各地区和有关部门要坚持人民至上、生命至上，统筹做好疫情防控和防汛救灾工作，坚决落实责任制，坚持预防预备和应急处突相结合，加强汛情监测，及时排查风险隐患，有力组织抢险救灾。

We need to put people first, and value people's lives most in the combat against floods. Governments and departments should make overall arrangements concerning the current COVID-19 pandemic prevention measures as well as flood control, clearly identify responsibilities and combine prevention work with emergency responses. Efforts should be made to strengthen monitoring over the flood situation, to identify potential risks in a timely manner, and to well organize rescue and relief work.
