Abstract

Most provinces in southern China suffered from low-temperature freezing rain and snow disaster at the beginning of 2008. Based on the data about the situation of the disaster reported by newspapers and weather forecast information of Hunan province, the paper thoroughly analyzes many problems in the meteorological disasters emergency responses, including the faultiness of meteorological disasters emergency response mechanism, the absence of meteorological disaster integrated risk appraisal, and the failure of risk communication. And then we bring forward the concept of “Meteorological Disaster Integrated Risk” as an indicator factor, to reflect meteorological disasters in many integrated risk chains in terms of the interaction between natural and human dimensions. Finally, we establish a meteorological disaster integrated risk governance paradigm according to disaster processes. It is important to improve meteorological disaster integrated risk appraisals and to constitute an emergency disposition of social linkage mechanism based on effective risk communication mechanism.
