2018Basic situation of natural disasters in China in

Recently, the Emergency Management Department and the Office of the National Disaster Reduction Committee, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Health and Wellness Commission, the Statistics Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, the Forestry and Grass Bureau, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, the Red Cross Society, China Railway Corporation and other departments,2018The national natural disasters were discussed and analyzed in. After approval,2018In, natural disasters in China were mainly floods and typhoons, and disasters such as drought, wind and hail, earthquake, geology, low-temperature freezing, snow disaster and forest fire also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters have caused the whole country.1.3Hundreds of millions of people were affected,589People die,46People are missing,524.5Ten thousand emergency transfer and resettlement;9.7Ten thousand houses collapsed,23.1Ten thousand rooms were seriously damaged,120.8Ten thousand rooms are generally damaged; Affected area of crops20814.threeThousand hectares, which will not be accepted.2585Thousand hectares; direct economic loss2644.6100 million yuan. On the whole,2018In 2000, the national natural disasters were worse than in the past.fiveThe annual average is obviously light, in which the number of people who died and disappeared, the number of houses collapsed and the direct economic losses decreased respectively.59%、78%and34%.

2018In, the national natural disasters mainly had the following characteristics:

1. Disaster losses are relatively concentrated in time and space distribution.

In terms of time, natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, wind and hail are concentrated insix－eightThe number of deaths, missing persons, collapsed houses and direct economic losses accounted for the total number of the whole year.69%、84%and67%; Regionally, the provinces with serious disasters are concentrated in Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan and Gansu.sixProvinces (autonomous regions), where the total number of people who died or disappeared due to disasters, the number of houses collapsed and direct economic losses accounted for the national total.49%、63%and53%; In terms of casualties, the western region accounts for a relatively high proportion, and various natural disasters have caused the western region.325People died (including missing), accounting for the national total53%.

Second, the flood disaster showed a trend of "increasing in the north and decreasing in the south"

2018In 2000, China appeared together.39In the process of sub-heavy precipitation, the precipitation in northwest, north China, Inner Mongolia and parts of Heilongjiang is more than normal.three－eightAs a result, floods and geological disasters in northern provinces (regions) such as Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai and Xinjiang are more than in the past.fiveThe annual average value is obviously biased, and the number of people affected by disasters, the number of people killed and missing and the direct economic losses have increased respectively.39%、19%and40%. Most of the precipitation in the south is flat or less than normal, and the floods in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan provinces are obviously lighter. Jinsha River and Yarlung Zangbo River occurred one after another.fourAlthough the sub-serious landslide and dammed lake disaster did not cause casualties, it had a great impact and was rare in history. According to statistics, floods and geological disasters have caused the whole country.3526.2Ten thousand people were affected,338People die,forty-twoPeople are missing,142Ten thousand emergency transfer and resettlement;6.4Ten thousand houses collapsed,13.9Ten thousand rooms were seriously damaged,65Ten thousand rooms are generally damaged; direct economic loss1060.5100 million yuan.

Third, the number of typhoon landings is obviously high.

2018In 2000, there were altogether in mainland China.10A typhoon landed, more than normal (sevenA) more.threeA. "Abe", "Capricorn" and "Wambia" landed in East China one after another within one month and went deep inland to affect North China and Northeast China, which is rare in history. "Wambia" is2018The typhoon, which caused the worst disaster in, caused severe storms and floods in Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces. "Mangosteen" is2018The strongest landfall typhoon in 2000 had a certain impact on Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other provinces (regions). According to statistics, typhoon disasters have caused the whole country.3260.6Ten thousand people were affected,80People die,threePeople are missing,366.6Emergency transfer and resettlement of 10,000 people;2.4Ten thousand houses collapsed,4.3Ten thousand houses were seriously damaged,16.2Ten thousand rooms are generally damaged; direct economic loss697.3100 million yuan. Generally speaking, typhoon disasters and the pastfiveThe annual average is basically the same, and the emergency resettlement population and the affected area of crops have increased.25%and79%The number of deaths, missing persons and collapsed houses decreased.36%and42%.

Four, the low temperature, freezing rain and snow and the occurrence of drought are relatively concentrated.

2018The annual low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters are mainly concentrated inoneMonth,fourEarly moon and peacetwelveLate June.oneThere were three large-scale low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather processes in the central and eastern regions in January, and the disasters in Anhui and Hubei provinces were heavier.fourAt the beginning of the month, a large-scale cold wave appeared in the whole country, which greatly affected crops in Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and other provinces (regions);twelveIn late October, small to medium snow and partial heavy snow appeared in parts of many provinces, which were greatly affected in central and northern Hunan, southern Hubei, northwestern Jiangxi and central and southern Guizhou. Generally speaking, low temperature, rain, snow and freezing disasters tend to occur, resulting in the whole country.2495.3Ten thousand people were affected,23People died and crops were affected.3412.6Thousand hectares, direct economic loss434100 million yuan. The drought is mainly concentrated infourLate month to late monthsixDuring this period, the precipitation in Northeast China is less than normal.three－eightYes, the temperature is on the high sideone－2℃Crops in Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other provinces (regions) have been affected to some extent. Generally speaking, the drought occurred lightly, resulting in7711.8Thousands of hectares of crops were affected, resulting in direct economic losses.255.3100 million yuan.

5. Seismic activity is relatively strong in the second half of the year.

2018It happened in mainland China in.16timefiveEarthquakes of magnitude above, the seismic activity was relatively quiet in the first half of the year, and in the second half.eight－10Monthly continuous occurrence10timefiveEarthquakes above M = 0.05 are high values in the same period in recent years. Among them,ninemooneightsunMojiang County, Yunnan5.9The magnitude earthquake is2018The earthquake with the highest magnitude and the worst disaster in mainland China in, caused2000More than two houses collapsed,3.4Ten thousand houses were damaged to varying degrees.
