May 12 this year is the 16th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day in mainland China, with the theme of "Everyone Stresses Safety, Everyone Knows How to Respond to Emergencies - Strive to Improve Grassroots Disaster Prevention and Risk Avoidance Capabilities".
From May 11th to 17th, the Office of the Nanyang Disaster Reduction Committee, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the relevant member units of the Municipal Disaster Reduction Committee, and the offices of the Disaster Reduction Committees of counties (cities, districts, and functional areas) will jointly carry out a series of activities for the 2024 "5.12" National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day Publicity Week.
Learning about disaster prevention and mitigation can not only improve our ability to protect ourselves in the face of natural disasters, but also help us prevent or reduce losses caused by disasters.
By mastering the basic knowledge and skills of disaster prevention and mitigation, we are better able to identify risks, develop response plans, and respond quickly and correctly in emergency situations. This is not only about personal security, but also about the stability and development of families, communities and society as a whole. Therefore, it is the responsibility and obligation of each of us to learn the knowledge of disaster prevention and mitigation.
