Recently, the first Zhejiang University Students’ Popular Science Competition on Disaster Prevention and Mitigation came to an end. This competition was jointly sponsored by the Earthquake Administration of Zhejiang Province, the Education Department of Zhejiang Province and the Emergency Management Department of Zhejiang Province, and received 746 entries from college students in the province. After two rounds of expert evaluation, the work “Zhen Yuan” by Luo Bowen, a student from Nanyang Vocational and Technical College in Jiaxing, our city, finally won the first prize of this competition. This is the first prize of the provincial-level competition in the field of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction after the contestants of our city won the first prize of the sixth national contest on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in Zhejiang Province this year. In recent years, our city has made great efforts to build a dynamic social education system for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction. Through multi-department linkage and multi-disaster combination, we have fully tapped social popular science resources, and combined education with four major measures to promote the construction of safe Jiaxing. The first is to strengthen the construction of missionary positions. Carry out the construction of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction education platform horizontally and vertically. Eleven popular science bases for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction at or above the provincial level have been built in the city (including three at the national level and eight at the provincial level), which is the first in the province to achieve full coverage of cities and counties, ranking first in the province in terms of quantity, and has played a positive role in demonstrating the radiation of popular science; The second is to strengthen the construction of the mission team. Mobilizing all social forces and relying on the popular science base for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, a team of lecturers for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction was established, among which 9 people were employed by the Seismological Bureau of Zhejiang Province as provincial-level scientific communicators for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, ranking first in the province. The lecturers’ team carries out the “six advances” publicity activities of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge every year; The third is to innovate digital empowerment science. Implement the “internet plus earthquake prevention and disaster reduction science popularization project”, use new media, digital disaster prevention and reduction education resources public service platform, online emergency science popularization platform, etc. to enhance the publicity coverage and enhance the effectiveness of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction science popularization. All the popular science bases above the provincial level are equipped with digital popular science e stations for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, and gradually increase the distribution density in densely populated places such as schools and shopping malls in the city; The fourth is to strengthen departmental coordination and linkage. The propaganda work of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction has been supported by more than ten departments, such as emergency management, education, and association for science and technology. Every year, a series of propaganda activities on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction are carried out in cooperation with the propaganda of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, and earthquake emergency drills in primary and secondary schools in the city have been carried out normally. The first lecture on earthquake prevention and mitigation held on May 12, 2022 was broadcast live to the whole society through live broadcast platforms such as Xinhuanet, Sina.com and Hediandian. Nearly 3 million students, teachers, students and citizens in the city watched it online, which set a new record for the number of people participating in earthquake prevention and mitigation propaganda activities in our city in a single time, with remarkable social benefits.
