Evaluation and Regionalization of Lightning Disaster Vulnerability over Hebei
The lightning disaster vulnerability over Hebei is evaluated, based on the conception of lightning disaster vulnerability analysis, choosing the lightning disaster density, lightning disaster frequency, economy vulnerable modulus, and life vulnerable modulus as vulnerability evaluation indexes and using the post-disaster evaluation method, by means of the data from 11 meteorological stations from 1971 to 2000 and lightning disaster data from 2003 to 2009 from the statistical data of the Hebei Lightning Protection Center. The results show that Tangshan, Baoding, and Qinhuangdao belong to the maximal damageable area; Xingtai, Hengshui, Langfang, Zhangjiakou, and Shijiazhang belong to the high damageable area; Chengde belongs to the medium damageable area; Cangzhou and Handan belong to the low damageable area. The vulnerability degree of each district is calculated and vulnerability regionalization over Hebei is made by means of GIS data, which can give some references to lightning protection and disaster reduction service.
