The Construction of a Meteorological Mechanism for Agricultural Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

Meteorological disasters have long been blamed as the leading causes of agricultural disasters, indicating how weak we are in our ability of disaster prevention and mitigation. The necessity and feasibility of agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation capacity construction were analyzed and the status quo of its mechanism discussed. It is found that the managing system for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation is incomplete; the monitoring and early warning system and infor- mation sharing mechanism remain to be further improved; a multi-party collective action mechanism remains to be constructed. Thus a design scheme for the construction of an efficient mechanism for agricultural meteorological disaster prevention and mit- igation is put forth: to complete the organizing system for rural meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation; to recruit a team of disaster prevention and mitigation informants; to step up the teaching and publicizing of disaster prevention and mitiga- tion know-how; thus from the two aspects of basic content and procedures, a high-efficiency paradigm for agricultural meteoro- logical disaster prevention and mitigation is set up.
