The geographical events in June 20 12-12 are typical and simple both at home and abroad.

Event:

From June to August of 20 12, Italy suffered from a rare high temperature in history and the worst drought in 10 years due to the continuous raging heat wave. The continuous high temperature and dry weather has brought great impact on Italian agricultural production, resulting in a large-scale reduction of the country's main crops and agricultural losses of 654.38 billion euros. Drought reduced the yield of tomatoes by 20%, corn by 30%, soybeans by 40%, cabbages for sugar production by nearly 50% and sunflowers by 20%. Heat and drought have also had a great impact on the output of olive oil, another major agricultural product in Italy. The loss caused by the reduction of olive production in Brescia alone amounted to100,000 euros. The total economic loss reached $6543.8+$230 million.

Coping with:

Under the attack of high temperature, the Italian meteorological department issued a red high temperature warning to 15 cities across the country. The civil affairs department of the Italian government also issued a reminder to the public to prevent heatstroke and cool down. At the same time, the Italian health department has opened 1500 free hotlines to provide people with weather information and suggestions for dealing with high temperature weather. With the intensification of high temperature and the onset of drought, many regions in Italy have declared disaster levels, and the Italian agricultural sector responded positively, requesting the EU to provide assistance to help the affected people.

Italy's agricultural insurance system is managed by the Ministry of Agriculture through the establishment of national support funds, and the budget has special subjects. On the one hand, farmers' disaster losses are reduced by means of compensation afterwards, that is, when the disaster losses of agricultural enterprises are greater than 30%, the government provides certain financial support for enterprises; On the other hand, through the realization of insurance, help farmers to rescue disasters and resume production in time after disasters, and encourage farmers to participate in crop insurance. When agricultural enterprises are insured, the government subsidizes the premium by 30% ~ 40%. In this drought, three regions in northern Italy have used domestic funds to compensate farmers for up to 80% of the loss of crop value.
