China is one of the countries in the world with the most severe natural disasters. The disasters are various in types, cover large geographic areas, have high frequencies and result in huge losses. An earthquake with huge destructive power took place in Wenchuan, Sichuan province, resulting in high casualties and big financial losses on May 12, 2008. To continue increasing the awareness of disaster prevention and reduction by the general public and to improve the work capabilities for disaster prevention, reduction and relief, starting from 2009, approved by the State Council, May 12 every year is named the National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day. May 12, 2022 is the 14th National Day of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation in China. This year's theme is "Reduce disaster risk and protect our homeland".
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has long attached importance to global cooperation in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, and is committed to promoting knowledge sharing and services for disaster prevention and mitigation. As a category II center of UNESCO, the International Knowledge Centre for Engineering Sciences and Technology under the Auspices of UNESCO (IKCEST) established Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge Service sub-platform (DRR). Impelled by UNESCO’s mission of disaster prevention and mitigation, IKCEST-DRR is committed to formulating global metadata standards and establishing a global meta-database for disasters by consolidating the data from different kinds of disasters; integrating cross-disciplinary, cross-field, and cross-region disaster data resources and providing knowledge service applications on line; and carrying out education, training, and technology exchange on disaster risk reduction. IKCEST-DRR was launched in May 2017 (http://drr.ikcest.org), providing free knowledge sharing services for domestic and foreign users.
IKCEST-DRR is going to organize the collection of related works in order to comply with the appeal of people from all walks of life to China's disaster prevention and mitigation, on the other hand, to remind people to pay more attention to disaster prevention, and strive to reduce disaster losses. We hope you will participate in the collection!
