How to defend against storms and floods?

First, efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of rainstorm forecast and climate forecast in flood season. At present, short-term climate prediction is still a worldwide problem, and the scientificity, accuracy and reliability of monthly, seasonal and annual climate prediction need to be further improved. The second is to strengthen climate monitoring and deepen the study of rainstorm and rainstorm and flood disasters. The climatic characteristics, causes and disaster-causing mechanism of heavy rain are deeply studied and analyzed.

The third is to comprehensively improve the meteorological support service capacity, improve the disaster emergency system, effectively defend and reasonably avoid disasters and prevent disasters under the guidance of emergency agencies, evacuate people safely, and minimize the loss of meteorological disasters. Fourth, carry out disaster assessment in time, establish and develop disaster impact assessment model, realize quantitative assessment of disaster impact, and provide disaster monitoring and early warning information and technical measures to mitigate disaster impact for the government, decision-making departments and the public. Fifth, it is necessary to strengthen engineering measures to prevent storms and floods, strengthen the construction and management of flood diversion and storage areas, improve laws and regulations, manage and use flood diversion and storage areas well, build a flood diversion and storage area engineering system, and adopt cascade construction and hierarchical management for flood diversion and storage areas.

Sixth, strengthen afforestation, control soil erosion, maintain ecological balance and improve the ecological environment. Seventh, establish a long-term mechanism for publicity and education on meteorological disaster prevention and reduction, incorporate disaster reduction education into the compulsory education system for citizens, widely publicize and educate the society in various forms, enhance people's awareness of disaster prevention and avoidance, and prevent and mitigate the losses caused by meteorological disasters to the national economy and people's property.
