China News Service, June 13. According to the WeChat public account of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Natural Resources announced on the 13th the national geological disaster disaster situation from January to May 2022 and the geological disaster trend forecast in June.
From January to May, a total of 552 geological disasters occurred nationwide, resulting in 22 deaths, 5 missing, and 10 injuries, with a direct economic loss of 197.4514 million yuan.
In terms of disaster types, there were 208 landslides, 280 collapses, 12 debris flows, and 52 ground collapses.
From the perspective of disaster level, there were 5 extra-large geological disasters, 2 large-scale geological disasters, 10 medium-sized geological disasters, and 535 small-scale geological disasters.
Compared with the same period of the previous year, the number of geological disasters decreased by 28.4%, and the number of deaths and missing persons and direct economic losses increased by 285.7% and 149.4% respectively.
Compared with the average of the same period of the previous five years, the number of geological disasters and the number of deaths and missing persons decreased by 24.0% and 6.9% respectively, and the direct economic losses caused by them increased by 39.2%.
From January to May, a total of 38 geological disasters were successfully predicted nationwide, involving 1,133 possible casualties and avoiding direct economic losses of 64.35 million yuan.
In May, a total of 271 geological disasters occurred nationwide, resulting in 16 deaths, 2 missing and 2 injuries, with a direct economic loss of 96.9588 million yuan.
In terms of the type of disaster, there were 127 landslides, 119 collapses, 11 debris flows, and 14 ground collapses.
From the perspective of disaster level, there were 3 extra-large geological disasters, 1 large-scale geological disaster, 8 medium-sized geological disasters, and 259 small-scale geological disasters.
Compared with the same period of the previous year, the number of geological disasters decreased by 41.8%, and the number of deaths and missing persons and direct economic losses increased by 1700.0% and 132.3% respectively.
Compared with the average of the same period in the previous five years, the number of geological disasters decreased by 24.1%, and the number of deaths and missing persons and direct economic losses increased by 80.0% and 38.1% respectively.
In May, a total of 24 geological disasters were successfully predicted nationwide, involving 964 possible casualties and avoiding direct economic losses of 53.29 million yuan.
According to the regularity of occurrence of geological disasters for many years and related meteorological forecasts, in June, the whole country began to enter the main flood season, and geological disasters entered a period of high incidence and high incidence.
According to the multi-year occurrence pattern of geological disasters and related meteorological forecasts, it is estimated that in June this year, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi in East China, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi in Central and South China, and Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan in Southwest China. , Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, western Xinjiang and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the northwest region are at higher risk of geological disasters; among them, western Zhejiang, southeastern Anhui, northeastern Jiangxi, central Hunan, southern Sichuan, Local areas such as northwestern Yunnan are at high risk of geological disasters.
Mountainous and hilly areas in East China, Central South, and Southwest China should strengthen the prevention of landslides, debris flows and other geological disasters caused by local heavy precipitation; the northwest loess area should do a good job in preventing the collapse of the loess plateau edge, landslides, and debris flows caused by local precipitation; the Three Gorges The reservoir area has begun to enter a concentrated period of collapse, landslide deformation and dangerous occurrences. Most areas of the superimposed reservoir area have more rainfall than normal, so it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and early warning of geological disasters in the reservoir area; Wenchuan, Ludian, Yiliang, Lushan, Shigatse, Earthquake-affected areas such as Mojiang, Jiuzhaigou, Changning, Yangbi and Maduo need to strengthen the prevention of debris flow and landslide geological disasters.
Strengthen the risk prevention of geological disasters along the roads that have been built or under construction, major engineering areas, industrial and mining areas, tourist attractions, slope cutting points for rural housing construction, and old protection projects.
