How to prevent climate disasters

Methods to prevent climate disasters include planning, people-oriented, monitoring and early warning.

1, make a plan and stand forever.

Formulate and practice emergency plans through countries, provinces, cities, districts, enterprises and institutions, communities and schools. Form an orderly and prepared disaster prevention and mitigation situation. The emergency plan shall include the emergency organization system and responsibilities of natural disasters, forecasting and early warning, information reporting, emergency response, emergency disposal, emergency support, investigation and evaluation, etc. And form a set of work execution mechanism including before, during and after.

We should not put the plan on the shelf, but let the masses and disaster managers master the plan skillfully through training and plan drills, and constantly improve the plan in practice.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and give priority to prevention. It is necessary to enhance the sense of hardship, persevere and prevent problems before they happen. Adhere to the combination of prevention and emergency, and the combination of normality and abnormality. It is necessary to encourage communities to formulate emergency disaster prevention plans, carry out disaster relief drills, equip them with special communication equipment, replace common communication methods in case of emergency, and ensure necessary emergency materials and facilities. Actively prepare for emergencies in terms of equipment, technology and personnel.

2, people-oriented, disaster avoidance and mitigation.

People-oriented, to ensure the safety of public life and property as the primary task of disaster prevention and mitigation, to minimize the casualties caused by natural disasters and the harm to social and economic development. In the face of natural disasters, scientific defense, from early blind disaster resistance to active disaster avoidance in recent years, embodies the Scientific Outlook on Development of disaster prevention and mitigation.

3, monitoring and early warning, relying on science and technology.

Adhere to the basic policy of "prevention first" in disaster prevention and mitigation, put disaster monitoring, forecasting and early warning in a very prominent position, attach great importance to and do a good job in publishing early warning information for the whole society, including the socially disadvantaged groups.

Meteorological disaster is a sudden public event with long warning time and high forecasting accuracy. Strengthening the short-term and imminent forecast of disastrous weather, strengthening the production of early warning signals of sudden meteorological disasters and strengthening the release of meteorological early warning information are important scientific and technological guarantees for improving the level of disaster prevention and mitigation.

Causes of climate disasters

1. Climate change: Global warming leads to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as extreme high temperature and extreme precipitation.

2. Climate system: Changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, such as changes in the monsoon system and the movement of the subtropical high belt, may lead to climate disasters in some areas.

3. Ocean circulation: Changes in ocean circulation, such as changes in ocean current intensity and path, may affect global and regional climate.

4. Natural cycles: The effects of natural climate cycles such as El Ni? o and La Ni? a phenomena may lead to climate disasters.

5. Greenhouse gas emissions: Greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activities are the main cause of global warming.

6. Land use change: Unreasonable land use and vegetation destruction may lead to soil erosion and desertification and increase the risk of climate disasters.

7. Urbanization process: Urban expansion and urbanization process may aggravate the urban heat island effect and increase the risk of climate disasters in urban areas.

8. Environmental policy: The formulation and implementation of environmental policies will also affect the risk management of climate disasters.
