Weakness and improvement suggestions for drought resistance and disaster reduction in Zhuzhou City of Hunan Province

The active drought response model of risk management has emerged as an inexorable trend in the evolution of contemporary drought response work, replacing the traditional post-disaster passive drought resistance model as it no longer adequately addresses the needs of the comprehensive response to drought of today. Assessment of the drought risk points serves as the foundation for establishing drought mitigation strategies and is a strong assurance that farmers will raise their output and revenue, as well as the economic efficiency and quality. We have been able to delve further into the existing series of high-risk areas in Zhuzhou's drought protection in engineering and non-engineering projects and propose improvements and perfection measures through visiting the key departments responsible for drought relief, such as emergency management, water resources, hydrology, and meteorology in Zhuzhou City, hoping that all functional departments would respond to the city's frequent and severe droughts in a scientific and proactive manner in advance so as to reduce the disasters caused by droughts to a minimum.
