"How to protect yourself when an earthquake occurs?" "What are the signs before the earthquake?" "How to save yourself and each other during the earthquake?"... May 12 this year is the 14th National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day in my country. The theme of this year's Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day is "Reduce Disaster Risk and Protect a Beautiful Home". In order to improve the people's disaster prevention and reduction capabilities of the people in the whole district, increase the people's earthquake science knowledge, and practice the disaster prevention and reduction theme of "Reduce Disaster Risk and Protect a Beautiful Home", on May 12, the Huazhou District Earthquake Monitoring Center, in conjunction with the District Science and Technology Association and the Civil Defense Office, carried out the "Disaster Prevention and Reduction" theme publicity activities in Hongling Community, Huazhou District.
Disaster Prevention and Reduction Science Popularization and Propaganda Staff Disaster Prevention and Reduction Science Popularization Propaganda Staff on the spot, popular science water cups, earthquake science knowledge propaganda brochures, etc. The staff demonstrated on the spot what to do when encountering special dangers during the earthquake. The people on the spot asked questions about how to avoid shocks outdoors, what to do if they were buried, and how to avoid shocks at home. The earthquake publicity staff used professional, popular and concise demonstrations and methods to answer questions. The people on the scene heard a wave of warm applause after wave of commentary on the staff. Finally, the staff gave an answer on how the masses are most concerned about how to predict the arrival of earthquakes. At present, there are no instruments and methods for accurately predicting earthquakes in advance. However, many macro abnormalities that occur before earthquakes occur. The more common ones include the rise and fall of well water, the change of color and smell, the bubbles of flowers, the rise and fall of temperature, and the abnormal habits of animals. However, macro strange phenomena are not necessarily earthquake signs. I hope that once you find abnormal phenomena, don’t make conclusions about earthquakes immediately, and don’t panic. You should report to the local government and earthquake work departments immediately, and do not believe in rumors or spread rumors before relevant departments make conclusions.
Through this publicity activity, the popular science knowledge of earthquakes is accurately directed to the hearts of the people. Through on-site demonstrations and answers, everyone has a deeper understanding of how to save themselves and each other when the earthquake comes, and is more aware that natural disasters may occur at any time. Only by self-rescue and mutual rescue have hope of survival. At the same time, it has also established a awareness among the people that disaster prevention and reduction is more important than Mount Tai. Disaster prevention and reduction is closely related to their own interests, thus improving the disaster prevention and reduction capabilities of the whole district and more fully protecting the safety of people's lives and property.
