Abstract
Dongting Lake is one of the most difficult areas in China in terms of flood control. Flood disasters have been getting more and more serious since the 1900s. The causes of the flood disaster formation in Dongting Lake are discussed in this paper. The non-engineering disaster mitigation measures are explored correspondingly. By comparing flood disasters from different years in this area, the non-engineering measures are proved to be efficient efforts to mitigate flood disaster. Generally, these measures are: establishment of the advanced flood control forecast and decision-support system, which is the basis of the non-engineering disaster mitigation measures; scientific flood diversion, which is the essence of the non-engineering disaster mitigation measures; consummation of the mass-based flood control system working as the organizational guarantee for the non-engineering disaster mitigation measures; and relative laws and policies, which are the legal requirements. The establishment and consummation of these measures have played an important role in the flood disaster mitigation in Dongting Lake
