The instruction was given i???n?? response to a forest fire in Sichuan Province.
Nineteen people died while battling the forest fire, which started on Monday afternoon.
The victims include 18 firefighters and a local forest farmworker who led the way for the firefighters. They were trapped in the fire due to a sudden change in the wind direction.
The president demanded a high degree of attention to the prominent risks of fires and floods at this season, noting that several provinces had recently reported forest fires or safety accidents.
He says that local governments should thoroughly2 screen the risks of fires, landslides3 and workplace hazards while coordinating4 epidemic5 control and work resumption.
President Xi Jinping has inspected wetland conservation and technology-based urban management in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
He visited the Xixi National Wetland Park and the City Brain, a smart city platform aiming to improve urban management.
Hangzhou's City Brain project was launched in 2016 to help the city make plans in areas including public security, transport and healthcare with the use of big data, cloud computing6 and artificial intelligence.
With an area of around 12 square kilometers, the Xixi National Wetland Park is the first national wetland park in the country.
The Chinese government will roll out a set of fiscal7 and financial policies, including allocating8 more local government bond quota9 in advance.

The Premier adds that stronger measures will be implemented12 to offer inclusive financial support to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
The government also decides to boost auto13 consumption.

China will start to report the asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 on a daily basis from today.
Chang Jile is an official with the National Health Committee.
"Starting from April 1, we will include asymptomatic cases including the reporting, transformation16 and management in the daily report of epidemic and will respond to the public concern."
Chang says all asymptomatic individuals will be put under mandatory17 isolation18 for 14 days.
He says local authorities will strengthen the prevention and control of asymptomatic infections, including timely reporting, quick transferring and registration19 of close contacts.
Symptom-free individuals infected with COVID-19 may lead to further spreading of the disease, but the infectivity of asymptomatic cases is still unclear.
As of Tuesday, a total of 1,541 asymptomatic patients infected with COVID-19 have been put under medical observation, including 205 imported cases.
The White House is projecting that between 100,000 to 240,000 people in the U.S. will die from the coronavirus pandemic if social distancing measures continue to be followed.
The projections20 suggest that, if no social distancing measures had been put in place across the country, between 1.5 million to 2.2 million people would have died.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is Director of National Institute for Allergy21 and Infectious Diseases:
"We don't accept that number, that that's what it's gonna be. We're going to be doing everything we can to get it even significantly below that. So, you know, I don't want it to be a mixed message. This is the thing that we need to anticipate. But that doesn't mean that that's what we're going to accept. We want to do much, much better than that."
Latest data from Johns Hopkins University shows total confirmed cases have reached over 186,000 in the country, with 3,810 deaths.
