Abstract

The passage investigated natural hazard, which occurred in the Three Gorges and periphery area. The major hazards include drought, heavy rain, and floods; in addition, there are geological hazards, which include landslide, rock fall, debris flow, earthquake, and so on. What is more, the passage has collected a lot of related data about natural hazards that took place in Yichang City of Hubei Province, the city of Chongqing, and the Hubei Province as a whole from 2004 to 2010. This passage analyzed the data. The natural hazard that occurred in Hubei Province and the city of Chongqing has become extremely serious. The number of such hazard events is on a rising trend from 2009. As the natural hazard that occurred in the Three Gorges is uncertain and unexpected, it is important to build an emergency logistics base in the Three Gorges. Such base can provide vigorous rear rescue activity quickly to avoid the natural hazard. Based on the investigation on the variety of natural hazards in this area, the time of such hazards, and frequency, this passage provided several measures.
