Abstract:By using the rice yield data of 104 towns in Suqian area from 2003 to 2013 and insurance claiming data from 2008 to 2013, the rice loss rate caused by rainstorm and flood disasters was calculated. Based on the suggested rainstorm and flood index, the panel function was used to analyze the relationship between rice damage rates and rainstorm and flood index and to build the panel random effects model of weather claiming index in every rice-planting region. Results show that the average rice damage rate in Suqian caused by rainstorm and flood disasters is -1.83%, and there are 37.5% urban and rural areas which are up to the claiming standard; the most serious damage region is region Ⅲ, followed by region Ⅰ, region Ⅱ and region Ⅳ, and then the damage of the other regions are relatively light; the rainstorm and flood disaster have the main effects on booting flowering and grain filling periods, however, it has less effect on the growth period before booting flowering; the rainstorm and flood index is important to understand the effect of rainstorm and flood on the rice growth, in addition, the forecast accuracy of rice damage rate is relatively high, up to over 90% by using the index mentioned above. Overall, the distribution of rice damage rate caused by rainstorm and flood disaster can be forecasted and simulated better by weather claiming index, which also has better guiding significance on reducing the claiming risk and costs.
