Which level of disaster is more serious, yellow signal or orange signal?
Zhang Guocai, director of the Department of Prediction and Disaster Reduction of China Meteorological Bureau, said that the use of different meteorological disaster warning signs in different places caused confusion in people's identification. In order to standardize the release of early warning signals of sudden meteorological disasters, enhance the awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation of the whole people, improve the efficiency of the use of early warning information of meteorological disasters, effectively defend and mitigate meteorological disasters, and protect the safety of the country and people's lives and property, it is decided to adopt unified standards nationwide.
The unification work will be completed before the end of the year, so as to ensure that there will be a unified standard nationwide next year, and this work will be carried out in a standardized and orderly manner. If local early warning standards, such as rainstorm and high temperature, are allowed to be formulated in some areas, they should be reported to the Prediction and Disaster Reduction Department of China Meteorological Bureau for approval on the basis of extensive consultation with experts.
The first batch of sudden meteorological disasters with warning signals are: typhoon, rainstorm, high temperature, cold wave, fog, sandstorm, thunderstorm and gale, hail, blizzard and road icing, *** 1 1. Early warning signals are generally divided into four levels. According to the severity and urgency of the disaster, the colors are divided into blue, yellow, orange and red, which represent ordinary, heavy, serious and particularly serious respectively. According to the different warning grades of each disaster, the different grades of 1 1 disaster weather are represented by 34 signs.
According to the weather changes, the Meteorological Bureau will issue early warning signals to the society at any time through TV, SMS and other means, and provide disaster prevention measures. For example, in case of rainstorm, a red rainstorm warning will be issued to remind relevant emergency departments and rescue units to be ready to start emergency rescue plans at any time; Schools, kindergartens and other relevant units with existing students and employees should take special protective measures, and units in dangerous areas should suspend classes or suspend business and immediately move to safe places for temporary refuge.
Early warning must be issued in time and accurately.
Zhang Guocai, director of the Department of Forecasting and Disaster Reduction of China Meteorological Bureau, demanded that the competent meteorological departments at all levels must timely and accurately issue early warning signals, update or cancel the early warning signals in time according to the weather changes, and notify the people's government at the same level.
Zhang Guocai said that the meteorological offices and stations affiliated to the competent meteorological departments at or above the county level should uniformly issue early warning signals, indicating the early warning areas of meteorological disasters. No organization or individual may disseminate to the public the early warning signals provided by meteorological offices and stations subordinate to non-competent meteorological departments. The meteorological observatory at a higher level shall strengthen the technical guidance for the meteorological observatory at a lower level to issue early warning signals, strengthen the consultation and communication between the meteorological observatory at a higher level and the meteorological observatory at a lower level to ensure the consistency of the early warning signals issued by the meteorological observatory at a higher level and the meteorological observatory at a lower level.
