General situation of flood and geological disasters:

In 2014, Honggang and geological disasters caused 72.0001 million person times of disasters in 29 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), 631 people died, 97 people were missing, and 3.47 million people were urgently transferred and resettled; 269,000 houses collapsed and 1.231 million were damaged to varying degrees; the disaster area of crops was 47389000 hectares, of which 6282000 hectares were lost, and the direct economic loss was 102.98 billion yuan.

Affected by extreme rainfall, 483 counties (cities, districts) were affected by the extreme rainfall, especially the waterlogging in some urban areas in southern China, which greatly affected people's production and living, transportation and infrastructure. In late May, 13 sections of 5 national highways and 136 sections of 27 provincial roads in Guangdong were destroyed by heavy rainfall.

In the middle and late June, the maximum water depth was 3 meters in Mayang and Shaodong counties of Hunan Province; In the whole year, 62 times of railway interruption, 34000 times of highway interruption, 14000 times of power supply line interruption and 12000 times of communication line interruption were caused by the disaster.

3.The geological disasters are concentrated in Southwest China, and the single casualties are relatively large

In 2014, a total of 109 counties (cities and districts) were affected by mountain collapse, landslides, debris flows and other geological disasters to varying degrees, distributed in 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government).

The most serious disaster occurred in Southwest China, with 79.8% of the total counties affected by geological disasters. More than 90% of the country's total number of people were resettled in emergency and houses were damaged, and more than 70% were dead and missing.
