- Abstract
This paper takes the county-level administration of Altay as the evaluation unit, and uses the frequency of historical snowstorm as the expression of the risk of snowstorm disaster in Altay area. The snow disaster vulnerability index system is established from snow physical exposure, sensitivity and disaster response capacity three aspects. The analysis are carried out by GIS software. The results show there is positive correlation between snow disaster risk and snowstorm vulnerability. And the snow disaster vulnerability is the highest in the Habahe County. The second is Jimunai County and Burqin County, Fuyun County and Qinghe County, while snow disaster vulnerability are lower in Altay City, Fuhai County. It is concluded that the defense of the snow disaster in Habahe County, Jimu Nai County, Fuyun County and Qinghe County should be regarded as the key areas of snow disaster prevention in the future.
