In the rare snowstorm in southern China, the losses reported by insurance companies are rising.

"After the disaster, the 95500 customer service phone number of Pacific Property Insurance has never stopped." Yesterday, the relevant person in charge of Pacific Property Insurance said in an interview.

Since mid-October, 65438/kloc-0, extreme weather of continuous low temperature, rain, snow and freezing, which is rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has occurred in most areas of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Guizhou, resulting in power and water cuts, communication interruptions and frequent traffic accidents in some areas, which has greatly affected people's production and life, and also tested the emergency mechanism and claim settlement process of the entire insurance industry.

The amount of reported losses continues to rise.

"Just received a loss report, a factory warehouse in Jiading District of Shanghai collapsed, which is the biggest loss case at present." At 5: 30 pm yesterday, the reporter called Sun Huanmin, assistant general manager of Shanghai Anxin Agricultural Insurance Co., Ltd. He told the reporter that the snowstorm had a great impact on farmers in suburban counties of Shanghai, causing some vegetable greenhouses to collapse and be damaged. The specific loss data may not be counted until 65438+1October 3 1.

Previously, the latest statistics released by China Ping An showed that as of June 29th, 13 branches in China, Ping An Life Insurance Company of China, Chongqing and Hunan had received 18752 cases, and 144 16 cases had been closed, and the compensation amount had reached 527,67848.09 yuan. In this regard, the insurance industry pointed out that in the future, the number of reported losses from snowstorms will further increase, and the amount of reported losses will continue to accumulate.

Xiao Jun, general manager of the property department of Sunshine Property Insurance Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch, said that the company received a phone call from customers on Monday, mainly focusing on reporting property losses of enterprises. He analyzed that this kind of extreme weather is rare in most parts of the south, and it is lagging behind and unprepared in early prevention and preparation; The steel structure design of some factory warehouses is not suitable for rain and snow weather, which is the main reason for the high risk rate after the disaster.

According to the latest data obtained by the reporter from Pacific Property Insurance, as of June 28th, 65,438, the company * * * received 9,765 auto insurance reports, with a reported amount of 23.86 million yuan, and non-auto insurance reports 1220, with a reported amount of 66.09 million yuan. Among them, there have been more than 2,000 auto insurance reports in Hubei Province, with a reported loss of 5.8 million yuan.

The insurance company is busy but not chaotic.

"Of course, the insurance company is fully capable of paying for the possible large amount of compensation, which will not affect the stable operation of the company." The relevant person in charge of Pacific Property Insurance said. In fact, after the catastrophic rain and snow disaster, all insurance companies launched catastrophe plans at the first time, making full preparations for property insurance, auto insurance, personal insurance claims and customer service in disastrous weather.

Taking Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance as an example, the company issued a "Letter to Customers" in advance to remind customers of the precautions for vehicle maintenance and driving in winter, so as to nip in the bud; 955 1 1, 955 12 call centers should adjust their manpower in time in areas where large-scale accidents are expected to occur, so as to ensure the connection rate of reporting calls. The Property & Casualty Claims Department has formulated the simplified rules for case claims documents during the catastrophe, defined the work undertaking scheme and echelon personnel of each branch, and made effective arrangements for the survey work.

In addition, the reporter learned that in Hubei, where the disaster was serious, Ping An auto insurance dispatchers dispatched the province to investigate and determine the loss resources for three consecutive nights, effectively guaranteeing the limit of Ping An auto insurance claims. Ping An Property & Casualty opened a green claim channel for China Southern Power Grid in Guizhou, where low temperature and freezing weather continued to occur, and fully assisted Guizhou Power Grid in accident reporting and damage assessment. At the same time, the sub-bureau dispatched all administrative vehicles as investigation backup vehicles to ensure that the case investigation was in place in time.

Institutions at all levels of Pacific Property & Casualty launched emergency plans in a timely manner, and the head office adjusted the claims process in a timely manner, requiring all branches to make quick claims for small cases with clear accident responsibilities and small losses, and fix losses at the scene of the accident and pay them immediately; The Snow Disaster Emergency Guide was compiled in time to provide technical support for disaster prevention and relief work of branches at all levels, and branches were required to forward it to local customers to assist in relevant prevention work. The company has also established a disaster daily report system, closely monitored the progress of the disaster, strengthened contact with the Central Meteorological Observatory, strengthened the analysis of the follow-up snow disaster trend, and informed institutions at all levels and various customers of major meteorological disasters at the first time.

In this regard, insurance experts believe that the performance of various insurance companies in this catastrophic snowstorm is basically qualified. However, the freezing rain and snow disaster will continue for some time, and the intensity of rain and snow may further increase. Insurance companies should continue to make early warning notices and emergency measures to ensure the timely and rapid implementation of various claims.

Ministry of Civil Affairs: The snowstorm in the south is special, and it is planned to dispatch military helicopters for disaster relief.

BEIJING, 65438+1October 29 (Xinhua) According to CCTV reports, Wang, director of the Disaster Relief Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said yesterday that the current snowstorm affecting many southern provinces is a very special natural disaster encountered in China's disaster relief work for more than 50 years. At present, relevant parties are planning to use military helicopters to participate in the rescue.

Wang believes that this disaster has two outstanding characteristics. First of all, it is at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush, and many tourists are affected, some of whom have stayed for three days. The impassable roads have seriously affected some remote villages. Secondly, the complexity of this snowstorm exceeded that of flood control and general natural disasters in 1998, because it restricted the mobility of disaster relief.

Wang said that Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Guizhou and Guangxi were seriously affected. Disasters last for a long time, and most of the affected areas are in mountainous areas, making it more and more difficult to provide disaster relief. At present, relevant parties are planning to use military helicopters to participate in the rescue, and the provinces have also upgraded their disaster response levels. The working group sent by the State Council will also rush to the affected provinces to guide the rescue.

How did the snowstorm and ice disaster in southern provinces form this year?

Mr. Yang, chief forecaster of China Meteorological Bureau, said: In winter or early winter, there is less cold air in most parts of China, one is weak and the other is not frequent. Because we all know that the two conditions that snow or rain must meet are warm and humid airflow (air must have considerable humidity, moisture and high temperature), which comes from the south and from the tropical region; Another condition is that there must be cold air, which comes from the polar regions and from the mountainous areas. The cold air affecting our country in the early winter of this year is relatively weak, and the frequency is not much. Even with warm and humid airflow, it is not easy to snow without cold air. Therefore, before 1 month, there was relatively little precipitation, dry air and high temperature in most parts of China. However, in 1 month, great changes have taken place in the atmospheric circulation, making the cold air activities in China more active. After the cold air is active, the warm and humid air flow at low latitudes gradually strengthens, just combining cold and warm. Therefore, during this period, the cold air is relatively strong, the cold air activity is relatively frequent, and the warm and humid airflow is relatively strong. These two air currents have the same influence and meet coincidentally, so recently, especially in the Yangtze River basin, there have been more rain and snow, and the low temperature weather has been maintained for a long time. This is the main reason.

There is also the cold front weather caused by the cold air mass formed by the Asian high originating from Mongolia and Siberia. But simply from the perspective of the Asian high and cold front heading south, isn't it a bit one-sided? In that case, there will be low temperature snowfall in eastern China every winter. But how to explain the reason for such a rare large-scale continuous snowfall this year?

After thinking, I think the most important reason for this abnormal weather phenomenon is La Nina phenomenon. Affected by La Ni? a phenomenon, the water temperature in the equatorial western Pacific Ocean is high, and the water evaporation increases, which leads to the abnormal meridional circulation in East Asia. In addition, since the spring, the northerly airflow has prevailed in the north of China, while the warm and humid airflow in the southeast is relatively weak. Therefore, cold waves and strong winds frequently appear in the north. We know that at this time, East Asia is being affected by the Asian high. Therefore, it strengthens the power of Siberian cold air moving southward rapidly. After the cold air passes through the border, the temperature drops sharply, and after being blocked by Qinling and Daba Mountains, it goes south and stays in these areas for a long time. In addition, the warm and humid air flow from the southwest Indian Ocean to the north continuously increases the humidity and interacts with the cold air, thus forming continuous topographic precipitation (snow). Perhaps it caused the recent continuous low-temperature snowfall.

Xinhuanet Beijing 65438+1October 30 th Due to the expansion of low-temperature rain and snow disasters, the disasters in Sichuan and other places have intensified, and various places have increased their disaster relief efforts, and people's lives have been initially resettled.

Snow disaster in Sichuan continues to increase.

According to the statistics of Sichuan Provincial Civil Affairs Department on 30th 12, in this disaster, 7.3 million people were affected in Dazhou, Guangyuan and Aba 18 cities and 87 counties (cities, districts), and 1 person died.

He Xiaoming, director of the Disaster Relief Department of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, told the reporter that the recent rain and snow disasters in the province have developed from north to south: Luzhou and Yibin in southern Sichuan have become the new hardest hit areas, and the disasters in Gu Lin, Xuyong and Xingwen counties under their jurisdiction have been expanding and aggravating.

He Xiaoming said that in addition to the 8 million yuan disaster relief emergency fund allocated by the provincial finance, all parts of the disaster-stricken areas have also increased their investment in disaster relief funds and distributed all kinds of disaster relief materials in time. Yibin City, where the disaster is serious, has allocated 2 million yuan for disaster relief, and distributed quilts 1600 beds (pieces) to households in severe disaster. (Reporter Yang Sanjun)

Fujian: The phenomenon of road icing is expanding.

Affected by the strong cold air that continues southward, the phenomenon of road icing in Fujian Province is expanding. 30 -3 1, there was freezing rain or sleet in Nanping, Sanming, Longyan and Ningde, and the roads were frozen.

Nanping Meteorological Bureau reported that the road from fenshuiguan to Jiangxi in Wuyishan in northern Fujian was frozen due to freezing rain, and the transit vehicles lined up for hundreds of meters.

Diqing disaster relief work was blocked

On the 30th, the heavy snow continued in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and the traffic conditions deteriorated further, making the disaster relief work difficult.

At present, many highway traffic trunk lines, such as Shangri-La-Deqin Section of Line 2 14 from Shangri-La to Xiangcheng Section in Sichuan Province, are interrupted due to deep snow and continuous snowfall. Shangri-La-Weixi has temporarily opened a one-way street, but only cars can pass, and all roads have subgrade damage, landslides, icing and so on to varying degrees. In addition, the rural roads in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are basically interrupted, and only line 2 14 is Shangri-La-Songyuan. The interruption of roads prevented relief supplies from reaching the victims in time. (Reporter Wang Jiangguan Guifeng)

Guizhou: Bad weather continues

On the 30th, Guizhou Meteorological Observatory predicted that there would be light rain on cloudy days in Chishui in the south and north of Guizhou Province from the night of October 30th to the day of February 30th, 65438 1, freezing rain or sleet in the rest of the province, and fog in the west.
