Analysis on the characteristics of geological disasters and effectiveness of early warning duiring heavy rainfall on “23•7” in Beijing

Abstract

Extreme rainfall is often accompanied by mass geological disasters, which seriously endangers the safety of people 's lives and property in prone areas and affects the healthy development of the economy and society. Summarizing and analyzing the time-space distribution characteristics of geological disasters due to extreme rainfall and the effectiveness of early warning is of great significance for improving the comprehensive defense ability against geological disasters. Taking the sudden geological disasters caused by “23•7” heavy rainfall in 2023 as the research object, based on the refined precipitation data from the Beijing sudden geological disaster monitoring and early warning system, the time-space distribution characteristics of “23•7” heavy rainfall and the development and distribution characteristics of geological disasters were analyzed, and the early warning effect of geological disasters was discussed. The results show that the“23•7”heavy rainfall has the characteristics such as a large total amount, strong rainfall, long duration and wide range, and the disasters due to extreme rainfall have the characteristics of group occurrence. The multi-dimensional early warning of geological disaster classification has achieved remarkable results and has achieved the goal of zero casualties due to geological disasters under extreme weather conditions. The research results can provide a reference for actively preventing and scientifically responding to extreme rainfall geological disasters.
