Drought disaster is the combined effects of disaster-causing, socioeconomic and environmental factors. The textual information of historical drought disasters in China was used to classify drought disaster. The method of hotspot analysis was employed to identify prone areas of drought disaster. Based on three elements of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, the risk assessment of drought disaster was investigated. The results show that three types of key information including water and rainfall conditions, drought severity and social impact extracted from drought disaster texts were well applied to their classification. During the period of 1949-2020 in China, it experienced an average of about 170 drought disasters per year, with mild, moderate, and severe droughts accounting for 52.4%, 27.6%, and 20.0%, respectively. The prone areas of drought disaster mainly occurred in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia etc. The levels of the hazard, exposure and vulnerability in Henan, Hubei and Shandong accounted for the higher or above. The levels of drought disaster risk in Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Shandong, as the major grain producing areas, were the higher or above. The results of the study can provide a reference for drought disaster mitigation.
