Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day Origin

China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters in the world. There are many types of disasters, they are widely distributed, occur frequently and cause heavy losses. In the context of global climate change and China's rapid economic and social development, China faces a severe and complex natural disaster situation, further intensified disaster risks, and increasingly serious disaster losses.

Wenchuan Earthquake (20 photos) On May 12, 2008, a massive earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan. This was the most destructive earthquake since the founding of New China, killing 68,712 people and leaving 17,912 missing in Sichuan Province alone. This major earthquake brought huge psychological pressure and difficult-to-heal trauma to the people across the country. It can be called a major disaster in the history of the country and the nation. After the disaster, the people of the country, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, united as one to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief, showing unprecedented unity and strength. In June 2008, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province proposed that in order to commemorate the victims of the disaster, enhance the public's awareness of disaster, and improve disaster prevention and reduction capabilities, it is necessary to establish a "Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day" or a "China Disaster Relief Day." This is a way to commemorate the victims of the earthquake and promote the spirit of unity and disaster relief.

In 1989, the United Nations Economic and Social Council designated the second Wednesday of October each year as the "International Day for Disaster Reduction". In order to arouse the international community's attention to disaster prevention and reduction, we urge governments of all countries to include natural disaster reduction in their economic and social development plans. While establishing the "International Day for Disaster Reduction", many countries in the world have also established their own theme days for disaster prevention and reduction to promote targeted publicity and education on disaster prevention and reduction in their countries.

For example, Japan has designated September 1st every year as "Disaster Prevention Day" and August 30th to September 5th as "Disaster Prevention Week"; the Korean government has designated May 25th every year as "Disaster Prevention Week" since 1994. "National Disaster Prevention Day"; after the Indian Ocean tsunami, Thailand and Malaysia designated December 26 every year as "National Disaster Prevention Day"; on October 8, 2005, after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake occurred in Pakistan, the Pakistani government designated October 8 every year.

Edit this paragraph to dedicate this paragraph to the first National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day

Xinhuanet, Beijing, May 12, titled: China grows strong in disasters - dedicated to the first country" "Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day" Xinhua News Agency reporters Wei Wu and Wei Minli On May 12, my country ushered in the first National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day. This special day embodies the deep remembrance of the Chinese people for the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake, and demonstrates the Chinese nation's firm determination to never forget the past and prevent natural disasters. From passive response to active prevention - my country's disaster prevention and reduction work has undergone profound changes. Droughts, floods, typhoons, earthquakes... except for modern volcanic activities, almost all natural disasters have occurred in our country. The cost of life and home prompted people to change. "In the past, people did not pay enough attention to disasters and believed that disasters could not be prevented. In the face of natural disasters, people were powerless and did not need to bear any responsibility." Lu Yaoru, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Tongji University, said that the existence of this kind of thinking hinders people from disasters. Establishment of prevention awareness. "The most significant change in these years is that everyone from the country to ordinary people pays attention to the prevention of natural disasters." Lu Yaoru said. Fang Zhiyong, deputy director of the National Disaster Reduction Center of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, feels this change very clearly. "In the past, people basically equated disaster reduction and disaster relief work. Now people have realized that disaster reduction is a systematic project including disaster preparation, disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, and their attention to natural disasters has also increased significantly." He explain.

From the Party Central Committee and the State Council to party committees and governments at all levels, from party and state leaders to grassroots cadres, from experts and scholars to the people, from understanding concepts, from single to comprehensive, from policy to overall planning, changes in disaster prevention and reduction are taking place. : --In early 2005, the China International Disaster Reduction Committee was renamed the National Disaster Reduction Committee, which is responsible for formulating national disaster reduction guidelines, policies and plans, coordinating major disaster reduction activities, and comprehensively coordinating major natural disaster emergency response, disaster relief and other work. --In August 2007, documents such as the "National Comprehensive Disaster Reduction "Eleventh Five-Year Plan"" clearly proposed my country's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period and medium- and long-term national comprehensive disaster reduction strategic goals. --More than 30 laws and regulations, including the Emergency Response Law, the Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Mitigation Law, the Flood Control Law, the Desertification Prevention and Control Law, and the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, have formed an all-round, multi-level, and wide-area legal system for disaster prevention and reduction. --The "National Public Emergency Emergency Plan", "National Natural Disaster Relief Emergency Plan", etc., regulate disaster response, rescue and relief, and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction matters; the "Wenchuan Earthquake Post-Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction Regulations" provide Wenchuan Provide legal protection for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in disaster areas. --On May 11, 2009, the Chinese government released its first white paper on disaster prevention and reduction, "China's Disaster Reduction Actions." …More complete policies and legal guarantees, more effective systems and mechanisms, a more scientific decision-making system and a more comprehensive education and science and technology system…are like a giant hand with only one powerful force, carrying forward our country’s disaster prevention and reduction work. Keep pushing higher and deeper. Open cooperation and disaster reduction diplomacy have become important expressions of our country on the international stage. In 1990, China announced for the first time that disaster areas could be opened to the outside world. China has established a close cooperative partnership with relevant United Nations agencies in the field of disaster reduction and actively participates in disaster reduction cooperation under the United Nations framework. In September 2005, the Chinese government hosted the first Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Reduction; in December 2008, it held a seminar on strengthening the capacity building of Asian countries to respond to catastrophes. After the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, more than 170 countries and regions and more than 20 international organizations provided financial or material assistance to China. China's open attitude and great-power mind in its work on disaster prevention and reduction have left a deep impression on the world. From individual combat to multiple participation - my country's disaster prevention and reduction work has been led by the government to widely participated by social forces. One hand may show weakness; thousands of hands holding each other can shake mountains. People clearly remember that when the news of the Wenchuan earthquake came, thousands of miles away from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou... thousands of "yellow ribbons" walked towards blood donation vehicles and donation boxes; volunteers, private rescue teams, public welfare organizations, charities... ...Thousands of anxious hearts and thousands of pairs of helping hands instantly connected with the people in the disaster area. Shortly after the earthquake, the Party Central Committee and the State Council established a counterpart assistance mechanism of "one province helping one severely affected county". 19 provinces and cities immediately took action to provide counterpart assistance to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places that suffered severe earthquake disasters. Tens of thousands of aid workers fighting in the disaster-stricken areas have used their hard work, wisdom and sweat to work with the people in the disaster-stricken areas to raise the hope of recovery and reconstruction. "As soon as the government issued an order, the whole country mobilized immediately." Zou Ming, director of the Disaster Relief Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said in an interview with reporters that in the process of earthquake relief, the counterpart assistance mechanism has become an important factor in improving the recovery and reconstruction capabilities of the disaster area, and the nationwide mechanism played an important role. "Take a deep breath, smile and shake hands with the person next to you." At Mianyang Jiuzhou Stadium, as a volunteer of the "Hope Jiuzhou" Yellow Ribbon Action, Wang Yucheng from Nanjing patiently guided more than a dozen disaster-stricken children to learn self-management. Figures show that after the Wenchuan earthquake, more than 3 million domestic and foreign volunteers went deep into the disaster area, and more than 10 million volunteers participated in earthquake relief behind the scenes. On May 12, 2008, eight private organizations in Beijing jointly launched the "Small Actions, Many People = Big Difference" relief campaign. On May 13, Chengdu Roots and Shoots, One Kilogram More, the NGOCN website and several other non-governmental organizations decided to implement joint disaster relief operations. In just half a month after the earthquake, more than 120 civil organizations across the country joined this action.

… Regarding the relationship between various forces in the Wenchuan earthquake relief work, someone has vividly described: If the government and military forces are the heart and aorta, civil organizations are the blood banks, coordinating organizations are the veins, and volunteers are the blood of life. The disaster relief pattern in which government resources and social forces complement each other and coordinate with each other has outstanding advantages. Experts believe that the active participation of various social forces such as counterpart assistance, non-governmental organizations, and volunteers, the further disclosure, openness, and transparency of relevant information, and the full integration of various social forces are important guarantees for the major success of the Wenchuan earthquake relief.

Edit this paragraph's 2010 theme: Disaster reduction starts with the community

On May 12, 2010, we will usher in the second "Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day" in the country. This year’s theme is: “Disaster reduction starts with the community.” The significance of “disaster reduction starts with the community”: Disaster prevention and reduction cannot be separated from mass participation. This is the significance of setting the theme of this year's "Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day" as "Disaster reduction starts with the community." As the basic unit of society, the community is an important place for people to work and live, and is the frontier of disaster prevention and reduction. Disaster reduction starts from the community. Using the community as a platform to carry out disaster prevention and reduction work can effectively integrate various grassroots disaster reduction resources, implement various disaster reduction measures, and enhance the community's comprehensive disaster reduction capabilities, thereby minimizing disaster losses. In this regard, Japan, which is also an earthquake-prone country, has a lot of experience that we can learn from. Reference: Japan's "Disaster Prevention Day" practice has achieved remarkable results. In order to commemorate the Great Kanto Earthquake and awaken the public's awareness of disaster prevention and reduction, Japan has designated September 1st every year as "Disaster Prevention Day". Everywhere on this day, disaster prevention training is organized. Firefighting units of all sizes set up tents in the squares of shopping malls or in open spaces in parks, with equipment simulating fire and earthquake scenes inside, and a row of fire extinguishers outside. . Agile firefighters climbed to the top of a long, thin pole and performed various difficult movements, leading citizens to experience what it would be like when a disaster strikes. At the same time, office workers and students will have a day off. Parents will take their children to go through the "smoke corridor" that simulates a fire, to feel the violent shaking of an "magnitude 8 earthquake", or to queue up to learn to climb a ladder. Disaster prevention training exercises are as fresh and interesting as visiting an amusement park. The central and local governments are even more duty-bound. Only by being prepared can you avoid disasters. Disaster prevention is better than disaster relief. It is precisely because a complete set of disaster prevention and relief procedures has been summarized that the awareness of disaster prevention and relief has been deeply rooted in the people. On June 14, 2008, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Tohoku, Japan. Although the intensity was comparable to the Great Hanshin Earthquake, it only caused a few casualties. Ten people died and hundreds were injured. This can not but be said to be a miracle, a miracle created by the reinforcement of the building and the correct escape method. This shows that “disaster reduction starts with the community” is by no means an empty phrase. The key is to alert, help, encourage and support the masses to prepare for daily disaster prevention, and spare no effort to build a "disaster-resistant", especially "earthquake-resistant" society to withstand natural disasters. To this end, it is necessary to do a series of work such as popularizing knowledge on disaster prevention and reduction, carrying out emergency drills, and organizing and investigating hidden disaster risks. More importantly, disaster prevention should be incorporated into social development planning, and efforts should be made jointly from all aspects such as urban construction, administration, and economy to continuously increase financial support to ensure the necessary equipment for emergency rescue and shelter materials, as well as the foundation for comprehensive disaster reduction. Great facilities. The significance of National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day: 1. It is conducive to arousing the great attention of all sectors of society on disaster prevention and reduction work; 2. It is conducive to the general enhancement of the awareness of disaster prevention and reduction in the whole society; 3. It is conducive to promoting the knowledge and avoidance of disasters among the people. The popularization and promotion of self-rescue skills, 4. is conducive to the general improvement of comprehensive disaster reduction capabilities at all levels and minimizes the losses from natural disasters.
