How to deal with this extreme weather? First, improve adaptability and strengthen forecasting.

Experts believe that there is no need to panic too much about extreme weather, but it needs to be highly valued and scientifically dealt with. Zhou Bing reminded that at present, China has entered the stage of frequent occurrence of extreme weather, but many people know little about all kinds of extreme weather, especially the disastrous consequences that extreme weather may cause. When a disaster happens, you may be in a hurry because of insufficient preparation, thus aggravating the disaster. "Climate change has happened and will continue for some time. Adaptation is a more urgent and realistic need, and we must enhance our ability to adapt to the climate. "

Zhou Bing believes that to improve adaptability, it is necessary to strengthen forecasting and related basic research, which is the premise of disaster prevention. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of emergency mechanisms for extreme weather, and rescue and provide disaster relief at any time when disasters come. In addition, the propaganda of extreme weather and its harmfulness should be strengthened. Only by popularizing this knowledge can the whole society keep a high degree of vigilance against disaster weather and avoid the situation that some people are unwilling to leave their homes when disasters such as flash floods come.

Second, take reasonable countermeasures.

Man and nature live in harmony. The atmosphere is an important part of the natural environment and a necessary condition for human survival. Strengthening the monitoring and analysis of atmospheric evolution, scientific understanding, following laws, forecasting and taking reasonable countermeasures are important ways to realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
