Improving the geo-hazard meteorological risk warning capabilities is an important component of the comprehensive prevention system for geological disasters. Since 2003, Sichuan Province has been carrying out geo-hazard meteorological risk warning work. Building on the previous foundation, research has been focused on the analysis and establishment of warning models, system design and implementation, and graded warning operation modes since 2019. A geo-hazard warning model library, an integrated geological disaster meteorological risk warning interconnection system at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, and a graded warning mechanism have been created. We have achieved closed-loop management of interconnection and graded early warning based on integrated platform such as rainfall data transmission, early warning model analysis and calculation, and early warning information release in province, cities, and counties. This has solved the three problems of lack of technology, capacity, and funding in cities and counties, as well as the interference caused by multiple early warning information releases on grassroots levels. In 2023, 86% of the successful risk avoidance cases in Sichuan Province were affected by meteorological risk warning, effectively reducing casualties and property losses caused by geo-hazard.
