As the "advance alarm" sounded, the residents were quickly evacuated to the air-raid basement for shelter under the guidance of volunteers...... Recently, the Dongcheng District State Office organized more than 100 anti-aircraft volunteers and residents in the Zaoyuan community of Huashi to conduct evacuation and shelter drills, and the residents also participated in interactive experience activities such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and Heimlich first aid.
"Air defense sirens are sounded in the order of 'advance warning,' 'air raid alarm,' and 'disarming alarm,' and each siren is sounded for three minutes at intervals of seven minutes." In the civil air defense equipment exhibition area, hand-cranked sirens, electro-acoustic sirens and other national defense equipment attracted citizens to stop and watch. "Air defense sirens are difficult for everyone to reach in peacetime, but they can provide citizens with emergency evacuation and rescue signals at critical moments." The staff patiently explained to the residents its purpose and the distinction between the three types of alarm signals. In the propaganda and consultation area, the staff distributed pamphlets on national defense mobilization and laws and regulations to the citizens, and patiently explained the knowledge of national defense mobilization and the relevant laws and regulations of civil air defense projects. The explanation in simple terms has enabled the citizens to understand that national defense is not only a matter for the military, but also related to the vital interests of every citizen, and has enhanced the citizens' awareness of national defense and sense of responsibility.
Before the test, the District State Office used network platforms such as "Beijing Dongcheng", "Beijing Dongcheng Guodong" and "Digital Dongcheng" to issue test notices, and set up hotlines to answer questions, and organized 17 streets to post more than 9,500 test notices in their jurisdictions in a timely manner.
"The air defense siren test and the comprehensive national defense mobilization drill have achieved the purpose of training their own contingent and enhancing the residents' national defense concept and awareness of air defense and disaster prevention." According to the relevant person in charge of the District State Office, September is the "National Defense Education Publicity Month", in order to strengthen the publicity, before the alarm sounds, Dongcheng District organized volunteer backbone training and evacuation and resettlement drills; set up a national lecture hall to teach 10 times for communities and schools; More than 4,000 copies of posters and leaflets were distributed. According to the statistics of 1,750 copies of the "Questionnaire on the Effect and Attitude of Beijing Citizens to the Alarm Test", the correct recognition rate of the alarm sound of the citizen is 100%.
