“…The more commonly used disaster risk assessment models internationally are UN-DRO, NOAA, APELL, and others. They mainly include the identification of risk events, hazard analysis of risk factors, vulnerability or exposure analysis of disaster-bearing bodies, risk classification and impact analysis [13][14][15][16]. Disasters caused by drought have a more difficult time developing.…”

The impact of global climate change has intensified, and the frequent occurrence of meteorological disasters has posed a serious challenge to crop production. This article conducts an integrated risk assessment of agricultural drought disasters in the main grain-producing areas of Jilin Province using the temperature and precipitation data of the study area from 1955 to 2020, the sown area of crops, historical disaster data, regional remote sensing images, and statistical yearbook data. The agricultural drought integrated risk assessment model was built around four factors: drought hazards, vulnerability of hazard-bearing bodies, sensitivity of disaster-pregnant environments, and stability of disaster mitigation capacity. The results show that the study area has shown a trend of changing from wet to dry and then wet over the past 66 years, with the occasional occurrence of severe drought, and a decreasing trend at a rate of −0.089. (10a)−1 overall. The integrated risk of drought in the study area exhibits regional clustering, and the overall risk level has some relationship spatially with the regional geological tectonic units, with the high-risk level concentrated in the central area of Song Liao Basin and close to the geological structure of Yishu Graben and the low risk level concentrated in the marginal area of Song Liao Basin. Based on the results of the risk factor analysis, integrated risk prevention suggestions for drought in the main grain-producing areas of Jilin Province were put forward from four aspects. Fine identification and evaluation of high-risk areas of agricultural drought can provide a quantitative basis for effective drought resistance activities in relevant areas.

“…Promote winter sports in scenic spots, shopping malls and communities, and vigorously support figure skating, ice hockey, alpine skiing and other people to participate in leisure sports enthusiastically. Wu et al [14] made a general and qualitative description of the research's concept, nature, development status and existing problems on the development status and countermeasures of winter sports in a particular region. In terms of integrating with reality, it is rare to carry out breakthrough reform and innovation for winter sports in combination with the characteristics of regional development.…”

Driven by national policies and international competitions, China’s winter sports and industry development will enter a new course. How to release the enormous potential skiing demand in China is significant to drive 300 million people to participate in winter sports and promote the development of China’s ice and snow industry, and defining the restrictive factors is a necessary prerequisite to realise the effective transformation of potential demand to actual growth power. Based on the in-depth information, this paper further analyses the influence of environmental factors on the development of winter sports. The research shows that the number of skiers about 20 times is the highest, up to 75.5 %, followed by the number of skiers about five times, up to 67.4 %. Then about ten times accounted for 48.6 %, and finally, about 15 times accounted for 37.6 %. This frequency can fully satisfy skiing enthusiasts to enjoy leisure activities, experience modern life fashion, use skiing to increase social opportunities, delight body and mind, and improve health. Based on the in-depth information, this paper reveals the shortcomings and existing environmental factors of China’s winter sports development. It provides a reference for the rational utilisation and development of ice and snow resources and the scientific and practical development of China’s winter sports.

“…These events can be caused by natural phenomena or human activities, such as flood, earthquake, war, explosion, terrorist attack, cyclone, and nuclear power plant failure. Almost all disasters have two fundamental characteristics; an unpredictable and sudden incident, and causing significant loss of life, property and environment (1).…”

Disasters, whether arising from natural forces or human activities, engender substantial harm, loss, and, in severe cases, fatalities. The enduring repercussions extend across individuals, animals, societies, ecosystems, and geographical locations. The consequences of disasters on public health are particularly pronounced, manifesting in a spectrum of medical outcomes. This review delves into the specific impact of floods on distinct age groups, scrutinizing the varying vulnerabilities within each demographic. Infants, young children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly encounter distinctive challenges during and post-flood events, encompassing respiratory ailments, waterborne diseases, infections, hunger, physical injuries, and psychological disorders. Floods not only compromise healthcare services but also precipitate shortages in medication and suboptimal treatment. Health issues resulting from floods exhibit divergence among neonates, infants, children, adolescents, and older individuals. The susceptibility to physical injuries, infections, respiratory disorders, healthcare disruptions, mental health issues, malnutrition, and waterborne diseases varies with the unique vulnerabilities of each age group. Disruptions to routine life disproportionately impact children and adolescents, whereas infants and older individuals exhibit heightened susceptibility. Extreme flood events pose the potential for fatalities, with the risk contingent on both the severity of the flood and the age group affected. Older adults, newborns, and infants face a higher likelihood of mortality attributable to flood-related causes. Mitigating the adverse health effects of floods necessitates robust disaster planning, improved infrastructure, and targeted health interventions tailored to the age-related vulnerabilities of the population.
