Strengthen inspection work on dike routes, strictly carry out patrolling and guarding work to protect dikes during the rainy and flood season, promptly detect and handle incidents and situations that may occur right from the first hour. Prepare human resources, materials, vehicles and equipment to protect dikes according to the "4 on-site" motto, ensuring safety for dikes.
