Recently, The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Office of the National Disaster Reduction Committee, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Health and Family Planning Commission, the Bureau of Statistics, the Forestry Bureau, the Seismological Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Oceanic Administration, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the China Red Cross Society, China Railway Corporation and other departments, discussed and analyzed the national natural disasters in the first three quarters of 214. It has been approved that in the first three quarters, natural disasters in China were mainly drought, flood, typhoon and earthquake, and disasters such as wind and hail, mountain collapse, landslide, debris flow, storm surge, biological disasters and forest and grassland fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters * * * caused 245.219 million people to be affected, 1,536 people were killed, 24 people were missing, 6.67 million people were resettled urgently, and 2.692 million people needed emergency life assistance; 424, houses collapsed and 3.9 million houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 24,899.3 thousand hectares, of which 2,853.9 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 318.26 billion yuan.
compared with the same period in recent years, the overall disaster situation in the first three quarters was obviously lighter, and the disaster situation in some areas was more serious. Yunnan Ludian earthquake and Typhoon rammasun caused a large number of casualties, and the summer drought in Huanghuai and other places in the northeast was serious, and the flood, wind and hail disasters were light. The natural disasters in the first three quarters mainly showed the following characteristics:
First, the earthquake activity was frequent, and the Ludian earthquake caused serious casualties. In the first three quarters, there were 15 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in mainland China, including 6 in Yunnan and Xinjiang and 3 in Tibet. There were three earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above, namely Yutian earthquake of magnitude 7.3 in Xinjiang on February 12, Yingjiang earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in Yunnan on May 3 and Ludian earthquake of magnitude 6.5 in Yunnan on August 3. Among them, the Ludian M6.5 earthquake in Yunnan is the strongest earthquake recorded in Ludian area, and it is also the strongest earthquake after Yao 'an M6.5 earthquake in Yunnan Province in 2, resulting in 617 deaths, 112 missing, 3,143 injured, more than 2, farm houses collapsed or seriously damaged, and infrastructure such as transportation, communication, electricity, farmland and water conservancy was seriously damaged, which had a serious impact on local people's production and life and directly affected the economy. Compared with the same period since 24, the losses caused by earthquake disasters are obviously biased, and the number of people who died and disappeared due to disasters is second only to 28 when Wenchuan earthquake occurred and 21 when Yushu earthquake occurred in Qinghai.
Second, the flood disaster is generally light, and some areas in the south are seriously affected. In the first three quarters, more than 5 rivers in China were flooded beyond the guaranteed water level, more than 2 rivers were flooded beyond the historical record, and the southern region suffered 33 large-scale heavy rainfall. The Yuanjiang River in Dongting Lake system in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was flooded beyond the historical highest water level, and the Beijiang River in the Pearl River Basin was flooded once in more than 1 years, and waterlogging occurred in some urban areas, which greatly affected people's production, life and transportation. According to statistics, in the first three quarters, floods (including geological disasters) caused 77.41 million people in 1518 counties (cities, districts) in 28 provinces across the country, 712 people died and disappeared, and 3.666 million people were resettled. 249, houses collapsed and 1.3 million houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops was 5,139.4 thousand hectares, of which 753.6 thousand hectares were never harvested. Compared with the same period since 24, the flood disaster (including geological disasters) is generally light, and the number of people missing due to the disaster, the area affected by crops, the area where crops were not harvested, and the number of damaged houses are all about 5% less. Among them, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places suffered serious disasters, and the number of dead and missing people, emergency resettlement population and damaged houses accounted for more than 7% of the total losses in the country.
Third, there is high temperature and little rain in the north, and summer drought is prominent in Huanghuai and other places in the northeast. Since July, high temperature and lack of rain in Northeast China, Huanghuai and other places have led to the rapid development of drought, which reached its peak in early August and gradually eased in late August, but it still has a certain impact on autumn grain production in some areas. According to statistics, the drought has caused more than 71 million people in 11 provinces (autonomous regions) to be affected, and more than 1 million people need living assistance because of the drought. The affected area of crops is more than 8, thousand hectares, of which more than 1, thousand hectares have not been harvested. Compared with the same period since 24, the drought disaster is generally light, and the area affected by crops, the area where crops are not harvested and the direct economic losses are less than 3%. Among them, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Ningxia and other provinces suffered serious disasters, resulting in 9.755 million people needing life assistance due to drought; The affected area of crops was 728 thousand hectares, of which 971.9 thousand hectares were not harvested.
Fourth, the number and frequency of typhoon landings are relatively small, and the history of super typhoon is rare. In the first three quarters, five typhoons landed in mainland China, and the number of landings was significantly less than that in the same period of the previous year (6.5). Among them, it was rare that there was no typhoon in August. Generally speaking, the typhoon made landfall in China earlier this year, among which Typhoon No.149 "rammasun" and Typhoon No.141 "Medham" landed three times respectively, and Typhoon No.1416 "Phoenix" landed as many as four times, which was the first typhoon to land in Shanghai in 25 years. "rammasun" is the strongest typhoon that landed in South China since 1973, and it has also had the most serious impact on Hainan Province since 2. More than 1 flights in Hainan and other places have been cancelled, many ferries and passenger ships have been suspended, and many trains have been suspended. Water supply and power supply in Haikou and Wenchang in Hainan, Xuwen and Leizhou in Guangdong, Beihai and Fangchenggang in Guangxi were once interrupted in large areas, and seawater backflow occurred in many places. According to statistics, the typhoon disaster in the first three quarters caused 26.15 million people in 364 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces across the country, 111 people died and disappeared, and 1.761 million people were resettled. 53, houses collapsed and 59, houses were damaged to varying degrees.
Fifth, the low temperature rain and snow affected Spring Festival travel rush at the beginning of the year, and the losses caused by wind and hail disasters were relatively light. In February, frequent low-temperature rain and snow weather processes continued to occur in the central and eastern regions, with the maximum cooling rate generally above 1 degrees, with the cooling rate reaching 18 degrees in some areas. In Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei and other places, low-temperature freezing and snowstorms occurred, causing 1 deaths, freezing cash crops such as tea and rape, and damaging some power and communication infrastructure. Among them, the large-scale rain and snow weather process in central and eastern China on February 4-7 had a great impact on the return traffic in Spring Festival travel rush. According to statistics, in the first three quarters, 22.597 million people in 1,132 counties (cities, districts) in 3 provinces were affected, 165 people died and disappeared, and 11, people were resettled. 12, houses collapsed and 288, houses were damaged to varying degrees. Compared with the same period since 24, the disaster situation is generally light, and the number of missing persons, emergency resettlement population and damaged houses are all less than 5%.

It has been approved that in October, natural disasters in China were mainly earthquakes, floods, low-temperature freezing and snow disasters, and disasters such as drought, wind and hail, mountain collapse, landslides and forest and grassland fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters * * * caused 3.25 million people in 21 counties (cities, districts) in 21 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) to be affected, 29 people were killed, 1 person was missing, 128, people were transferred and resettled urgently, and 7, people needed emergency life assistance; More than 8, houses collapsed and 179, were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 353.7 thousand hectares, of which 42.1 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 8.11 billion yuan.
compared with the same period in recent years, the overall disaster situation in October was light, and the disaster situation in some areas was more serious. The earthquake disaster in Jinggu, Yunnan Province has a great impact. The low-temperature freezing and snow disaster in the northeast and northwest are serious, and the flood disaster is generally light. The disaster mainly presents the following three characteristics: First, the Jinggu earthquake has a great impact. In October, there were three earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in mainland China, one in Sichuan, one in Yunnan and one in Qinghai, more than the same period in history. Among them, the magnitude of the Jinggu 6.6 earthquake in Yunnan was the highest on October 7th. Since then, there have been three earthquakes of magnitude 4 or above in Jinggu, Yunnan Province, causing 373, people to be affected, one dead, 331 injured, 114, people to be relocated urgently, more than 7, houses collapsed, and 163, houses were damaged to varying degrees, resulting in direct economic losses of 5.11 billion yuan, transportation, communication, electric power, farmland, water conservancy and other foundations.
Second, local low-temperature freezing and snowstorm are prominent. In October, there were obvious rain and snow and cooling weather in Northeast China, Northwest China and Inner Mongolia, and the local drop reached 14-18℃. The low-temperature rain and snow weather caused serious disasters to crops such as cotton, vegetables and melons. According to statistics, low-temperature freezing and snowstorm have affected 1.329 million people in 68 counties (cities, districts) in 7 provinces, and the affected area of crops is 124.7 thousand hectares, of which 225 thousand hectares were never harvested and the direct economic loss was 1.57 billion yuan.

On 24th to 27th, the rainfall in 43 towns in Hainan * * * exceeded 3mm, with the maximum rainfall of 65.8mm in Wancheng Town of Wanning City. From 27th to 3th, precipitation in Sichuan and Guizhou exceeded 5 mm, and in some areas it exceeded 1 mm.. Heavy rainfall caused urban waterlogging in Qionghai, Hainan and other places, and many highways in southwest China were closed. According to statistics, floods (including geological disasters) caused 862, people in 53 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces across the country to be affected, 22 people died and disappeared, and 12, people were resettled.
