The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued a flood-control notice requiring intensified, dynamic inspections of key infrastructure risks—targeting transport hazards (steep slopes, high fills, sharp bends, waterside sections) and urban lifeline weak points such as low-lying pump stations, underground utility networks and ageing pipelines. Authorities must strengthen operational monitoring and early warning, increase patrol frequency during critical periods to detect and warn on hazard signals, and tighten flood-safety management for major projects including the South-to-North Water Diversion and West–East gas transmission to secure both operational and under-construction infrastructure through the flood season.
