A brief discussion on the specific ways to carry out science popularization education of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction for primary and secondary school students：Taking “National Security Education Day for Primary and Secondary School Students” as an example

Abstract

This paper briefly summarized the structural characteristics of earthquake zones, the frequency of seismic activities, the number of primary and secondary school students and the volume of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction science popularization team in China. Taking “National Security Education Day for Primary and Secondary School Students” as an example, through two aspects of traditional science popularization education and new media science popularization education, seven specific forms of science popularization education are introduced, including earthquake emergency evacuation drills, lectures on science popularization knowledge, thematic research, knowledge competitions, live broadcast on mobile Internet, online education cloud platform, and intelligent digital interactive experience. These provided some valuable references for relevant functional departments of earthquake, education, emergency management, and primary and secondary schools to carry out a series of activities of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction science popularization education for primary and secondary school students. By promoting the continuous enrichment of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction science popularization forms and the continuous improvement of primary and secondary school students’ awareness and ability of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, the broad masses of primary and secondary school students will gradually become “the future of the country” who understand earthquakes, respect earthquakes, and understand how to prevent earthquake hazards.
