摘要
印度是一个饱受各种自然发生或人为灾难的国家——58.6%的国土面积易遭强级地震的破坏;超过12%的国土面积易受洪水的侵袭;7516公里长的海岸线中,有5700公里经常受到飓风和海啸的威胁;68%的耕地面积中,有些易遭干旱,有些是经常面临山体滑坡或雪崩的丘陵地区,甚至面临核辐射、生化危机及恐怖袭击的威胁。城市涝灾不同于乡村涝灾,城市化导致集水面积的增加,洪峰通常是乡村洪涝的1.8~8倍,洪水量也是其6倍之多。因此,城市涝灾会在短时间内迅速形成,
India is vulnerable in varying degrees to a large number of natural as well as man--made disasters-- 58.6 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high intensity; over 12 per cent of land is prone to floods and river erosion, of the 7,516 km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and tsunamis, 68 per cent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to drought and hilly areas are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Further, the vulnerability to Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) disasters and terrorism has also increased manifold.
