Abstract
Snow, frost, and hail are the main agro-meteorological hazards in China. Currently, research on snow, frost, and hail hazards mainly focuses on the formation, spatial and temporal distribution, and disaster-loss evaluation of various exposure units, but little has involved disaster risk assessment and governance. Supported by the “Research and Demonstration of Key Technologies for Integrated Risk Governance” project of the National 11th Five-Year Science and Technology Pillar Program and the Public Welfare Project “Risk Regionalization Research of Meteorological Disasters in China under the Background of Global Change” of the China Meteorological Administration, the natural disaster research team of Beijing Normal University, respectively, studied theory and methods for assessing and mapping snow, frost, and hail disaster risks, and set up a database of snow. This chapter is based on the outcomes of these works.
