I. Basic knowledge
1.What is geological disaster?
Geological disasters usually refer to disasters that cause people’s lives or property losses due to geological processes; Natural geological disasters are induced by rainfall, snow melting, earthquakes and other factors; Man-made geological disasters are caused by engineering excavation, stacking, blasting and soil abandonment. Common geological disasters mainly refer to six kinds of disasters related to geological action, such as mountain collapse, landslide, debris flow and ground collapse, ground fissure and ground subsidence, which endanger people’s lives and property safety.
There are four main geological disasters in Guangxi: collapse (including dangerous rocks), landslide, debris flow and ground collapse. This knowledge reader mainly introduces these four kinds of geological disasters.
2.What is the hidden danger point of geological disasters?
Hidden dangers of geological disasters include unstable slopes, potential landslides, potential collapses, potential mudslides and potential ground collapses that may endanger people’s lives and property, as well as landslides, collapses, mudslides and ground collapses that have occurred but are still unstable.
3.What is the hidden danger area of geological disasters?
The hidden danger area of geological disasters refers to the area or section where geological disasters are likely to occur and may cause casualties or property losses under the action of heavy rainfall and human engineering activities.
Second, collapse
1.What is collapse?
Collapse refers to the geological phenomenon that the rock mass or soil mass on the steep slope suddenly breaks away from the mountain under the action of gravity and collapses, rolls and accumulates at the foot of the slope or in the valley. Collapse is also called caving, collapse or collapse.
Collapse can occur in loose soil, bedrock, and where the two kinds of rocks develop together. What happens in the soil is called landslide; What happens in rock mass is called rock collapse.
When the collapse occurs in the mountain and the scale is huge, it is also called landslide; When collapse occurs on rivers, lakes or coasts, it is called bank collapse.
2.What is a dangerous rock mass?
Dangerous rock mass refers to the block stone located on the steep hillside and separated by cracks. Some of these stones are very large, and some are just a boulder on a steep slope. Dangerous rock mass may fall from steep hillside due to vibration or rainstorm; Sometimes strong winds may blow unstable boulders down. The situation of dangerous rock mass is common in limestone mountain areas of Guangxi.
3.The harm of collapse to human beings
Collapse often destroys and buries houses and engineering facilities in places where human activities take place, endangering human life and causing property losses.
4.When is it easy to collapse?
(1) In the process of rainfall or slightly delayed. This is the time when the most collapses occur;
(2) During a strong earthquake or aftershock;
(3) In the process of excavating the toe of the slope or lagging behind for a period of time;
(4) The initial stage of reservoir impoundment and the peak period of rivers;
(5) After strong mechanical vibration and big blasting.
5.Which places are prone to collapse?
Generally, the slope that may collapse has the following macroscopic characteristics:
(1) The slope is more than 45 degrees and the height difference is large, or the slope is an isolated mountain mouth or a concave steep slope.
(2) The internal cracks of the slope are developed, and the tensile cracks have developed in the upper part of the slope, and the cracks and cracks cutting the slope are about to penetrate, which makes it separate from the parent body (mountain).
(3) There is an empty space in front of the slope, or there are collapses, which indicates that there have been collapses and they may happen again in the future.
The slope with the above characteristics is the possible collapse, especially when the upper tension cracks continue to expand and widen, the speed increases suddenly, and small falls continue to occur, which indicates that the collapse will happen soon and is in a state of explosive.
The following signs may appear before the collapse:
(1) The cracks in the collapse gradually expand, and the front edge of the dangerous rock mass has the phenomenon of falling and falling, and small collapses and small collapses occur continuously;
(2) New cracks appear on the top of the slope, and an abnormal smell is smelled;
(3) I occasionally hear the sound of tearing and rubbing of rocks;
(4) Abnormal heat, radon, underground water quality, water quantity, etc.
Precursor formula of collapse
The cliff is steep and fractured, and the rockbare/show (one’s teeth)Mouth-shaped;
Small collapses often occur, and the stones with abnormal smells rattle.
When the collapse occurs, if you are outside the scope of the collapse, you must bypass it; If you are under the collapsed body, quickly escape to both sides, the sooner the better; If you feel the ground shaking, you should also immediately flee to the stable areas on both sides.
8.How to prevent collapse
Prevention of collapse:
(1) Don’t build houses, build roads and shelter from the rain under the dangerous rocks on the steep slopes that have not been treated, and don’t climb the dangerous rocks when it rains.
(2) Excavation of pillars in old mines (old kilns) is likely to cause roof collapse disaster, and the mined goaf should be backfilled and the empty mine holes should be buried.
Third, landslides
Landslide refers to the geological phenomenon that the soil or rock mass on the slope slides down the slope as a whole or dispersedly under the action of gravity under the influence of rainfall and rainwater infiltration, river erosion, groundwater activity, earthquake and artificial slope cutting, commonly known as "ground slip", "mountain walk", "mountain collapse", "mountain peeling" and "soil slip".
Landslide is one of the main natural disasters in mountainous areas, which often causes huge losses and even devastating disasters to industrial and agricultural production and people’s lives and property.
The main hazards of landslides in rural areas are destroying farmland and houses, hurting people and animals, destroying forests, roads, agricultural machinery facilities and water conservancy and hydropower facilities, and sometimes even causing devastating disasters to rural areas. Landslides located near towns often bury houses, injure people and animals, destroy fields, and destroy various facilities, resulting in power outages, water cuts, work stoppages, and sometimes even the entire town. Landslides in industrial and mining areas can destroy mine facilities, hurt workers, destroy factories, make mines stop production and often cause heavy losses.
Landslides often cause great harm in water conservancy and hydropower projects, highways, railways, river transportation and marine engineering, and often produce some secondary disasters, which indirectly harm human beings, such as blocking rivers, overflowing upstream rivers or bursting after blocking rivers into lakes, and causing floods; Sometimes, the debris flow is induced by the superposition of rainstorm or flood, which causes more serious damage.
Landslides generally go through four stages from gestation to formation: cracking, creep, sliding and stability.
The time of landslide occurrence is mainly related to various external factors that induce landslide. There are roughly the following rules:
(1) simultaneity. Some landslides move immediately after being affected by inducing factors. Landslides will occur when heavy rains and earthquakes occur and unreasonable human activities, such as excavation and blasting, etc.
(2) Hysteresis. Some landslides occur later than the inducing factors, such as rainfall, snowmelt and human activities. This hysteresis law is most obvious in rainfall-induced landslides. Generally speaking, the looser the landslide, the more developed the cracks and the greater the rainfall, the shorter the lag time. The greater the intensity of human activities and the lower the stability of landslide, the shorter the lag time.
Landslides generally occur in areas with bedding slopes, relatively broken inclined rock masses, large ups and downs of mountains and poor vegetation coverage. The mountainous and hilly areas with frequent engineering construction and rural slope cutting areas are also landslide-prone areas; Earthquakes lead to loose mountains and broken rocks in disaster areas, and landslides are also prone to occur under the action of aftershocks or heavy rains.
6.Precursor of landslide
The precursor characteristics of landslide are obvious, and there are cracks on the hillside;
The foot of the slope is loose or swollen, and there is subsidence in the middle and upper slopes;
Slope buildings are deformed, and trees are as drunk as machete forests;
Water suddenly appears in dry places, and the well water drops and rises from time to time;
There was an abnormal noise in the ground, and the livestock panicked and reacted differently.
When a landslide occurs, you should evacuate from both sides of the landslide boundary and never escape along the sliding direction. If the landslide slides fast, it’s best to hold a big tree still and not let go.
After the landslide happened, it did not stabilize immediately, and it will even continue to happen. Therefore, do not immediately enter the disaster area to search for property.
(1) Do not build roads or houses in landslide areas or areas with landslide risks. The newly selected building site should avoid rivers, lakes (reservoirs) and gullies to cut steep slopes as much as possible;
(2) Excavating soil at the foot of steep slope is easy to induce collapse and landslide;
(3) The retaining wall behind the house must leave drainage holes;
(4) The building should be built at a certain distance by cutting the slope, and the bed should not be placed on the side near the hillside. When it rains heavily at night, attention should be paid to inspecting whether the slope is abnormal, etc.
(5) Building houses on slopes are most likely to cause landslides, so geological personnel should be invited for exploration before excavation;
(6) Houses should be selected as far as possible on or under the slope of the reverse slope (reverse slope means that the slope inclination is opposite to the rock stratum inclination).
IV. Debris flow
Stimulated by water sources such as rainstorm, melting ice and snow, or dam break in reservoirs and ponds, the solid deposits in hillsides or valleys are mixed in the water, flow rapidly downstream along the hillsides or valleys, and accumulate at the foot of hillsides or at the place where they leave the mountain pass, thus forming a debris flow.
Debris flow often erupts suddenly and violently, rushing down the steep ravine. The valley is like thunder, which can carry huge stones and wash a lot of sediment stones out of the ravine in a short time, which is extremely destructive and often does great harm to human life and property.
According to the valley landform, it can be divided into valley debris flow and slope debris flow.
Gully type: it is formed along the valley, and the basin is long and narrow with large scale.
Slope type: Slope terrain, short ditch and steep slope, small scale.
Debris flow is a special torrent with sudden outbreak and short duration in mountainous areas, which contains a lot of solid substances such as sediment and stones and has strong destructive power. The total volume of solid substances generally exceeds 15%, and the highest can reach 80%. The vanguard is a thick and turbid torrent, which forms a "faucet" with a height of several meters to more than ten meters. It has a very strong scouring and carrying capacity and is extremely fast. It can discharge hundreds of thousands or even millions of cubic meters of solid substances in a very short time, and can carry hundreds of thousands of tons of boulders, with amazing destructive power. Debris flows frequently occur in many mountainous areas of China, especially in the western areas of Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, where heavy rains are bound to occur. On August 8, 2010, the catastrophic mudslide in Zhouqu, Gansu Province instantly destroyed the whole county, killing more than 1,000 people and making more people homeless.
Gully with the following three conditions is the most prone to debris flow:
(1) The mountain in the upper valley is broken, and the thickness of loose earth and stone on the hillside is large;
(2) The slopes on both sides of the gully are steep, and the height difference between the gully head and the gully mouth is large;
(3) Gullies with much rain and frequent floods in summer flood season.
The time of debris flow occurrence has the following three laws:
(1) Seasonal: The outbreak of debris flow is mainly stimulated by continuous rainfall, heavy rain, especially heavy rain and other concentrated rainfall. Therefore, the time law of debris flow is consistent with the time law of concentrated rainfall, which has obvious seasonality. Generally occurs in rainy summer and autumn.
(2) Periodicity: Debris flow is influenced by rain, flood and earthquake, but rain, flood and earthquake always appear periodically. Therefore, the occurrence and development of debris flow also has a certain periodicity, and its activity cycle is roughly consistent with that of rain, flood and earthquake.
(3) Debris flow usually occurs at the peak of a rainfall or after continuous rainfall.
(1) The normal running water in the river (ditch) bed suddenly stops flowing or the flood suddenly increases (with more firewood and trees).
(2) An abnormal roar suddenly came from the upper reaches of the river (ditch) valley. The sound is obviously different from that of locomotives, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, blasting, etc., which may be caused by the impact of boulders carried by mudslides.
(3) Have a slight sense of vibration.
Choose the shortest and safest path to run to the hillside or highland on both sides of the valley, and avoid running along the direction of debris flow; Don’t stay in the hollow with large slope and thick soil layer; Don’t climb trees to avoid, because debris flow can sweep away all obstacles along the way; Avoid concave banks with curved channels or convex banks with narrow places and low heights; Don’t hide under the steep mountain; You can’t return to the danger zone immediately after a long period of rain or heavy rain, or after the rain has just stopped; After more rain during the day, pay close attention to the rain at night, and it is best to leave early.
Prevention of debris flow:
(1) Do not build roads or houses in areas where mudslides or debris flows are dangerous. Villages and houses should be built at a safe height on both sides of the creek, not in depressions and gullies.
(2) Don’t pile a lot of soil in the ditch to prevent debris flow.
(3) Heavy rain, melting glaciers and melting snow-capped mountains are easy to cause mudslides, so preventive measures should be taken before.
(4) After the rainstorm, the debris flow will still occur, so we should wait for some time after the rain before going back.
V. Ground collapse
Ground collapse is a dynamic geological action or phenomenon that under certain conditions, the shallow rock and soil mass on the surface collapses downward and forms a pit on the ground. The ground collapse in Guangxi mainly includes karst ground collapse and goaf collapse.
The main hazards of collapse are the destruction of houses, railways, highways, mines, reservoirs, dams and other engineering facilities, resulting in house collapse, road interruption, reservoir leakage, dam and dike collapse and cracking. In addition, it also destroyed land resources, destroyed a large number of farmland, and deteriorated the environment in some cities and mining areas.
The main dynamic factors causing ground collapse are earthquake, rainfall, underground excavation, massive pumping and drainage, etc.
(1) The sudden rise and fall of the water level in Jing Quan, the sudden turbidity of water color or sand turning and steaming.
(2) Annular cracks appear on the ground and expand continuously, resulting in local ground heave or subsidence.
(1) After the collapse, the collapse pit of the adjacent building should be filled in time to avoid affecting the stability of the building.
(2) The ground cracks near the building should be filled in time, and the surface water should be intercepted in the subsidence pit of the ground to prevent it from injecting people.
(3) The severely cracked buildings should be temporarily closed, and the measures to be taken should be determined only after the dangerous houses are identified.
(4) Residents living in mined-out areas formed by mining hollowing out should pay attention to whether there are obvious signs such as deformation and cracks on the ground in front of and behind the house during flood season, and whether surface water seeps into the ground in large quantities and quickly during heavy rain. If any abnormality is found, you should immediately evacuate and notify the relevant departments. Don’t risk staying in the same place or in the living room to avoid possible collapse and casualties.
(1) Mines and karst areas are prone to collapse, so special attention should be paid to prevention when living or moving in these areas.
(2) Strong pumping in the hidden karst area is easy to cause ground collapse.
(3) In case of ground collapse cracks, it should be filled with sand and gravel in time and plastered with clay.
Sixth, the essentials of hedging and self-help
The flood season, especially the period of heavy rainfall, is a period of high incidence of geological disasters, so we should pay attention to listening to the weather forecast and improve the awareness of disaster prevention.
Report the precursors of geological disasters to the local government or relevant departments immediately.
In order to avoid danger urgently, under the guidance of professional and technical personnel and with the cooperation of relevant departments of counties, townships and villages, one or several safety sites are selected in advance as temporary places to avoid disasters. These disaster shelters are relatively safe places. When a local disaster comes, you should try your best to go to the disaster shelter on the premise of ensuring personal safety.
4.Evacuate according to the evacuation route
As far as possible, the route to leave the danger zone should avoid the slip direction of landslide, the collapse direction of collapse or the route where debris flow may pass, and cross the danger zone as little as possible. The road spread along the ridge is safer than the road spread along the valley.
5.Remember the warning signs.
Evacuation signals (such as broadcasting, beating gongs, drums, etc.) are agreed in advance, unique, and can’t be used indiscriminately, so you must remember to evacuate quickly when you hear the signal, and you can’t hesitate.
6.To publicize the knowledge of disaster prevention and control to family members and the masses.
7.Three-character scripture for avoiding danger of collapse and landslide
Before the disaster, there were anomalies; Water mutation, animal shock;
The forest is drunk and the foot of the slope is convex; Cracks appear, cracks expand;
Rock crack, rock collapse; The mountain is steep and easy to collapse;
In case of emergency, flee on both sides; Stop on a gentle slope and get away from it.
8.Three-character scripture of debris flow avoidance
Debris flow, which is harmful, not only hurts people, but also destroys homes;
Not mysterious, regular, formed in the gully;
On rainy days, listen to the forecast, observe carefully, and be on guard;
The water becomes muddy, the rocks are sandwiched, the valley is faint, and there is a slight earthquake;
Urgent report, no procrastination, timely withdrawal, listen to the arrangement;
Life first, wealth second, abandon the burden and protect life;
Stride, don’t look back, go high, stay away from the concave;
It clears up, the mud stops flowing, don’t worry, go home slowly.
9.Three-character meridian for avoiding danger from ground collapse
Seisensui, sudden rise and fall, turbid water, or turning sand;
Ground fissures, growing, locally bulging, or sinking;
Rich in mineral deposits, easy to be mined out, large collapse, and frequent this;
In karst area, there are many soil holes, so pumping is less to prevent collapse.
10.Hedging formula for building houses in mountainous areas
Pay attention to the location of building, think more about the slope ditch,
Ask an expert if the situation is unknown, and don’t make your own opinions.
Don’t choose the site for the steep slope of the concave land, and don’t build houses under the side wall of the cliff.
Don’t believe in geomantic superstition, but advocate scientific thought.
Don’t dig at the foot of the slope, cut the slope and grade it and add support.
Ponds should not be built on slopes, and muck should not be piled at gullies.
Rivers and ditches should not be changed easily, and drainage should be proper.
Infrastructure should be valued, and geological safety should not be forgotten.
Seven, how to prevent geological disasters when building houses by cutting slopes.
Guangxi is a mountainous province. For a long time, in order to protect the limited arable land, many people in mountainous areas can only build houses by cutting slopes. According to the data from Guangxi Geological Environment Monitoring Station, from 2006 to 2017, there were 215 geological disasters such as collapses and landslides caused by cutting slopes to build roads and houses in Guangxi, with 239 deaths and 176 injuries. This shows that the harm of building houses by cutting slopes is great. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of prevention scientifically and effectively avoid disasters.
In building houses in rural areas, we should earnestly take preventive measures against geological disasters. In accordance with the unified arrangement of the new rural construction plan, large-scale construction such as villages and towns must carry out geological disaster risk assessment. Even if farmers build houses individually, they should consult people with professional knowledge of geological disasters if possible to take precautions. Only in this way can we ensure the safety and reliability of our housing.
First of all, there should be a protective distance if there is space. How to calculate this safe protective distance? For example, if the slope is 10 meters high, then our safety protection distance will be greater than 10 meters, so the house built in this way will be relatively safe. But it may be difficult to do this in the vast mountainous rural areas. If it can’t be done, what should we do? Then we must take preventive measures. First, we should do a good job in retaining wall support and slope protection. The second thing is to cut the slope. The whole slope is cut below the safe slope, which is about 40 degrees, and the slope should be cut below 40 degrees. Third, we should do a good job in intercepting and draining the slope. It is necessary to do a good job of intercepting the drainage ditch with three lights, and intercept all the water flow on the hillside to the foot of the slope. Tall trees and dense bamboo forests cannot be planted on the hillside.
On June 12, 2008, Li, who lives in Liuwang Village, Licun Town, Rong County, Guangxi, would never have thought that a small collapse in the back hill would have ruined a family of five. Li once opened a motorcycle repair shop in Rongxian County. Because it rained for many days, Li never went home. After the rain cleared up, on June 11th, Li rushed home with his motorcycle to reunite with his family. Never imagined that at one o’clock in the morning on the 12th, affected by the rain a few days ago, the hillside behind the rain-filled house suddenly collapsed, causing a family of five to be buried in the mud while sleeping. After investigation by experts, it was found that the side of the house of the victim was next to a steep slope that was not too high, and the earth collapsed at the scene was not large, only less than 100 cubic meters. Why did this seemingly insignificant little collapse cause the disaster of a family of five? In fact, this accident can be completely avoided. At that time, five people slept in a bed, and when they collapsed, they just buried the bed on the side of the mountain, causing death. If you had a little awareness of geological disaster prevention at that time, you could have avoided the accident by putting the bed on the other side of the house.
When encountering cracks, falling blocks and water leakage around the house, which may lead to geological disasters, you must obey the instructions of the township government, the staff of the land department or the monitor, evacuate and avoid in time, and pay attention to check whether there are hidden dangers on the slope of the house when you return. You can’t return to the house until the hidden dangers are eliminated and the experts agree.
For example, on September 6, 2013, affected by the previous typhoons "Yute" and "Tanmei", heavy rain fell in Guiping City, Guangxi, causing geological disasters such as collapses and landslides in many places. In view of the possible danger, at 8: 30 in the morning, when the director of the National Land Institute of Mugui Town in Guiping City and the staff of the town government inspected Team 9 of Guotuntun in Pinghe Village, they found that a villager’s house was in danger due to slope cutting, and the staff immediately asked them to evacuate temporarily. However, at noon, the owner of the house returned to the house with luck when he saw nothing. As a result, it collapsed in the afternoon and the two were buried in the mud instantly.
5.Building site selection four "don’t"
Don’t build houses on landslides,
Don’t build a house in the valley,
Don’t build houses under steep slopes.
Don’t cut slopes to build houses at will.
6.Establish a joint insurance system to prevent geological disasters of building houses by cutting slopes.
All localities should investigate the situation of building houses on cut slopes or on slopes within their jurisdiction, register and establish address books for households with risks, and conduct joint defense grouping for households with hidden dangers on cut slopes or on slopes under the jurisdiction of village (neighborhood) people’s groups, designate team leaders, implement man-to-man and household-to-household marking, and similar households assume the responsibility of reminding each other and protecting each other. Once early warning notices and information such as flash floods and heavy rainfall geological disasters are received, households should notify each other and do emergency evacuation and prevention work.
The establishment of the township (town) people’s government overall responsibility, to the village (neighborhood) people’s group as a unit, the masses as the main body of geological disaster prevention joint insurance system. All tenants who have hidden dangers of geological disasters when building houses on slopes or near slopes should implement the joint guarantee system. For people who have no communication tools, widowed elderly people, left-behind children, five-guarantee households, etc., the local government should designate special personnel to provide joint insurance with them, take charge of their safety, ensure that they can get early warning notices in time, and make timely preparations for disaster prevention.
Eight, how to prevent geological disasters in flood season
Guangxi is a province (region) with frequent geological disasters, especially in the flood season, the possibility of various geological disasters is greatly enhanced. Geological disasters, such as collapse, landslide and debris flow, often wreak havoc in the flood season. Their occurrence is like a big mouth that may devour people’s precious lives and property at any time.
Therefore, when the flood season comes, we should firmly establish a high sense of responsibility, strengthen the awareness of "walking on thin ice", take the prevention and control of geological disasters in flood season as a "life project", fight the tough battle of prevention and control of geological disasters in flood season in 2020, and hand in satisfactory answers to more than 50 million villagers in Guangxi.
Strengthen the investigation and inspection of hidden dangers of geological disasters. The people’s governments of cities and counties should organize forces to carry out geological disaster inspection and investigation, and do a good job in "pre-flood inspection, mid-flood inspection and post-flood review", especially in areas prone to geological disasters such as complex geological conditions, high slope areas, mined-out areas, tailings ponds, construction sites and hillsides near villages, without leaving any dead ends.
Strengthen the revision and exercise of geological disaster emergency plan. According to the actual situation, all localities should revise the emergency plan for sudden geological disasters in a timely manner, enhance the pertinence, effectiveness and operability of the plan, and ensure that the emergency response work is carried out quickly, orderly and efficiently when disasters occur. The main hidden danger points of geological disasters should be "one point one case". Local people’s governments in areas prone to geological disasters should organize pre-plan drills, find weak links, and improve and optimize pre-plans.
Strengthen the early warning and forecasting of geological disasters. Meteorological, water conservancy and natural resources departments at all levels should strengthen coordination and cooperation, make full use of their respective monitoring networks, closely monitor the development trend of meteorological, hydrological and geological disasters, establish information sharing and consultation mechanisms, make scientific and accurate analysis and judgment in time, and release geological disaster early warning and forecasting information through radio, television, newspapers, internet, telephone, mobile phone short messages and other channels.
Further improve the system of group monitoring and prevention of geological disasters. All localities should conscientiously implement the system of danger inspection, disaster quick report and duty in flood season, and comprehensively decompose the tasks of disaster prevention and avoidance, monitoring and early warning to towns, villages, schools, hospitals, enterprises and other units and relevant responsible personnel.
Strengthen duty and information reporting. City, county (city) people’s governments and competent departments should strengthen emergency duty, geological disaster emergency response agencies should implement a 24-hour duty and leadership shift system in accordance with the relevant provisions, and implement a main and deputy shift system for important positions. The person in charge of disaster prevention and emergency response personnel must keep their mobile phones on for 24 hours. Municipal geological disaster emergency teams should maintain a high degree of readiness and stand by at any time. It is necessary to make arrangements for the rotation of emergency personnel, ensure necessary transportation, emergency tools and emergency personnel, and ensure sufficient emergency forces to deal with sudden geological disasters at any time.
Strengthen the propaganda of geological disaster prevention knowledge. All localities should carry out targeted publicity in combination with local actual conditions and examples of ground disasters, especially to strengthen publicity for urban residents in mines and mountainous areas, cadres and masses in rural areas and primary and secondary school students, so that they can master the basic knowledge of preventing ground disasters.
Fully implement the responsibility for prevention and control of geological disasters. All localities and departments should conscientiously implement the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Geological Disasters, and the natural resources departments should organize the implementation of various measures for the prevention and control of geological disasters, coordinate, guide and supervise all relevant responsible entities to do a good job in the prevention and control of geological disasters, and relevant departments such as construction, transportation, railway, water conservancy, meteorology, tourism and education should perform their respective duties according to law. All construction units shall design, construct and accept the ground disaster control project at the same time as the design and construction of the main project according to law, and take relevant measures in the construction process to avoid ground disasters.
