Now the affected area and the loss of food stuff was used as the assess index from 1950 to 2009.

In 60 years, the happening frequency and the loss extent of the major disaster was getting higher and higher. There was a great influence on the economy society, especially the 10 years since 2000, there’s 9 disasters happened, one major and eight large.
