On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, there was a long and disastrous snowfall in southern China. People in temperate regions seldom feel and appreciate what snow is. In Anhui, the snowstorm affected more than one million people; In Wuhan, Hubei Province, the freezing crack of water pipes caused more than 5,000 people to stop water supply. In Hunan, 500,000 passengers were stranded on the road for three days due to heavy snow. From June 5438 to1October 10, 2008, 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, such as Hunan and Guizhou, suffered the worst ice and snow disaster in 50 years.

Through this innovative quality practice, I have a lot of understanding and feelings about the snowstorm.

Snow disaster is also called white disaster. Large-scale snowstorm caused by heavy snowfall. It refers to the weather in which the temperature drops strongly in winter and spring, and the wind is accompanied by snowfall or the wind rolls up the snow on the ground. It is extremely harmful to road traffic, urban residents' life and animal husbandry production. In addition to blocking traffic, crushing houses, endangering communication and power transmission facilities, and affecting production and life, if it happens in the north, it will also cause serious harm to pastoral areas-a large number of livestock die, and herdsmen have serious difficulties in interrupting their lives due to illness and cooking.

China's disaster reduction system is not perfect. Facing the heavy snow flying all over the sky, the first serious problem in southern China is that there is no snow sweeper. "It hasn't snowed so heavily for more than 40 years! Snow blower was useless last winter. In this case, the forklift used by municipal companies to dig roads has become the main mechanical force to sweep snow. Because the tools are not suitable, sanitation workers still rely on manual equipment such as shoveling snow boards, which is inevitable. In the process of the nationwide heavy snow, even the northeast cities that often have heavy snow in winter have encountered the problem of shortage of snow sweepers.

In the United States, the public transportation and health departments of many cities took urgent action because of the early release of snowstorm disaster forecast this year. The New Jersey Department of Transportation has prepared 600 snow sweepers and is ready to rent another 1 100. The country also prepared150,000 tons of snow remover, and began to spread it on the roads before the arrival of heavy snow. As soon as the heavy snow stopped that night, the government dispatched a number of snow sweepers, so that there was almost no snow on the road.

Many cities in Germany have already prepared snow sweeping equipment and materials. In order to prevent "heavy traffic jam after snow", German law stipulates that if the owner parks his vehicle on both sides of the main street to block traffic after heavy snow, he will be towed away, face a fine of hundreds of euros, and pay the towing fee out of his own pocket.

Wang Ansheng, director of the Disaster Reduction Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that although the facilities are incomplete, it does not mean that every city should be equipped with a full set of snow removal equipment. The key is to establish and improve the comprehensive disaster reduction system, and establish a special database of disaster relief materials, personnel and experts, so that when disaster weather comes, it can be deployed in a unified way immediately with early warning.

Through this activity. We learned a lot of knowledge that we didn't know before, and made us realize that snowstorms will also bring great harm to our doorstep. Just like the floods many years ago, we can't underestimate the power of nature. There are all kinds of opportunities and opportunities, and natural disasters are also possible.

However, in this snowstorm. Various activities have also been held in the society to help the people in the disaster areas, help them tide over many difficulties and finally reunite with their families. Let them feel the care of society, and we are deeply moved. We also realize that the essence of disaster is not to make us suffer more, but to make us have more experience and knowledge and face the test of the future.
