Core Viewpoint - The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in China, particularly due to climate change, has led to significant natural disasters, highlighting the urgent need for improved disaster preparedness and public awareness [2][3][4]. Group 1: Extreme Weather Events - In 2023, multiple regions in China experienced severe rainfall and flooding, with 330 rivers exceeding warning levels and 22 rivers recording the highest floods on record [1]. - The extreme weather has resulted in tragic incidents, such as the deaths of 37 individuals in Beijing's Miyun District due to prolonged heavy rainfall [2]. - The frequency of extreme weather events has been linked to climate change, with 87% of meteorological disasters from 2013 to 2022 associated with this global phenomenon [2]. Group 2: Regional Impact and Preparedness - Inner Mongolia, typically a drought-prone area, has seen a significant increase in average temperatures and extreme weather occurrences, leading to unexpected flooding events [3]. - The lack of awareness and preparedness in regions like Inner Mongolia has resulted in devastating consequences during rare but intense rainfall events [3]. - The current disaster response mechanisms in China are fragmented, necessitating a more integrated approach to disaster monitoring, early warning systems, and emergency response [3]. Group 3: Public Awareness and Education - There is a critical need for enhanced public education regarding disaster preparedness, particularly in understanding weather forecasts and geological hazard warnings [4]. - The focus on scenic locations for activities like camping often overlooks the importance of assessing weather risks, indicating a gap in public safety education [4]. - A comprehensive climate disaster education initiative is essential to equip citizens with the knowledge to adapt to the increasing frequency of extreme weather events [4].
