On the basis of properties analysis of disaster chain, the assumption of connotation and extension of systematic natural disaster chain is clarified. Therefore the natural disaster chain structural model in the form of mathematical language is defined, and the relation and property of the structural model is studied. According to the analysis of the mathematical model of disaster chain, it shows that the disaster chain is caused and dominated by both the outside environments and structural relation of inner state. The outside environment influence is the gestation of disaster and the interaction of inner state is the necessary condition of disaster chain. The disaster mitigation mode is studied from the point of both sides, and the emphasis is on the inner structural relations chain-cycle. An example in view of snowstorm in 2008 is presented to apply and verify the above theory.

Anthropomorphization is the tendency to ascribe humanlike features and mental states, such as free will and consciousness, to nonhuman beings or inanimate agents. Two studies investigated the consequences of the anthropomorphization of nature on people’s willingness to help victims of natural disasters. Study 1 (N = 96) showed that the humanization of nature correlated negatively with willingness to help natural disaster victims. Study 2 (N = 52) tested for causality, showing that the anthropomorphization of nature reduced participants’ intentions to help the victims. Overall, our findings suggest that humanizing nature undermines the tendency to support victims of natural disasters.
