Global warming even very serious

We often think of global warming as something found only in books, magazines, and news daily. We do not have any idea how close we are to the situation that is irreversible and hopeless, and the extent of our land has changed from bad to worse. This is due, perhaps, for our own actions or negligence of willful ignorance continued to warn against over-reliance on fossil fuels, burning, and propellants harmful Khorram Hadzna a precaution against the heat of the sun.
But the risk of global warming is in fact very real. We are now on the threshold of a comprehensive crisis. Some studies is expected that in the next five years, unless the people will take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 6 billion people will die as a result of global warming. And high temperatures are unusual, and the melting of the glaciers gradually we have, and the consequent rise in sea level are just a few telltale signs that climate change is only on the threshold of the door.About 40% of the carbon dioxide that accumulates in the atmosphere comes from the production of electricity, and a stunning 93% comes from burning coal. 33% comes from burning fossil fuels, but is expected to double the percentage due to increased demand for more cars and cars.
Methane gas is an additional threat to the situation. Increased demand for food due to population growth calls for the production on a large scale in the field of livestock, and thus increase the amount of methane and carbon dioxide from the animal waste. Can also come from an unexpected source, at the bottom of the sea in the Arctic. Locked inside the ice crystal structures is the clip of methane, which escapes when melted in the atmosphere, and exacerbate the situation.Trees act as natural air filters that purify the air we breathe. It's our first line of defense against air pollution. It provides us with our life support system, without any form of life which will remain in place. Has lost much of its forests for our manufacturing. Skyscrapers, factories, and a very complex occupies a lot of industrial land, where most of the trees once stood. Far from being our best to restore the natural balance through reforestation ES compared with the large size of the greenhouse gases we accumulate in the atmosphere. It will not be long before they become our oxygen levels are very low and we end up breathing in carbon dioxide than oxygen.The impact of global warming, even very serious, can be traced back to a mere possibility. Unless we deal with the problem seriously, or find another planet suitable for life, the human race does not stand a chance of the consequences of global warming.

What is earthquake? complete guidance

 

Earthquake is one of the natural disasters. The origin can be traced to the early days of the formation of the earth. It is responsible for a lot of damage to living organisms and non-living. For many centuries no man who does not know why earthquakes occur and how they occur and to what extent the damage will be. He believed he was the only one who was angry with Mother Earth and caused the earthquake and that he always feared.It was left to Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, to link this phenomenon of the earthquake to physical factors. According to Aristotle, when the compressed air escapes into the bow, shake it part of the land. This is called the emission of volcanic activity. When the volcano exploded, and a lot of lava, gas and other out of the ground, and the failure of the exit. This causes a pressure imbalance and results in the production of earthquake waves in the surrounding areas. Thus has been identified that volcanic activity is one of the causes of earthquakes. Results of volcanic activity in the crack. To fill the new errors on the movement of the earth takes place. This causes the earthquake.The second reason is the isostatic adjustment. Earth's surface and some of the blocks and barriers set up a certain depression. They keep the balance of the earth, and when the rotor moves the units of the axis. Raised these blocks until it is washed down due to various reasons, and why the imbalance. Earthquakes also occur and then to restore and maintain this balance.We can see that earthquakes usually occur in areas volcano Prime Minister and under the feet of the hills and mountains, as well as any settlement earthquakes occur frequently in China, Japan, the Philippines, and southern parts of the Himalayas, cut off Prime Minister volcano in Europe and parts of North West and South America. It is also likely to occur in the state of Rajasthan in India and Arab countries.One can not say that earthquakes do not occur in other places. They may occur in any part of the world at any time. We are not sure of the very radical Islamic movements from the ground and pressure points and the session. Only in this way one can determine the areas, are likely to occur.All earthquakes do not cause serious damage. Those that are of high density is really dangerous. There are standards to measure the intensity of the earthquake. It was the first one in the scope of Mercall. Is the measure of a qualitative, not quantitative scale, and so are not useful for measuring the density. The second is the Richter scale. Is released from inside the Richter scale. Measured with numbers. If the earthquake measures 7 points on the Richter scale, it causes severe damage because of severe intensity. Perhaps those measuring 5 points and less do not cause much damage.Scientists are now able to study and determine the secondary waves and higher education also in the waves of earthquakes. Scientists are able to study the radical Islamic movements in the wave of the help of a device called a seismograph. Helping one can also predict the possibility of an earthquake is likely, "Where and when is likely to happen.In India more than earthquakes occur in the Himalayas, the Ganges and Brahmaputra valleys. Was signed by only a few earthquakes in the Deccan Plateau. Earthquake, which occurred in 1967 in Icwyna and the earthquake in 1993 in the state of Maharashtra in the last Latour are in this area.And can in this respect than men of natural disasters can not be the only master he becomes a master of nature altogether. This is not possible for a man with limited knowledge of nature has in his leadership.

What is a landslide?

A landslide in the first place is a set of geological processes, which include several movements such as land slope failure and a wide range, falling rocks, and debris flow. This may be terrestrial movements occur in the coastal marine environment, and land. Gravity is the main force that causes landslides, in addition to other benefits that affect the stability of the ground.Usually, the characteristics of the ground, especially the development of subsurface soil conditions that cause the failure of the slope. However, the collapse of the real need to trigger before you can start on it. It is usually possible to identify the origin of the main players landslide victory. Process may be the trigger with respect to weather, or the stimulus that produces an immediate reaction of the slope. Typically, the establishment of such a movement because of a change in the stresses of the slope. These types of geological formations are common in mountainous areas. It will be necessary to install the slopes to reduce the likelihood of landslides.
Triggers landslide:
May be caused by landslides due to many reasons may be active individually or together. Some of the main reasons are:
Rain wide:
Landslide on the trigger was the most rainfall intensity for long periods and heavy. May also occur on the trigger, even if the density of moderate rain, but rain and a high pore pressure. The global survey revealed overwhelming, which was held in 2003, which was activated 90% of the landslides and signed by the heavy rainfall. In the first place, and this is due to step up pressure of water in the pores of the soil.
Melting ice:
In many places the mountain cold, melting snow and frequent, and may be vital to the process of landslides. This is particularly important when the rapid increase in temperature quickly begins melting snow. Production of water seeping into the ground under the layers of impermeable surface. And pore water pressure increased rapidly, causing a landslide at the beginning of the process. This result is particularly important when it is complete weather is hot before adding the rainfall into the groundwater and increase the rate of melting.
Rivers:
Can damage the slopes of the rivers, especially during floods, which caused a landslide. Disorder increases the slope of the gradient slope, and the reduction of stability. In some countries, has been observed in many cases, this process after the floods caused by glacial erosion of a finger along the canal. The flood waves pass, and the earth and the wide sliding usually occurs. This volatility will last for a long time, especially during the subsequent periods of heavy rain and flooding.
Change in water level:
May lead to rapid changes in the ground water level along the slope leading to landslides. This is especially true when the slope of the nearby river or other body of water. As the water level near the slope decreases rapidly, ground water can not dissipate quickly, causing a high water table. Exposed to high shear stress ramp that leads to potential instability. This is one of the most important way in which the river bank fails.
Seismic shaking:
Seismic waves through the rocks and the ground accelerations that creates a change from the forces of gravity on a slope. Change the vertical acceleration, respectively, the load on the slope. Acceleration caused by the horizontal shear force due to inertia overwhelming. This complex process, and can be sufficient to cause the failure of the slope. These operations are large in mountainous areas where seismic waves cause an increase in the acceleration of the earth. This is called the development of topographic amplification. The greatest acceleration usually occurs at the top of the slope or near the line of hills.
Liquefaction:
Can not be the movement of earthquake waves through the earth produces liquefaction. During this process, and the shaking causes the lower area of ??the pores. High density of pore pressure increase in the ground. Granular materials are changed to the flow of slides that are fast and can be very devastating.
Landslide warning technology:
And the physical destruction and loss of life caused by landslides fears of many people. So, put the sensors that are used for landslide warning and detection by monitoring the slope, displacement, and rainfall, and flow. A careful analysis of these data help to identify weaknesses and pressure of underground water. Data on the rate of movement of the slide are available that can predict the state of the landslide. Geotechnical analysis can, including the study of the stability of the slope, and seismic behavior, and assessment of the site is useful to provide early warning of a landslide. Sensors can also provide early information about severe weather, and slope conditions that are unsafe.

Climate change in worlds major cites

The most populous cities on earthquake fault lines include Mexico City, New York, Mumbai, Delhi, Shanghai, Kolkata, Jakarta and Tokyo, according to the U.N.'s International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.Many people also live in parts of urban areas vulnerable to landslides and floods, which are anticipated to occur more often as a result of climate change, Wahlstrom said, also warning of rising risks from "silent events" like droughts.Of the 373 disasters recorded last year, 22 were in China, 16 were in India and 14 were in the Philippines.The storms, earthquakes, heatwaves and cold snaps affected 207 million people and killed 296,800, according to the data, which does not incorporate an increase of Haiti's death toll announced earlier this month by Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.The global toll estimates that 55,736 people died from a summer heatwave in Russia which led to crop failures and helped drive up food prices.It also says 2,968 people were killed in an April earthquake in China and 1,985 died from the Pakistani floods.The 2009 economic price tag of $34.9 billion was unusually low because of the lack of a major weather or climate event in the period, which nonetheless saw floods and typhoons in Asia and an earthquake in Indonesia.A major earthquake in China in 2008 caused $86 billion in damage, bringing that year's economic toll to approximately $200 billion. In 2005, the hurricanes that struck the southern United States drove up the global disaster toll to nearly $250 billion.

Beiging earthquake

The death toll in China's major earthquake by 4820 to 60,560 as of noon today, according to the Information Office of the State Council. And injured 352,290 people and 26,221 missing in the quake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale hit the southwestern Sichuan Province on May 12 was affected by a total of 45.5 million people in the quake, were evacuated nearly 14.4 million quake-affected people, according to the office. He said 27 aftershocks measuring magnitude 5 above, and four above magnitude 6, and as of Monday noon, 178 aftershocks were monitored power above 4 on the Richter scale struck in Sichuan, and among them, in the office. Sources and medical treatment of victims of the earthquake, nearly 290,000. Has been in the hospital a total of 75,086 injured victims after the earthquake. Among them, 40,644 have been discharged from hospitals 0.23864 are still in the hospital and transferred to other hospitals out of 4274 of Sichuan for treatment. And reached the domestic and foreign donations for earthquake survivors reached 26.1 billion yuan in cash and goods, up 1.5 billion yuan from the previous day. Of the total, transferred 3.68 billion yuan for disaster railway area.The whole Baoji - Chengdu, were damaged by the earthquake, the key road between the north and south in the west of China, linking Chengdu with Baoji city in neighboring Shaanxi Province, to open the Saturday after the passage of 283 hours of closure, allowing batch transport of disaster relief goods to Sichuan. Train carrying relief supplies are urgently needed tents and medicines passed through the railway tunnel No. 109 at 9:53 on Saturday morning, where a freight train of 40 vehicles off the tracks and was trapped, paralyzing the railway in the May 12 earthquake. Electricity was restored partially in 16 counties in Sichuan by Saturday noon, but the blackout was still two hardest hit counties (Beichuan and Lixian) out. Resumed services of telecommunications in all quake regions, except for Hongguang Town, Qingchuan. Hongguang residents were evacuated because of fears of possible further geological disasters.

powerfull Japan disaster

Government agency the Nuclear Regulatory taught with a focus on five scenarios, including the possibility of the earthquake on both the tsunami struck the reactor, and when assessing the nuclear safety under the title of "stress tests" What is called for inclusion in the wake of the crisis Daiichi Fukushima, government sources said Wednesday.The Agency for Nuclear Safety and industrial aims to compile the draft plan, later this week, perhaps, for how they will conduct safety assessments, which will be implemented in two phases. And another watchdog, the Commission on nuclear safety, check whether the project plan reactors appropriate.Nuclear idled for a regular check-ups will be subject for the first stage for the resumption of the process, with the study of the extent of assistance that key facilities will be able to withstand damage in the event of severe natural disasters on the scale more expected.waves of tsunami to the compound of Gush near the Unit 4 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear complex in the Dai Ichi Okuma, Fukushima prefecture, northeast of Japan.The the second phase of tests will be more comprehensive and implemented in all nuclear power plants. Based on these results, Japan's nuclear reactors that are currently in a process that can be suspended.The sources said that the first phase of the analysis may adopt a simpler method of the second stage, in a way that does not go away from what has been achieved to reduce the actual study, but whether can withstand a certain level of impact.The method called PSA uses the digital data representing all possible accidents and the frequency of earthquakes that may occur in nuclear power plants and their impact. But can not evaluate each of the five cases by method.Of five scenarios, the two remaining from the reactor when it loses power, and when you are working to take the heat from the reactor using sea water, but fails. And flooded the road leading to the compound of Dai Ichi Fukushima nuclear power plant as the tsunami struck established after the devastating earthquake in the town of Okuma, Fukushima prefecture, northeast of Japan.The stages I and II of the analysis conducted by the utilities operating nuclear power will provide plants and agency of nuclear safety, and will consider the decision of the Agency by the Nuclear Safety Commission.

Distribution infrastructure (AJK)

A senior official of the planning committee in the government is going to start a project of Rs 165.13 million for the restoration of infrastructure for the distribution of power that were damaged by the floods in 2010, heavy rains and ground sliding, and Pakistan as observers. "The main objective of the project is to restore power to areas affected by floods in the state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), which totally or partially damaged by the floods in July and August 2010." Sponsoring agency is the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit while the AJK Electricity Department is the executing agency. To overcome the damage in AJK, has developed a strategy for the construction and rehabilitation of the existing system on the basis of war damages provided through financial aid to China."The reconstruction of infrastructure for distribution in AJK reverse the devastating effects of flooding and the revival of economic activity in the regions and enable people to return to normal life, and the provision of electricity to areas that were turned into darkness because of damage to electrical and said work." This project will support the Government of AJK to achieve the target set to collect the revenue official sector.The industrial, agricultural and social Floods and heavy rains damaged the ground and sliding the line of 11KV, 0.4-volt lines, distribution transformers and other equipment in different areas of AJK. The project was designed to restore and rehabilitate the infrastructure of energy to the pre-flood level.Planning wing of the Commission's assessment and said that was not disposed of the equipment and replace the damaged material referred to. Has sponsored work on the income from the damaged equipment (transformers and columns). It was reported that wing may be provided tangible benefits after the completion of the project including the increase in revenue to the Planning Commission. He also pointed out that the sponsors did not mention the annual operating and maintenance costs and 2807000 Rs. "This project is rehabilitation rather than new projects. May justify the sponsors of the annual operating and maintenance costs, because the project is not new project, and part of the original project."

Pakistan floods update

Dumping nearly one year after devastating floods vast areas of land in various parts of Pakistan, which affects more than 20 million people, many of the survivors are still struggling to rebuild their lives in the monsoon season this year is about to rain start.The The first season of 2011 began to fall, according to the Meteorological Office, and this raises anxiety.He good reason to fear. Said Kamal Ahmed, spokesman for the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), last week, floods killed seven people in South Waziristan after heavy rains led to the houses collapsing.Early this month, the media in Islamabad that the authority had worked out a plan emergency for an emergency new floods. "NDMA following two plans to flooding, including a plan for the worst-case scenario under which they can be affected for up to six million people, and the likely scenario under which 2.2 million people could be a potential victim," as many said.But still skeptical. "My fields have been destroyed, reduced to my house of sticks of wood, and my wrist was broken while trying to save my family," said Azeemullah Khan, a village in Charsadda district. "I'm still struggling to earn a living or just put food on the table. Helped some NGOs to us at first, but then left us alone." Warned Emergency Relief Coordinator of the United Nations Valerie Amos last week, "according to officials government does not mean anything to me. families affected by floods in the need to continue to provide support to rebuild their lives. monsoon 2011, is about to start and up to two million people and once again in danger of flooding, due in part to lack of funds for reconstruction ". there is a need for significant efforts immediately to reduce the vulnerability of these families and the implementation of urgent healing and prevention of flood preparedness work on the banks of the river, and irrigation canals and other infrastructure."
"The [2010] floods had a severe impact on people's lives, homes and property," said the report of the Government's assessment: "Most people do not know when it will be able to resume their lives," and the floods, it noted, wiped out "severely damaged" about 2 per cent of the Pakistan's annual growth rate and $ 10 billion on economic infrastructure. "The flood-affected areas and was always lagging behind in terms of social and economic indicators, education, compared with areas not affected by the floods," the report said. He added that "the loss of livelihoods and infrastructure, pushing them behind the other. The people most affected are mostly small farmers and unskilled workers." At least 1,200 people died in the floods, and the second in the world in the worst 10 years, according to the center, based in Belgium for research Epidemiology of Disasters.According Amos to the UN, there is still a need for more than $ 600 million to support early recovery activities, including water wells, the rehabilitation and renewal and primary health care system and the rebuilding of schools. "I'm very concerned," said Fahin the Federal Investigation Agency official, "the lack of funds prevents the pre-positioning of necessary medical supplies, and the continued beyond July of diseases at the provincial level early warning system."

karachi earthquake

The earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 jolted southwestern Pakistan, said U.S. Geological Survey in the early morning on Wednesday.Urban populations far apart as far as New Delhi and Dubai, but no significant damage to an area with low population density.Earthquake that occurred in Karachi and Hyderabad, Quetta, Jaffarabad, while the tremors felt in Lahore and Sargodha.The strength of the quake at more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) underground near a town in Baluchistan province Dalbandin, near the Afghan border, Iranian, and said the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).U.S. Agency revised a preliminary estimate that the earthquake was very shallow, ranging from 7.4, and said it was probably at a depth of 52 miles (83 km), 55 km (34 miles) west of Dalbandin, the city with about 15,000 people in the center.Poor communication delayed reports received from the remote area, but despite the strength of the shock, and depth of the damage appears to be limited. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was much shallower than the first.Residents in large cities as far apart as the Indian capital New Delhi, said the emirate of Dubai, I felt fear about how people in Karachi, although there are no early reports of injuries or damage there.In Quetta, 330 kilometers (205 miles) northeast of the epicenter, a woman died in hospital of a heart attack after the quake, officials said at the hospital. In Karachi, 400 km (250 miles), and people rushed from their homes by the quake."I felt my bed shaking. I woke up and ran to check on the children," said Rizvi impeccable. "It was very scary, I've never felt anything like this before."He said the tsunami center in the Pacific, said the quake did not cause a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.A strong earthquake of this size is capable of causing widespread damage and heavy.
Distance from the center of famous places are:
55 km (34 miles) W (271 degrees) of Dalbandin, Pakistan
263 km (164 miles) W (269 degrees) of Kalat, Pakistan
301 km (187 miles) east (102 degrees) of Zahedan, Iran
793 km (493 miles) northeast (41 degrees) from Muscat, Sultanate of Oman
He died on October 8, 2005 earthquake of 7.6 magnitude at a distance of 95 km northeast of Islamabad, about 70,000 people.Major earthquake of this size, if the shallow depths and close to urban centers, is able to inflict serious damage and serious, and can put pressure on Pakistan after the devastating floods in the past year, more than 10 million people homeless.

heavey rain and Khyber pakhtunkhw already started and soon hits northern Pakistan

Sometimes the challenges of responding countries, as is the case with Pakistan has been unable to do so.There was some recovery after the flood was due to the resilience of the people. Like most people in the country and state in their own hands and took his life, the best, a secondary player.. In summary, the assumption that the poor were strong and knew how to deal with disasters and life goes on. We have offered several recommendations unimplemented, mainly related to local governments.The provinces last year's flood was the biggest lesson is not learned. Without effective local governments, natural disasters can not be handled properly. A year has passed and no progress on this important area seems. District, tehsil and union level officials appointed by the Central Council has no option for officers and volunteers. Civil Defence dying, and most importantly, the provincial disaster management authorities (excluding KP) has hardly stopped and the National Disaster Management Authority resourced.Most worryingly, (NDMA) from one crisis to another I would have been moved. This funding is limited, the staff is suboptimal capacity. But those are not enough when you need an active and efficient institutions. Despite the 18th Amendment, the role of NDMA in contact is important.are still unrepaired. It is also the provincial irrigation departments to rehabilitate the vulnerable points or not is not clear. The government is about to take people into confidence. The rain started before, killing dozens, and KP and northern Pakistan are expected to hit soon. Sindh and southern Punjab are as vulnerable as before.
It's time for action and emergency planning. Media and civil society to ensure that the Government failed to discharge its primary responsibility should not be. Weak democratic governments must show commitment to the poor. Furthermore, a national climate change policy and regional strategy is needed. We long for the short-term political gain 'policy' will be postponed?

What are natural disasters? Awareness about natural disasters

And natural disasters and disasters caused by nature, such as floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, avalanches and lahars (mudslides, volcanic eruptions), landslides, sewage, snow storms, droughts, hailstorms, heat waves, hurricanes and tropical storms, hurricanes and ice ages, and hurricanes, and forest fires. The epidemics in some cases caused by bacteria or viruses, natural disasters, but in some cases to a different category. Can also be biological threat such as locusts or poisonous mushrooms are natural disasters disaster.Some is on the edge of the natural and unnatural. May be caused by famine and chronic food shortages, through a combination of natural and human factors. Two space groups originating from natural disasters, both human beings rarely impact on the surface, including collision of asteroids and solar flares. Although the risk of asteroid impact in the short term may be low, and some scientists say that in the long term, and the possibility of death, the asteroid is similar to that of death from natural disasters, conventional, such as natural disasters, deadly disease.The and famine, and claimed the 70 million people during the century 20 units, 30 million die of famine in China during 1958-1961. In the Soviet Union there were many man-made famine that killed millions, the blame on the policies of Stalin's mass, the leader of the country at that time. Famines have a history of highlighting the worst in people, including atrocities and cannibalism.Increasing awareness of natural disasters all over the world and make people around the planet recognize the importance of preparing for a wide range of crisis. The third world and rich countries alike vulnerable to death and destruction from a multitude of nature deadly rescue and relief efforts acts.Since backward often days behind the event, personal, family, community and disaster preparedness is the key to disaster statistics survival.Recent reveal that survival depends on more than just ignore the initial impact of nature's fury, and the key to live often lies in the planning for such an event before it happens. May be the difference between life and death in days or weeks after the disaster lies in the existence of a simple and keep working to find out what take.information meet the special needs of the most vulnerable of our citizens, and the very young and those with special needs and the elderly. Planning for their care, individual and community can save lives and grief that does not describe

china flood death tool 1,072. 619 people(aprox) missing

China's worst flooding in more than a decade has killed nearly 1,000 people across the country and stranded tens of thousands in the northeast without power.
The state-run flood control office said 968 people have been killed since the rainy beginning of the year and 507 others are missing.More heavy rains were expected for the southeast, southwest and northeast parts of the country through Thursday.About 30,000 residents in Kouqian town were trapped in their homes after torrential rains drenched the northeastern province of Jilin on Wednesday, the official Xinhua news agency reported.Water began flooding the town after the nearby Xingshan Reservoir and the Wende and Songhua rivers overflowed. Rescuers were delivering supplies by boat and moving people to higher ground.In Jilin city in Jilin province, workers were busy recovering thousands of barrels of chemicals that had tumbled into the Songhua River after a flood swept through a local factory."The worry this year has been on the dams and the reservoirs ... This year it's been so much extra rainfall, about 15 per cent more than usual. "That complicates the situation because the reservoirs are getting full and the dams are nearing their maximum capacity."Flooding has hit areas all over China. A total of 875,000 homes have collapsed and almost 10 million people have been evacuated, according to Xinhua.The Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric project, has reached 90 per cent of its full capacity.Thousands of workers have sandbagged riverbanks and checked reservoirs in preparation for potential floods expected to flow from the swollen Yangtze and Han rivers, an official with the Yangtze Water Resources Commission, said.
"Right now, the Han river in Hubei province is on the verge breaching warning levels".The Han is expected to rise this week to its highest level in two decades.Workers were prepared to blast holes in the river's embankment to divert flood waters into a low-lying area of farms and fish ponds, Xinhua said.
The toll in floods triggered by torrential rains in China this year has reached 1,072, while 619 people are still missing.The floods have affected over 140 million people in 28 provinces and caused economic losses estimated at almost 210 billion yuan, said Shu Qingpeng, deputy director of the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief.Floods also destroyed over 1.1 million homes and damaged 9.72 million hectares of farmland.Rivers like the Yangtze, the Yellow and the Songhua were all swollen to danger levels after heavy rains. Authorities have evacuated 10.42 million people this year from areas at risk of flooding.

"we must anticipate big disasters" china flood killed more than 700 people

Flooding in China that has killed more than 700 people this year However officials, in the first high-level media briefing on weeks of deadly flooding plaguing much of the country's southern half, said a disaster on the scale of historic 1998 flooding on the Yangtze River would likely be averted.A total of 701 people have died so far this year in flooding that has also left 347 people missing, Liu Ning, head of the country's flood control authority and vice-minister of water resources.the annual rainy season would continue at least through August, and that more downpours were expected, further straining reservoirs and other water control projects, especially as the East Asian typhoon season has just begun.During this period there will be heavy rainfall and serious floods. The rainfall will continue.meteorologists expected heavy rains could spread to northern China, possibly causing flooding along major rivers such as the Huai, Yellow and Songhua.In these rivers they haven't seen major floods in many years and they are very likely to see some soon. So we must anticipate big disasters.Tens of thousands of homes and other structures have been destroyed in floods and landslides, and economic losses have hit at least 142 billion yuan ($A23.8 billion), with 110 million people affected.The number of deaths and figures for damage are China's worst in 10 years.The floods have dominated the country's attention for weeks, with state television each day broadcasting dramatic images of villagers being rescued from raging rivers or plucked from rooftops in inundated villages.The situation has triggered fears China could see a repeat of the disastrous flooding of 1998, when heavy rain swelled the Yangtze, China's longest river, and many tributaries, leading to a series of devastating levee collapses.At least 4150 people were believed to have died, 18 million were evacuated and millions of homes were destroyed in the floods, the country's worst in recent memory.rainfall levels, although extremely high, have remained 20 per cent lower than those of 1998.And although the upper reaches of the Yangtze drainage basin have seen the highest flood peak since 1987,the dam would prevent flood surges on the river's upper and lower reaches from "converging" as they did in 1998.the government was now feverishly co-ordinating the release of water by dams throughout the region to maintain a smooth flow.The Three Gorges Dam is now playing an effective role in flood control.

Beijing china earthquake destroyed 18,445 houses

An earthquake toppled more than 1,000 houses and apartment buildings in China's southwest near the border with Myanmar on Thursday, killing at least 24 people and injuring more than 200, The magnitude-5.8 quake was centered in Yingjiang and struck just before 1 p.m. (0500 GMT) at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers). The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake at a magnitude of 5.4 and at a deeper 21 miles (35 kilometers).Some 1,200 houses or apartments were crushed by the quake, said Zhao Yunshan, director of Yingjiang government press office. More than 127,000 people have been evacuated to nearby shelters, Xinhua reported, citing the Civil Affairs Ministry.According to the USGS, more than 1 million people may have been exposed to the worst shaking.Vice President Xi Jinping, expected to be the country's next leader, called for an "all-out" effort to get food, water and clothing to those affected by the quake, Xinhua said.Tremors continued to be felt in the area throughout the afternoon and evening, according to CCTV reporter Shu Qian, who was at the disaster scene in Yingjiang County.The quake's epicenter was in Shiming Village, just over a mile (two kilometers) from the county seat, but triggered a power outage across Yingjiang, which has a population of about 300,000 people, Xinhua said.By evening, the power supply was still cut off, though water and communications didn't appear to be damaged, Shu said.A government team that includes the Civil Affairs Ministry has been dispatched to the quake-stricken area. About 5,000 tents, 10,000 quilts and 10,000 coats are also being sent from the central government.The mountainous area lies 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) southwest of Beijing, close to the border with Myanmar, and is home to many ethnic groups on both sides of the border, which sees heavy traffic in people and goods.Xinhua said the quake-prone region has been hit by more than 1,000 minor tremors over the past two months.The Myanmar Meteorological Department released a statement saying a quake had hit some 230 miles (370 kilometers) northeast of Mandalay, the country's second-largest city.The statement did not mention injuries, damage or the specific area of Myanmar most affected by the quake. Authorities in the tightly ruled country tend not to immediately discuss the effects of natural disasters.Much of the area on the Myanmar side been under the control of various armed ethnic groups, who have battled the Myanmar military to remain free from central government control.BEIJING, March 12 About 127,100 residents have been evacuated to safety after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake hit Yingjiang County in southwest China's Yunnan Province Thursday, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Saturday.As of 10 p.m. Friday, the earthquake has left 25 people dead and more than 250 others injured including 134 seriously, the ministry said in a report.All the casualties were reported in Yingjiang County, with the surrounding counties including Longchuan, Lianghe, Ruili and Luxi reporting damages of thousands of houses or apartments, it said.The earthquake has affected the production and life of about 344,600 residents in the five counties.The earthquake destroyed 18,445 houses and apartments and left 55,345 others seriously damaged, the ministry's figures showed.
