Why are humans almost helpless in the face of heavy rain? Is there really no way to stop the rain?

Rainstorm is an extreme natural phenomenon, and its occurrence and duration are influenced by many factors such as climate change, topography, ocean and atmosphere. At present, human beings have no ability to directly control or stop heavy rain, but they can reduce the harm of heavy rain to human life through the following aspects:

Prevention: improve the ability of early warning and monitoring of extreme weather, strengthen urban planning and infrastructure construction, and avoid living or developing in disaster-prone areas.

Response: formulate emergency plans and rescue measures, improve public awareness of disaster prevention and self-help ability, and timely transfer people and property in dangerous areas.

Recovery: Accelerate post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, improve the living conditions of the affected people, and restore normal social order and economic activities.
