National Disaster Reduction Committee： The national natural disaster risk survey identified the disaster resistance of key areas.

　　Cctv newsOn the morning of February 15th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters and answer reporters’ questions.　　

　　Zheng Guoguang, Secretary-General of the National Disaster Reduction Committee and Director of the Office of the First National Comprehensive Risk Survey of Natural Disasters in the State Council, said that in the past three years, all the member units and regions of the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters in the State Council organized nearly 5 million professional and technical personnel nationwide, and obtained billions of national disaster risk factor data, and completed the tasks of general survey, data quality inspection and submission. At present, the survey data are being used to carry out disaster risk assessment and zoning at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels.

　　The task of disaster risk survey is to comprehensively obtain the data of disaster-causing factors of 23 kinds of disasters in 6 categories, including earthquake disasters, geological disasters, meteorological disasters, floods and droughts, marine disasters and forest and grassland fires, the data of 27 kinds of disaster-bearing bodies in 6 categories, including population, housing, infrastructure, public service system, industry, resources and environment, and the data of 16 kinds of comprehensive disaster reduction capabilities in 3 categories, including government, society and grass-roots families. Since 1978,

　　In the past three years, under the unified organization and leadership of the leading group for the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters in the State Council, the survey task has been fully completed through the concerted efforts of all parties. For example, the housing and urban-rural construction industry has obtained the construction data of nearly 600 million urban and rural houses and more than 800,000 municipal facilities nationwide. The transportation industry has completed the investigation of more than 5 million kilometers of road network, more than 900,000 bridges and tunnels, more than 6,000 coastal berths above 10,000 tons and inland river berths above 1,000 tons, and 15,000 kilometers of third-class and above inland river channels. The forestry and grass industry has completed more than 110 thousand forest and grassland combustible sample surveys, and nearly 800 thousand laboratory samples have been tested. The natural resources geological industry has carried out geological disaster risk surveys in 2081 counties (autonomous regions and municipalities), and has mastered more than 280,000 hidden danger data of geological disasters in China. The marine industry has completed the investigation of 13,900 (segment) marine disaster-bearing bodies and more than 6,000 key hidden dangers. The water conservancy industry has completed the investigation of reservoirs, sluices, dikes and other water conservancy facilities in China, and obtained more than 70,000 data of drought-induced disasters. The emergency management industry cooperated with education, health, cultural tourism and other industries to obtain more than 700,000 public service facilities, nearly 150,000 hazardous chemical enterprises (including gas filling stations), more than 30,000 non-coal mines (including tailings ponds) and coal mines, 4.5 million pieces of comprehensive disaster reduction capacity data, and more than 2.3 million pieces of annual historical natural disaster data. The eco-environmental industry has obtained 23,000 pieces of national survey data on civil nuclear facilities.The meteorological industry has obtained 6.64 million pieces of information on disaster-causing factors of 10 meteorological disasters. The seismic industry has obtained drilling data of seismic engineering geological conditions of more than 27,000 sites.

　　In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Bureau of Statistics, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. and other departments and units organize relevant investigations or provide relevant data according to the division of tasks, and share relevant data such as communication facilities, crop distribution, population census and economic census, insurance enterprises and railways. The Ministry of Finance arranges special funds to support the census work. The Development and Reform Commission, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, the Energy Bureau, and the Central Military Commission’s Joint War Insurance Bureau actively participated in the formulation of census plans and technical specifications, the coordination of investigation work, and the application of results.

　　The quality, completeness and standardization of data is the difficulty and focus of general survey, and it is also an important basis for disaster risk assessment and zoning. According to the work plan and the division of tasks, the industry departments and localities involved in the survey carried out quality inspection of survey data at different levels and by industry. The industry departments of natural resources, ecological environment, housing and urban and rural construction, transportation, water conservancy, emergency, meteorology, forestry and grass, earthquake and other industries respectively formulated quality inspection plans for survey data, developed quality inspection software, and organized a team of experts to carry out quality inspection of survey data, including spot checks. Those who failed the quality inspection were returned for rectification. The survey data submitted to the State Council Census Office should be comprehensively inspected, that is, the integrity and standardization of the data should be checked, and those that fail should be returned to the industry department for rectification, thus ensuring the quality and reliability of the survey data.

　　Through the investigation, we have basically found out the hidden dangers of natural disasters in China, identified the disaster resistance of key areas, laid a solid foundation for comprehensive disaster risk assessment and zoning, trained local disaster prevention and mitigation management and technical teams, and created a good social atmosphere in which the whole society cares, participates and supports disaster prevention and mitigation.
