The Ministry of Emergency Management has conscientiously organized and done a good job in providing winter and spring relief to the disaster-stricken masses, mainly doing the following work:

The first is to make timely arrangements for the rescue work in winter and spring. In September last year, the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with the Ministry of Finance, issued a notice to arrange for various localities to carry out winter and spring rescue surveys and statistical assessments.

On the basis of finding out the approved bottom number of the national winter and spring relief needs, the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with the Ministry of Finance, allocated 5.198 billion yuan of central winter and spring disaster relief funds, especially for the northern flood-stricken areas, the "three districts and three states" and other former deeply impoverished areas and the low-temperature rain, snow and ice disaster-stricken areas after winter, increased financial support.

The third is to supervise the distribution of disaster relief funds and materials. More than 10 working groups have been sent to Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Guangxi, Sichuan and other seriously affected areas to investigate and supervise the distribution of funds and materials.
