What major natural disasters occurred in our country on which days and where in 2014, and what losses they caused to people.

The National Disaster Reduction Office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs released the national disaster situation in the first three quarters of 2014. Source: Civil Affairs Department website time: 2014-10-28 10:49 Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Office of the National Disaster Reduction Commission, together with the Industry and Information Technology Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Agriculture, Health and Family Planning Commission, Bureau of Statistics, Forestry Bureau, Seismological Bureau, Meteorological Bureau, China Insurance Regulatory Commission, Oceanic Administration, General Staff Department, General Political Department, Red Cross Society of China The Council, China Railway Corporation and other departments conducted consultations and analyzes on the national natural disaster situation in the first three quarters of 2014. It has been verified that in the first three quarters, my country's natural disasters were mainly droughts, floods, typhoons, and earthquakes. Disasters such as wind hail, mountain collapse, landslides, mudslides, storm surges, biological disasters, and forest and grassland fires also occurred to varying degrees. Various natural disasters caused 245.219 million people to be affected nationwide, 1,536 people died, 240 people were missing, 6.067 million people were urgently relocated, and 2.692 million people needed emergency living assistance; 424,000 houses collapsed and 3.009 million houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of ??crops was 248.993 thousand hectares, of which 2853.9 thousand hectares had no harvest; direct economic losses were 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 disasters in some areas were more serious. The Ludian earthquake and Rammasun typhoon in Yunnan caused a large number of casualties. The summer drought in Huanghuai and other places in Northeast China was severe, while the flood, wind and hail disasters were relatively minor. The natural disasters in the first three quarters mainly showed the following characteristics: First, earthquake activities were relatively frequent, and the Ludian earthquake caused serious casualties. In the first three quarters, 15 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above occurred in mainland my country, including 6 earthquakes each in Yunnan and Xinjiang and 3 in Tibet. There were three earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above, namely the 7.3 magnitude earthquake in Yutian, Xinjiang on February 12, the 6.1 magnitude earthquake in Yingjiang, Yunnan on May 30, and the 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Ludian, Yunnan on August 3. Among them, the 6.5-magnitude earthquake in Ludian, Yunnan was the strongest earthquake recorded in history in the Ludian area. It was also the strongest earthquake in Yunnan Province after the 2000 Yao'an 6.5-magnitude earthquake. It caused 617 deaths, 112 missing people, 3143 injuries, and 20 More than 10,000 farm houses collapsed or were seriously damaged, and infrastructure such as transportation, communications, electricity, farmland, and water conservancy were severely damaged, which had a serious impact on the production and life of the local people. Direct economic losses were 20.14 billion yuan (including 19.85 billion yuan in Yunnan and 1.7 billion yuan in Sichuan). 100 million yuan, Guizhou 120 million yuan). Compared with the same period since 2004, the losses caused by earthquake disasters are obviously heavier. Among them, the number of deaths and missing persons due to disasters is second only to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2010 Yushu earthquake in Qinghai. Second, the flood damage was generally mild, with some areas in the south severely affected. In the first three quarters, more than 50 rivers across the country experienced floods that exceeded guaranteed water levels, and more than 20 rivers experienced floods that exceeded historical records. The southern region suffered from 33 large-scale heavy rainfall events. The Yuanjiang River in the Dongting Lake system in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River experienced a major flood that exceeded the highest water level in history. Floods, a major flood that has occurred in Beijiang in the Pearl River Basin in more than 10 years, have caused waterlogging in some urban areas in many places, greatly affecting people's production, life and transportation. According to statistics, in the first three quarters, floods (including geological disasters) caused 77.041 million people to be affected in 1,518 counties (cities, districts) in 28 provinces across the country, 712 people were killed and missing, and 3.666 million people were urgently relocated; 249,000 houses collapsed, and 1.30 million people were relocated. Thousands of households were damaged to varying degrees; the affected area of ??crops was 5,139.4 thousand hectares, of which 753.6 thousand hectares had no harvest. Compared with the same period since 2004, the disasters caused by floods (including geological disasters) are generally lighter, and the number of people killed and missing due to disasters, the area of ??crops affected, the area of ??crops with no harvests, and the number of damaged houses are all about 50% less. Among them, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places were severely affected. The number of dead and missing people, emergency resettlement people and damaged houses accounted for more than 70% of the total losses nationwide. Third, the northern region has high temperatures and little rain, and places such as Huanghuai and Northeast China suffer from severe summer droughts. Since July, high temperatures and lack of rain in Northeast China, Huanghuai and other places have caused drought to develop rapidly and reach its peak in early August. The drought gradually eased in late August, but it still had a certain impact on autumn grain production in some areas. According to statistics, this drought affected more than 71 million people in 11 provinces (autonomous regions) across the country. More than 10 million people needed living assistance due to the drought. The affected area of ??crops was more than 8,000 hectares, of which more than 1,000 hectares were harvested. Compared with the same period since 2004, drought disasters are generally lighter, and the affected crop area, crop failure area, and direct economic losses are all less than 30%. Among them, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Ningxia and other provinces were severely affected, causing 9.755 million people to need living assistance due to drought; the crop damage area was 7028 thousand hectares, of which 971.9 thousand hectares had no harvest. Fourth, the number of typhoons making landfall is relatively small and the frequency is relatively high. Super typhoons are rare in history. In the first three quarters, five typhoons made landfall in mainland my country, and the number of landfalls was significantly lower than the same period in normal years (6.5). Among them, no typhoon occurred in August, which is historically rare.

Generally speaking, at the beginning of this year, typhoons were too early and typhoons made landfall in my country more frequently. Among them, Super Typhoon No. 1409 Rammasun and Typhoon No. 1410 Maidem made landfall three times each, and Typhoon No. 1416 Phoenix made landfall as many as four times. This was the first typhoon to land in Shanghai in 25 years. "Ramason" is the strongest typhoon to land in South China since 1973, and it is also the typhoon that has the most serious impact on Hainan Province since 2000. More than 100 flights in Hainan and other places have been cancelled, many ferries and passenger ships have been suspended, and many train lines have been suspended. Outage; water and power supply in cities such as Haikou and Wenchang in Hainan, Xuwen and Leizhou in Guangdong, Beihai and Fangchenggang in Guangxi were temporarily interrupted in large areas, and seawater intrusion occurred in many places. According to statistics, in the first three quarters, typhoon disasters caused 26.15 million people to be affected in 364 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces across the country, 111 people were killed and missing, and 1.761 million people were urgently relocated; 53,000 houses collapsed, 590,000 Various degrees of damage.

In February, relatively frequent low-temperature rain and snow weather conditions continued to occur in the central and eastern parts of the country. The maximum temperature drop was generally above 10 degrees, and in some areas the temperature dropped as much as 18 degrees. Low-temperature freezing and snow disasters occurred in Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei and other places, causing severe Ten people died, tea, rapeseed and other cash crops were frozen, and some power and communication infrastructure were damaged. Among them, the large-scale rain and snow weather in the central and eastern regions from February 4 to 7 had a greater impact on the return traffic during the Spring Festival travel rush. According to statistics, in the first three quarters, wind and hail disasters affected 22.597 million people in 1,132 counties (cities and districts) in 30 provinces across the country. 165 people were killed and missing, and 110,000 people were urgently relocated; 12,000 houses collapsed, and 288,000 houses collapsed to varying degrees. damage. Compared with the same period since 2004, the disasters were generally lighter, and the number of people who died and were missing due to disasters, the number of emergency resettlement people, and the number of damaged houses were all less than 50%.

Compared with the same period in recent years, the overall disaster situation in October was relatively mild, and the disasters in some areas were more severe. The earthquake disaster in Jinggu, Yunnan, had a greater impact. Low temperature freezing and snow disasters were severe in the northeast and northwest, and the flood disaster was generally light. The disaster mainly showed the following three characteristics: First, the Jinggu earthquake had a greater impact. In October, three earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above occurred in mainland my country, one each in Sichuan, Yunnan and Qinghai, which was more than the same period in history. Among them, the 6.6-magnitude earthquake in Jinggu, Yunnan on October 7 was the highest.

The affected area of ??crops was 124.7 thousand hectares, of which 22.5 thousand hectares were harvested, and the direct economic loss was 1.57 billion yuan. Third, flood disasters are generally light. In late October, heavy rainfall occurred in Hainan and the Sichuan Basin, Guizhou and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. From the 24th to the 27th, 43 towns in Hainan received more than 300 mm of rainfall, with the maximum being 605.8 mm in Wancheng Town, Wanning City; From the 27th to the 30th, precipitation exceeded 50 mm in Sichuan, Guizhou and other places, and exceeded 100 mm in some areas. Heavy rainfall caused urban waterlogging in Qionghai, Hainan and other places, and many highways in the southwest were closed. According to statistics, floods (including geological disasters) affected 862,000 people in 53 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces across the country, with 22 people dead and missing, and 12,000 people urgently relocated; the affected area of ??crops was 106.2 thousand hectares, of which 11.3% failed to harvest.
