新华社北京/河北保定11月10日电 中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平10日在北京、河北考察灾后恢复重建工作时强调，各级党委和政府、各有关方面要认真贯彻落实党中央决策部署，再接再厉抓好灾后恢复重建，确保广大人民群众安居乐业、温暖过冬。要始终坚持以人民为中心，坚持系统观念，坚持求真务实、科学规划、合理布局，抓紧补短板、强弱项，加快完善防洪工程体系、应急管理体系，不断提升防灾减灾救灾能力。

今年7月底8月初，华北、黄淮等地出现极端降雨，引发洪涝和地质灾害，造成北京、河北等地重大人员伤亡。习近平一直牵挂着受灾群众，高度重视防汛抗洪救灾和灾后恢复重建工作，多次作出重要指示批示，要求有关地方和部门全力保障人民群众生命财产安全，尽快恢复灾区正常生产生活秩序。9月上旬，习近平前往黑龙江尚志市看望慰问受灾群众。北方入冬之际，习近平又来到北京、河北受灾较重的相关地区，看望慰问受灾群众，检查指导灾后恢复重建工作。

11月10日，习近平在中共中央政治局委员、北京市委书记尹力和市长殷勇，河北省委书记倪岳峰和省长王正谱分别陪同下，先后来到门头沟、保定等地，实地了解灾后恢复重建情况。

永定河三家店引水枢纽是永定河官厅山峡段控制性工程。10日上午，习近平来到这里，听取北京市水系、永定河修复治理、拦河闸运行等情况汇报，了解灾后恢复重建进展。习近平指出，门头沟、房山等山区地带山高谷深，连续强降雨容易造成特大山洪，是北京防汛抗洪的重点区域。既要建好用好水库等控制性工程，也要完善山区道路、房屋等建筑物的防洪标准，切实提高防汛抗洪能力。要立足北京水系特点、总结历史经验，针对突出问题和薄弱环节，按照“上蓄、中疏、下排、有效治洪”的原则，抓紧修复水毁设施，加强重点水利工程建设，为保障首都防洪安全提供有力支撑。

随后，习近平乘车来到妙峰山民族学校。今年汛期，这里作为临时避灾场所和防汛抗洪救灾人员驻地。习近平走进一间教室，孩子们正在老师的带领下开主题班会。大家争着向习爷爷展示自己以抗洪救灾为主题的手工制品，并汇报自己在洪灾面前的经历和感受，习近平听后很高兴。他说，保证受灾学生都能按时开学返校，是党中央对灾后恢复重建提出的明确要求。经过各方面共同努力，所有灾区学校都按时开学了，看到孩子们幸福的笑容，很踏实很欣慰。你们学校在这次防汛抗洪中成功避险，而且很好发挥了“安全岛”作用，要用好这一生动教材，开展安全教育，提升孩子们的安全意识和避险能力。这次抗洪救灾孩子们会终生难忘，要让他们学会感恩、立下志向，做社会主义事业的建设者和接班人。

在村民李盟家，习近平详细询问房屋受损、修缮支出、取暖等情况。习近平表示，确保受灾群众安全温暖过冬是一项硬任务。北方冬季长，山里冬天尤其冷，取暖工作务必落实落细，做到每家每户。对已经完成房屋修缮加固或重建、具备入住条件的受灾户，要指导帮助他们落实冬季取暖。对尚未完成房屋重建的受灾户，要通过投亲靠友、租房、政府安置等方式，确保他们温暖过冬。

离开村子时，当地群众热情欢送总书记。习近平对大家说，我心里一直惦念着灾区的人民群众。共产党是为人民服务的党，永远把老百姓放在心中最高位置，无论是抢险救灾还是灾后恢复重建，都会全力以赴。希望乡亲们坚定信心，努力把家园建设得更加美好。

BEIJING/BAODING, Hebei, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday visited the areas affected by floods this summer in Beijing and Hebei Province.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, called for continuous efforts in post-flood reconstruction to ensure that local people could lead comfortable lives and spend a warm winter.

Xi stressed upholding a people-centered approach and called for redoubled efforts to address safety loopholes and strengthen weak links.

He urged accelerated progress in improving the systems of flood prevention projects and emergency management, and continuous enhancement of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities.

In late July and early August, Beijing, Hebei, and several other parts of China were hit by floods and geological disasters caused by extreme rainfall, resulting in heavy casualties.

Xi has always been concerned about flood-affected people and has instructed relevant authorities multiple times to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, as well as to restore normalcy in work and life in disaster-hit regions.

In early September, Xi visited flood-affected villagers in Shangzhi City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. As winter approaches in northern China, Xi visited flood-hit residents in Beijing and Hebei and inspected post-disaster reconstruction work.

On Friday morning, Xi inspected a water diversion project on the Yongding River in Beijing's Mentougou District. He pointed out that mountainous areas in districts such as Mentougou and Fangshan are key areas in the city's flood control efforts.

Relevant efforts should focus on both building reservoirs and other infrastructure, making good use of them, and improving the flood-resistant standards of roads and houses in the mountainous areas, he added.

Xi then visited a school that served as a temporary shelter and residence for disaster control and relief workers during the flood season. He walked into a classroom where students shared their experiences and feelings when facing the disaster.

Through the joint efforts of all parties, all schools in disaster-hit regions managed to reopen on schedule, Xi said, adding that it was reassuring and gratifying to see the students' smiling faces.

He urged the school to carry out safety education to enhance students' safety awareness and emergency response abilities.

On the school playground, Xi expressed condolences to the family members of those who sacrificed their lives for public service during the floods and extended his regards to representatives of those who participated in flood prevention and disaster relief, including grassroots Party members and officials, firefighters, emergency rescue personnel, and volunteers.

The fallen heroes should always be remembered, their heroic deeds should be promoted, and their bereaved families should be well-supported, Xi said.

Xi then visited the village of Shuiyuzui to learn about infrastructure restoration and improvement efforts.

At the home of villager Li Meng, Xi asked detailed questions about house damage, repair expenditure, heating conditions, and others.

Noting that the winter season is long in northern China, and it is particularly cold in the mountainous areas, Xi stressed that heating must be ensured in each household to keep the residents warm in winter.

When leaving the village, Xi told the residents that he is concerned about people in the flood-affected areas. The CPC is a party that serves the people and always puts the people above everything else, and the party will do its utmost in disaster relief as well as post-disaster reconstruction, he said.

In the city of Zhuozhou, which was hit by extreme floods, the normal order of production and life has been resumed. On Friday afternoon, Xi visited an urban residential community there and called for all sorts of measures to help the affected residents, enterprises, and businesses overcome the difficulties.

Disaster prevention and mitigation should be well studied and planned in urban restoration and reconstruction, flood channels and flood discharge and detention areas should be in place, and infrastructure such as the drainage network should be updated, according to Xi.

He then visited resident Dong Caiying's home and extended greetings. In response to Xi's inquiries about the conditions of her home, Dong said that, as cleaning and renovation were completed, she had already returned to live in the apartment.

Xi noted that the top priority in post-disaster restoration and reconstruction in urban areas is the resumption of people's everyday life, urging joint efforts from both professionals and volunteers.

Upon leaving the community, Xi told residents that when the severe disaster struck Zhuozhou, he closely followed the situation every day and was worried about the locals.

Xi said he was reassured seeing today that municipal public service facilities have resumed operation and people's lives have returned to normal.

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, people will surely embrace better lives as long as they work as one, Xi said, calling on primary-level Party organizations and officials to play their part in post-disaster restoration and reconstruction.

During his visit to Wanquanzhuang Village, where all 311 households were impacted by the floods this year, Xi walked into construction sites for house rebuilding and visited the renovated house of villager Yang Peiran.

At Yang's home, Xi learned about the family's income, renovation expenses, and the recovery of their production.

The repair and reinforcement of the houses have been basically completed, but reconstruction remains the most challenging task, Xi said, urging Party committees and governments at various levels to pay special attention to and offer appropriate resettlement to those facing housing difficulties.

When bidding farewell to the villagers, Xi extended his sympathy to them over their losses and assured them that a range of measures are being taken to advance post-flood recovery and reconstruction.

Xi then walked into a nearby farmland to inspect the growth of crops.

Agriculture bears on the country's food security, Xi said, calling for continued efforts to restore the destroyed farmland and agricultural facilities and strive for a good harvest next year.

When inspecting the flood control project along a local river, Xi stressed advancing the development of the flood prevention project system in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

All parties involved in this summer's flood relief campaigns jointly forged a strong defense against the natural disaster and protected the homeland, fully showcasing the political strength of the Party and the country, he said.

In the face of the once-in-a-century floods, China's effective responses have minimized the damages, Xi said.

The central government recently decided to issue an additional 1 trillion yuan (about 139.3 billion U.S. dollars) in government bonds to support reconstruction projects and disaster-response capacity building, he said, stressing efforts to make these projects people-centered, excellent in quality, and integrity-based.

Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, accompanied Xi on the inspection tour. ■
