Characteristics, Challenges and Suggestions of Geological Disaster Prevention and Control in China

Abstract

Abstract Geological disasters are prone, predominant and frequent in China; China has become one of the countries with the most sudden geological disasters in the world. China has initially established comprehensive prevention and control system which take investigation and evaluation, monitoring and early warning, treatment and disposal as its core by the end of 2018. There are still many challenges in the prevention and control of geological disasters in China, first, the accuracy of survey and evaluation is obviously insufficient, second, the professional level of group monitoring and prevention needs to be improved, third, the prevention and control of geological disaster and land spatial planning have not been planned as a whole. Four suggestions are put forward: the first is to improve the accuracy of geological survey and evaluation, the second is to improve the monitoring and early warning capacity, the third is to increase the control of land spatial planning, and the fourth is to improve the scientific and technological support capacity.
