Abstract:

This article is based on the practice of comprehensive assessment of large-scale natural disasters in China in recent years. It elaborates on the comprehensive assessment of affected area, damage extent, and direct economic losses in large-scale natural disasters. The result of rapid assessment of large-scale natural disaster is the basis of emergency rescue and relocation of disaster-affected population; the result of comprehensive assessment of large-scale natural disaster is the basis for disaster recovery and reconstruction planning. By integrating comprehensive field investigation, remote sensing monitoring, modeling, and local level reporting of disaster impact data, accuracy and precision of the result of assessment of large-scale natural disasters can be improved. In order to develop a scientific and effective large-scale natural disaster assessment indicator system, further improvements in practice of integrated assessment are needed.

Key words: large-scale natural disaster, integrated assessment, indicator system
