Abstract
The past several years have witnessed the toughest period of natural disasters in Chinese history, in terms of frequency and concurrency, as well as variability in damage and recurrences. The Chinese government takes action quickly and engages in disaster emergency response and disaster relief work with huge human resource and material inputs. We have made great efforts in fighting against catastrophic natural disasters such as the low-temperature induced snowstorm in Southern China ( 2008), the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Province (2008), the Yushu earthquake in Qinghai Province (2010), the Zhouqu mountain torrents and mudslide in Gansu Province (2010), and the Lushan earthquake in Sichuan Province (2013). With accumulated experience and through improving the legal and institutional frameworks, as well as with improved disaster mitigation and prevention measures, we have lifted our disaster resilience to a new level, reduced disaster losses, and contributed to the economic and social sustainability of the affected regions.
