The two departments organized the winter and spring relief work for disaster-stricken people across the country in 2026-2027

China News Service, October 9. According to the website of the Ministry of Emergency Management, since the beginning of this year, my country's natural disaster situation has been complex and severe. There are many disaster-stricken provinces and extreme extremes. Some areas have been hit by repeated disasters and suffered serious losses. The Ministry of Emergency Management and the Ministry of Finance recently issued the "Notice on Organizing and Carrying out Winter and Spring Relief Work for Disaster-Affected People across the Country in 2026-2027", organizing various localities to comprehensively identify those in need of assistance, implement detailed relief measures, promptly deliver the care and warmth of the party and the government to the disaster-stricken people, and effectively guarantee the basic lives of the disaster-stricken people.

The "Notice" emphasizes that winter and spring relief is an important measure to relieve people's worries, benefit people's livelihood, and warm people's hearts. All localities must improve their ideological understanding and political stance, and regard ensuring that the affected people have a safe and warm winter as an important political task and resolutely implement it. It is necessary to deploy and carry out surveys in advance, refine work plans and measures, mobilize extensive publicity, conduct in-depth and detailed surveys of the relief needs of the affected people, and fully grasp the bottom line.

The "Notice" proposes that the rescue targets should be accurately and standardizedly determined, and all people who have suffered temporary living difficulties due to disasters should be included in the scope of rescue, so as to ensure that all those who need to be rescued are rescued, and no household or person is left behind. In accordance with the principle of "categorized assistance, key assistance, and precise assistance", we will refine the standards for graded assistance, provide key assistance to groups with special difficulties affected by disasters, and make an orderly connection between winter and spring assistance, subsistence allowances, temporary assistance and other policies to form a synergy of assistance and assistance.

The "Notice" requires that the main responsibilities should be consolidated, the central and local relief funds and materials should be coordinated and used, and the dispatch should be continuously followed up to ensure that all relief funds are distributed to the affected people before the Spring Festival. It is necessary to strictly observe the disciplines in the management and use of winter and spring relief funds and materials, actively accept supervision, prevent the interception, misappropriation and accumulation of funds, and prevent phenomena such as "abusing power for personal gain" and "preferring relatives and friends". It is necessary to do a good job in policy interpretation, address the urgent needs and worries of the disaster-stricken people with heart and soul, and ensure the peace of mind and social stability in the disaster area.
