Human beings are very vulnerable in front of nature. The terrible thing about disasters is not only the direct loss it brings, but more seriously, it may also bring serious social panic. The government should be the "stabilizer" and "backbone" in disaster prevention and mitigation, and deliver real information and rational voices to the public in a timely manner.
2. Use modern science and technology to transform nature and society and prevent disasters before they happen.
Far in ancient times, people learned to use water conservancy facilities to reduce flooding. Today, with the development of science and technology, mankind's ability to transform natural landscapes and resist disasters is even stronger. For example, since the establishment of the Three Gorges Dam, flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been significantly reduced; the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has also provided a new tool for fighting drought in the north.
3, scientific disaster reduction, not to fight unprepared.
Science can help predict disasters, and it can likewise help mitigate the extent of their damage. Analysts are able to design more effective emergency plans based on historical data from past disasters, keep people as far away as possible from the harm caused by disasters, and carry out disaster prevention drills.
4. Applying advanced technology to observe the Earth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to detect the harbingers of disaster.
In order to observe weather changes, people came to invent meteorological satellites; in order to warn of tsunamis, human beings placed sensors on the seabed and set up emergency communication stations. Now, IoT technology will bring a new revolution to human beings to recognize and track the world.
5, the use of scientific and technological methods and means to explore the causes of disasters, the establishment of more effective monitoring methods.
Most natural disasters have specific causes and mechanisms, and through long-term tracking and analysis, scientists have been able to assess the probability of natural disasters occurring in a region in the coming period of time, as well as the degree of damage they may cause. With the help of a new generation of information technology, such as big data, to provide adequate early warning information for disaster prevention and mitigation.
