. Meteorological monitoring showed that heavy to rainstorm occurred in western Beijing and central Hebei on the night of the 20th, and strong rainfall still occurred in North China during the day of the 21st. At 16:00 on the 20th, the China Meteorological Administration launched the level IV emergency response for rainstorm, strengthened on duty duty, and rolled out the monitoring, forecasting and early warning services for heavy rainfall weather. Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, and other potentially affected provincial meteorological bureaus shall initiate or adjust corresponding emergency response levels based on actual research and judgment.

On July 21, the China Meteorological Administration held a video conference to further deploy meteorological services during the critical flood control period.

The meeting proposed to effectively strengthen the organizational leadership of meteorological services during the critical period of flood prevention. Meteorological departments at all levels should further optimize work processes, improve work efficiency, and concentrate on providing meteorological services during the flood season. The main responsible comrades should serve as frontline commanders, and do a good job in duty keeping, monitoring and early warning, and emergency response work.

Make every effort to monitor, predict, and warn of heavy rainfall. Fully utilize modern monitoring methods such as meteorological satellites and radars, scientifically study and determine the time periods and regions affected by heavy rainfall, strengthen monitoring and capture of extreme heavy rainfall, strengthen the application of meteorological disaster risk prediction products, closely monitor various secondary disasters that may be caused by heavy rainfall, and provide effective support for timely and effective prevention and response measures taken by Party committees and governments at all levels.

Fully leverage the emergency linkage mechanism led by meteorological warning. We will effectively fulfill our responsibilities in guarding the land, fulfill our responsibilities, and strictly follow the standards and procedures of "calling for response". We will promptly initiate early warning and "calling for response", strengthen consultation and linkage with water conservancy, emergency management, natural resources, and other departments at all levels, and play the role of the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and reduction.

Carry out targeted science popularization promotion. Collaborate to carry out the "One Process, One Policy" science popularization planning, actively respond to social concerns, scientifically answer public questions, guide the public to accurately understand the weather situation, scientifically view weather forecasts, and accurately identify weather rumors. Strengthen the popularization of knowledge and skills in risk awareness, prevention and avoidance for the public, and enhance their ability to prevent and respond to meteorological disasters.
