清末民初,辽东半岛频频遭风暴海潮侵害,并呈现出受灾时间和地点相对集中、爆发频率逐渐增大,以及灾害突发迅猛等特点。风暴海潮不仅吞噬大量生灵,还淹没农田、冲毁房舍,给当地造成巨大的生命和财产损失。为应对灾害,地方政府和社会各界采取灾时救人、灾后蠲免赋税和加固海堤等诸多举措,取得良好效果。然而,囿于诸多因素的影响,当地的社会救助水平还没有进入到义赈阶段。 At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Liaodong Peninsula was frequently attacked by storm tide, showing the relative concentration of time and place of disaster, gradual increase of the frequency of the outbreak and the rapid explosion of the disaster. Storm tide not only engulfed a large number of creatures, but also flooded farmland, destroyed buildings, causing enormous local life and property losses. In order to cope with the disasters, local governments and all walks of life in the society took various measures such as saving people during a disaster, eliminating taxes after the disaster and strengthening the sea wall, and achieved good results. However, due to many factors, the local level of social assistance has not yet entered the stage of compulsory education.
