On May 12, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, which shocked the whole world. In order to reduce casualties in schools when an earthquake occurs, the state requires all middle and primary schools to conduct earthquake drills. This exhausted us so much that every day's class break was changed to "earthquake drill". Don't you think this is going to exhaust us to death?
The bell rang during the break, and the whole class was on "high alert". If there was any slight disturbance, they would chatter non-stop. Looking at my deskmate Chen Hanxing, he looked a little excited and nervous. He kept twirling his hair with his hands and muttering: You must die looking good. Alas, women are like this, they have to look good even when they die.
Just as he was talking, the copper bell rang "dang, dang, dang". Everyone calmly "swayed" down the stairs leisurely and swaggering. Unexpectedly, we were the only ones in the whole school. When the class arrived last, the principal was so angry that he had been "waiting" for us at the stairs for a long time. He was always scolded and cursed. What a pity it was for our class teacher. Hush, keep your voice down, I heard it’s a 5,000-word review of “The Importance of Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Mitigation”!
The next day, I didn’t notice whether the teacher’s right hand could move, but the atmosphere in the class today was so solemn, and the bell for the big break came as scheduled. I didn't even dare to express my anger, waiting for the "alarm bell". "Dang, Dang, Dang," everyone was now frightened. They poured out of the classroom like a tide and flew down the stairs. When they arrived at the stairs, they didn't expect everyone to "arrive as promised" with the principal again, "How on earth did you do this? I was late yesterday, and I didn't even have time to ring the bell today. It would be better for you to strike first!" The principal was "finally" furious with us today. It is said that the teacher's 5,000-word review turned into 10,000 words. No wonder the Chinese homework these days has not been corrected. That's it. Haha, just kidding, we are actually practicing very seriously.
Through everyone’s unremitting efforts, we have passed provincial inspection and acceptance and become an “Excellent Demonstration School for Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction.” Essay Collection on Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction 2

Essay on Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction 3
On that unforgettable afternoon, when we were studying peacefully in the classroom, no one thought that a ruthless disaster would befall the compatriots in Wenchuan. At that moment , the ruthless disaster took away the lives and health of countless people. At that moment, high-rise buildings turned into ruins. At that moment, countless heartbreaking cries enveloped the entire Wenchuan County. It was that day - May 12th, that left an indelible lesson to mankind. The Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day will be the footprints left by that earthquake. This day will always remind mankind - disaster prevention and disaster reduction!
Our country is one of the major "climate vulnerable areas" in the world. Natural disasters occur frequently, are widely distributed, and cause huge losses. China is one of the countries with the most serious natural disasters in the world. Observational facts in the 20th century have shown that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events (El Niño, drought, floods, thunderstorms, hail, storms, high temperature weather and sandstorms, etc.) caused by climate change have increased significantly, directly endangering the development of our national economy. Therefore, I believe that we should now attach great importance to disaster prevention and reduction. Some disasters are preventable.
However, it is difficult for humans to prevent some disasters caused by the earth itself. We not only need to prepare for some disasters, but also need to have some basic disaster prevention knowledge and self-defense knowledge. There are some warning signs before an earthquake occurs. For example, horses and other livestock will break free from the reins and run out crazily; hibernating snakes will rush out of their holes; bees will fly away and flee; dogs will bark, and some domestic animals will break out of the circle and run around; rats will become adults. Moving in groups... These signs can let people know in advance that an earthquake will occur. If these animals are found to have these abnormal phenomena, they must first identify the true and false, and then report to the earthquake bureau, so as to prevent it and evacuate as soon as possible.
Death is not certain when an earthquake occurs. In fact, there are many ways to save yourself.
For example: There is an earthquake and you are trapped under the rubble. At this time, do not move blindly. Be calm. Take your hands out first and slowly move the rubble. Keep your breathing smooth first and then think about it. Try to breathe and call for help. If you are at home when an earthquake occurs, you must immediately get into a small room that is hard and has not collapsed to avoid being injured.
Also, you should stick to a solid wall or squat at the door to survive after the house collapses to avoid being injured. If you are in the wild, be sure to avoid steep cliffs to prevent falling down the mountain. There is also the need to prevent landslides to avoid sliding down. If you are in school, you must follow the teacher's instructions, hide under the desk, and protect your head. If you are in physical education class, avoid tall buildings to avoid being injured. If you are in a movie theater, hide under the viewing chair to avoid shock, avoid lights hanging on the ceiling and air conditioners, use something to protect your head, and follow the command of the commander to evacuate the scene. If an earthquake occurs in a shopping mall, avoid glass cabinets, goods, billboards, lights and other items. If you are in a bus, hide under a chair or squat down, stabilize your center of gravity, and hold on to the armrests. We should keep this knowledge in mind.
Disasters are obviously merciless, but who can blame them? It's just that humans are eating the consequences of what they have sown. By protecting the natural environment well, we are protecting ourselves as humans! And this, we should start from a young age! First, cut down less trees and plant more trees, then create as little garbage as possible that is harmful to nature and recycle garbage. Then everyone must have environmental awareness and a correct understanding of the importance of environmental protection. Finally, we must know that "treating the earth well is Be kind to yourself”!
The hearts of the blue sky and white clouds are the same, hoping that the white doves can fly freely. Teachers and parents have the same heart, hoping that we will grow up healthily. Let us take action to jointly prevent disasters and make the future of our motherland better and more brilliant! Essay on Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction 4
The earth we live in is mysterious and beautiful, with its deep sky, vast ocean, and magical land... In this natural world full of vitality, we humans have had a huge impact on the earth. scale of damage. Our actual life is not as safe and beautiful as we imagined. There are various crises and disasters that even threaten all life in nature. Everything is possible.
Humans’ deforestation, excessive use of energy, hunting of rare animals, etc. have left Mother Earth scarred. Many disasters have occurred, taking away precious human lives and causing irreversible situations. Man-made disasters include fires, mudslides, soil erosion, car accidents, etc., and natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, etc. Excessive use of energy can also cause serious environmental pollution and ecological balance problems, such as global warming. However, smart humans have come up with many effective methods and created many inexhaustible energy sources. Such as solar energy, water energy, wind energy and other natural energy sources. Solar photovoltaic cells can collect light energy and convert it into electrical energy to store many photovoltaic cells for use at night and when the weather is bad.
We can avoid some disasters, and animals can predict earthquakes in advance. On the eve of the great earthquake in Tokyo, Japan, in 1923, people saw swarms of rats emerging from their caves and gathering into a rat army. In fact, in addition to rats, many other animals living on the ground and underground have this super ability to predict earthquakes. If you find that your livestock is suddenly grumpy, observe carefully to make sure, and then report it to the Earthquake Bureau. When an earthquake occurs, the indoor triangular space formed after the collapse of the house is often a relatively safe place for people to survive. Especially in small kitchens, bathrooms, etc. in buildings, the space is small and difficult to collapse. Triangular spaces formed by strong furniture such as corners or tables are suitable for shelter in times of distress. In situations where there is no table or other places to hide, you must protect your head with cushions, quilts and other soft objects no matter what, and do not blindly use the elevator to cause accidental injuries.
In the current situation where earthquake prediction is still a worldwide problem, we must strengthen the study of earthquake science knowledge, master simple escape and self-rescue methods, and be able to remain calm when encountering disasters such as earthquakes and fires. . At the same time, protect the environment, care for Mother Earth, reduce the occurrence of such natural disasters, and make the Mother Earth we live on more beautiful! Let us take action to jointly prevent disasters and make the earth brighter and more brilliant tomorrow! Essay on Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Mitigation 5
I have not encountered an earthquake disaster, but I have experienced the feeling of an earthquake. I remember one day, I was standing at the door of the hall and saw the charcoal basket for drying baby diapers in the yard suddenly shaking. Just when they were feeling strange, the old people came out of the house in a panic, saying that the doorbell rang just now and it was an "earthquake."
An earthquake is an earthquake. I heard the old man say that when Pangu created heaven and earth, the pure ones rose up to become the sky, and the turbid ones sank to become the earth. But the earth kept sinking, seemingly without stopping, until it fell into the abyss. What to do? In desperation, Pangu cut out bones from his body, and these bones turned into cattle, supporting the earth. After a long time, some cows got tired and wanted to turn over, so the ground began to tremble and an earthquake occurred.
I asked the teacher, are there really local cows? The teacher guided me and my classmates to learn about earthquakes. We understand that there are no earthworms underground. Earthquakes do not mean earthworms turn over. Earthquakes occur for a reason, which is related to geological structures.
The teacher told us that scientists are actively exploring the causes of earthquakes and have already achieved convincing results. The teacher asked us to do a small experiment. The teacher first took out a world map and asked us to cut out the land. The female classmate is so ingenious that she can cut out all seven continents in the world with just a few "chachacha" sounds. The teacher asked us to stitch together the seven continents of the world. We gestured and connected the seven continents of the world according to the different shapes of concavities and convexities. When we saw it, it was amazing that the seven continents of the world could be spliced together to form a large piece of land. We looked at the teacher with surprise, and the teacher told us that the land in the world used to be connected together.
Why are the lands separated now? The teacher asked me to lift my schoolbag and turn it over my head. As my arm rotates, the bag also moves in a circular motion. The teacher asked me to let go, and the schoolbag flew out immediately. The teacher asked me to lift my schoolbag again, then let go, and the schoolbag fell at my feet. The teacher inspired us to think about the truth. Now we understand that the reason why the schoolbag flew flat is because of the centrifugal force. The earth is constantly rotating, which also produces centrifugal force. Under the action of centrifugal force, the land on the earth's surface will drift. The land that was originally connected gradually broke apart, and over a long period of time, it became what it is today.
The teacher said that there are many reasons for earthquakes, one of which is related to the plate structure. With that said, the teacher asked us to do another experiment. A few of us stood in a row against the wall, "squeezing" from both sides to the middle. The student in the middle couldn't resist the huge "squeezing force" from both sides, and suddenly "arched" out, and the students on both sides also suddenly pressed toward the middle. The teacher told us that this is actually a simulation of the movement of crustal plates. There are many causes of earthquakes, but the movement of tectonic plates is one of the causes. In the process of drifting, the land on the earth's surface will squeeze each other. Some places will rise up and become mountains, and some places will break and become fault zones. Earthquakes often occur in fault zones in the earth's crust. Huge energy is accumulated during the movement of crustal plates, which will be released to a certain extent to form earthquakes. This is just like the "squeezing" of the classmates just now. Everyone is constantly accumulating strength in the process of "squeezing". When the students in the middle can't bear the "squeezing pressure", they suddenly "arch" out, creating a "vacation", and the "squeezing force" is released, and the students on both sides suddenly "Push" forward, that is, the earth's crust breaks, and an earthquake suddenly occurs. If the energy released is huge and a major earthquake occurs, it will cause huge damage.
The teacher’s explanation of this image made us suddenly enlightened. We have a clear and profound understanding of the causes of earthquakes. There is no ground cow underground. Earthquakes are not ground cows turning over. Earthquakes occur for a reason, which is related to geological structures.
People are afraid of earthquakes because earthquake disasters are highly destructive and can cause heavy losses of life and property.
Although we are young and have not experienced the Xingtai earthquake 40 years ago or the Tangshan earthquake 30 years ago, when the teacher told us about the disaster situation at that time, it still made us feel like we were watching a horror movie.
Although manpower cannot currently prevent the occurrence of earthquakes, if we learn and master earthquake knowledge, we can predict the occurrence of earthquakes and prevent earthquakes and reduce disasters.
The working people of ancient my country have done research on earthquakes. The "seismometer" created by Zhang Heng can accurately detect and monitor the occurrence of earthquakes. Today, in order to prevent earthquakes and reduce disasters, our country has established 27 earthquake monitoring networks. Through satellite information transmission, relevant earthquake conditions can be sent to various command centers as soon as possible within half an hour, thus effectively playing a role in earthquake prevention and disaster reduction. function to minimize the loss of people's lives and property caused by earthquake disasters.
We can also use the knowledge we have learned about earthquakes to predict the occurrence of earthquakes. There are warning signs before an earthquake occurs. We can predict earthquakes through careful observation and close monitoring, and hold the legendary "earth cow" by its "nose" so that it can obediently serve for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction.
Animals have the special ability to sense the coming of disasters in advance. It is said that before a ship sinks, the rats on board will flee the ship in droves. For another example, the text "Snow Monkeys" we learned in fourth grade tells us that snow monkeys live on the border of Yunnan Province in my country, and they are good friends of border guards. The local climate is unpredictable, and weather conditions such as cloudy, rainy, snowy, hail, wind and frost can often occur within an hour. Snow monkeys are the most sensitive to climate change. When the weather changes suddenly, the monkey king will lead his subordinates to surround the border guards. Some of them hang their heads very low, some cover their upturned noses with their paws, and some even put their nostrils on their bellies; they will jump left and right and scream at the top of their lungs. This is how they forecast the weather to border guards. The weather proverbs spread among the people are closely related to animals. For example, if ants move snakes across the aisle, there will be heavy rain in the coming day. Experienced farmers will know the weather changes by seeing the behavior of animals such as dragonflies flying low.
We can use animals’ special ability to sense the coming of disasters in advance to serve earthquake prevention and disaster reduction. The most obvious thing is that in countries and regions around the Indian Ocean where tsunamis occurred, wild animals fled before the tsunami arrived. When great disasters strike, they remain unscathed. We can predict the occurrence of earthquakes through the abnormal phenomena of animals. Before the Xingtai earthquake and the Tangshan earthquake, there were local chickens and ducks refusing to enter their nests, pigs escaping from the market, mules and horses neighing in fear, and other abnormal phenomena. Unfortunately, in the social atmosphere at that time, people were busy The so-called "revolution" had no time to take care of it, so when an earthquake occurred, it caused huge losses.
Earthquakes are not terrible. What is terrible is people’s ignorance or misunderstanding of earthquake knowledge. What is scary is not the disaster, but people's ignorance, the lag in popularizing science knowledge, and the backwardness of science and technology.
It can be said that for the Xingtai earthquake forty years ago and the Tangshan earthquake thirty years ago, the publicity and education on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction were relatively lagging behind, resulting in indifference and insensitivity in the face of obvious natural warnings, resulting in The irreparable loss makes people sigh with regret.
Having learned from the painful experience, we must carry out publicity and education on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction extensively, deeply and with great fanfare to make it a household name, thereby laying a solid foundation for earthquake disaster prevention and reduction.
