Zusammenfassung:This paper discusses the characteristics of the unique “Regional East Gale (REG) with Blowing Snow” natural disaster that occurs in Jeminay County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. The damage caused by such REG events is described, followed by discussion on the possible prevention measures for this kind of disaster. This work provides a theoretical basis for continuing development of the service that forecasts REG disasters and thus helps with mitigating against their impacts.
