The State Council has released a circular on the decision to conduct the first general survey project on composite natural disaster risks, which lasts from 2020 to 2022, in an effort to beef up national comprehensive capabilities to prevent natural disasters.
The Department of Emergency Management of Hubei Province selected CUG as the technical support provider for the general survey on composite natural disaster risks in Hubei province after investigation, survey, and communication. CUG set up an expert group headed by President WANG Yanxin for the general survey. Since the end of this September, CUG has cooperated with the Department of Emergency Management of Hubei Province to identify short-term tasks and long-term tasks.
On December 17 and 18, over 30 experts from CUG, heads of the Department of Emergency Management, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Water Resources, and other departments and bureaus, and professionals discussed the current situation, tasks, needs, and goals of the general survey.
