Abstract:
      Along with the transformation of drought disaster management in China from a crisis mode to a compre-hensive risk model. With the karst area of Dashishan region in Guangxi as research area, investigation and analysis of a-gricultural drought disaster were made in this region during last 20 years, and diffusion method of fuzzy information was adopted to calculate and study agricultural drought disaster risk assessment. The results indicate that agricultural drought disaster occurs once every 2 years in last 20 years, and the intensity increased gradually. With respect to drought levels of extreme, severe, moderate and slight, the frequency is averagely 1.3, 2.2, 6.3 and 15.3 years every one time re-spectively. According to the regional drought disaster risk model:DR=(H×E×V)/C, strengthening the capability of drought mitigation is the most effective way and means to cope and mitigate the drought disaster and risk. Overall, pre-vention and response capability of the drought disaster lags far behind to meet the objective of integrated risk manage-ment. Therefore, developing the operable Drought Prevention and Preparation System will effectively promote the strategy implementation of integrated risk management.
