How to protect the safety of life and property under the flood caused by heavy rainfall?

(B) The Hazard of Floods

Flood disasters are one of the most serious natural disasters in the world. Floods are often distributed in places with dense population, high agricultural cultivation, concentrated rivers and lakes, and abundant rainfall, such as the warm temperate zone and subtropical zone in the northern hemisphere. China and Bangladesh are the areas with the most frequent flood disasters in the world, and floods in the United States, Japan, India, and Europe are also more serious.

China has a vast territory, complex terrain, and remarkable monsoon climate. It is one of the countries in the world with frequent floods and a wide range of influence. About 35% of the country’s arable land, 40% of the population, and 70% of industrial and agricultural production are often threatened by river floods, and property damage caused by flood disasters ranks first among all kinds of disasters.

According to historical statistics, from 206 BC to 1949 of 2155 which, occurs throughout the country large floods 1092, an average of about once every two years occurred. 1954 since 1949 the whole basin of the Yangtze River floods the worst year, the country affected crop area of 2? 4 million hectares, about 3? 3 million deaths.

For example, in 1998 , the devastating floods in the Yangtze, Nen and Songhua River basins affected 340 million mu of land, affected 800 million people (times), and killed 4,150 people.

(three) how to deal with floods and disasters

According to the mechanism of the flood disaster, flood disasters are obviously seasonal, regional, and repeatable. Flood disasters in most countries in the world are prone to occur in the second half of the year. Flood disasters in China mainly occur in April-September . For example, almost all of the floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River occurred in summer. Flood disasters are related to the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation and the topography. The areas with heavy floods in the world are mostly on both sides of the river and coastal areas. For our country, the floods are generally more in the east and less in the west; there are many coastal areas and inland areas; there are many plain areas and there are few highland and mountainous areas. Flood disasters, like climate change, have their own patterns of change. These changes are made up of various long and short periods, causing flood disasters to cycle back and forth.

(4) What are the specific preventive measures?

1. Usually develop scientific living habits that focus on weather forecasts, keep abreast of weather changes, and prepare for family protection;
