How to give children better education in disaster prevention and reduction?

Today, child safety accidents force the society to pay more attention to child safety education. Education for disaster prevention and reduction is an important part of this.

The reporter learned that in major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, education for disaster prevention and mitigation of primary and middle school students has become normal. Some schools will conduct emergency drills every two weeks, including fire and earthquake escape, and even simulate encounters with fugitives.

With the efforts of teachers and parents, the children's safety awareness has gradually increased. However, there are still many details that people should think about as children’s disaster prevention and disaster reduction education is improving.

First, we must consider the accuracy and practicality of disaster prevention and reduction knowledge.

If he tells the children of the kindergarten that "rainy thunder can't be under the tree," he may cleverly say, "That can be an umbrella." Adults know that trees can lead mines, and they can't shelter under trees in open areas. But what about the high-rise buildings? If you can't hide under a tree, can you use an umbrella?

Before this year’s “weather strikes were struck by lightning” that caused public concern, few people knew that it was an induced charge that occurred from the ground. When he was in an open place, holding an umbrella with a metal rod in his hand, and surrounded by many electronic devices, the induced charge could easily collect on the human body.

Although this kind of incident is accidental, it is related to personal safety. If adults are not aware of these disasters, how can they respond correctly to the children's "canopy?" Some teachers also have similar confusion.

The reporter learned that many kindergarten teachers will simply teach disaster prevention and reduction knowledge according to the changes of the season, but “there is no relevant teaching materials, no special training, and the knowledge taught is based on the general education they received when they were young.” Teachers cannot examine these heritages. Is it safe to use the hedging measures? An anonymous scientist told reporters that many disaster prevention and reduction knowledge is out of date or impractical. For example, "When you encounter a typhoon, you must put a 'm' tape on the window for reinforcement, but this first-class circumvention measures for decades will actually only apply to windows that were opened several decades ago. It does not work for today's aluminum alloy windows.

The reason is that few scientists have conducted intensive research and experimentation on science popularization for disaster prevention and reduction to verify whether the spread of knowledge is effective. Despite the wings of popular science and science and technology, people who write popular science are still relatively lacking. At this stage, science and technology for disaster prevention and reduction still only stays at the knowledge level and lacks practical and technical research.

Gu Wentao, an expert on special allowances from the State Council and deputy chairman of the Chemical Machinery Professional Committee of the China Chemical Industry Association, spoke of his own feelings: “Follow-up, meteorological science work must start at the grassroots level. How do I do? I think that meteorologists should go out and go deeper. Engage in research and study.

Based on the accurate application of science and technology for disaster prevention and reduction, it is necessary to consider the targeted nature of the dissemination. As far as children are concerned, kindergarten children and primary school students have different levels of understanding and need different modes of transmission.

Adults all know that education for disaster prevention and mitigation for children, especially young children, should be presented in a lively, lively, and vivid manner. It cannot be a boring, stylized mission. But how to do it actually requires a lot of thought.

The netizen hovering millet who used to read kindergarten in Japan said that at the time, the nursery was on the north and the hills on the south. She remembered that the teacher used a fish tank as a model. There were mountains and lakes and kindergartens. The teacher shakes the fish tank, and the "kindergarten" is gone. However, the "hills" were not affected. The teacher said that the earthquake was very likely to trigger a tsunami and he would have to follow the teacher and run to the hills. This scene is still fresh in her adulthood.

Liu Xiangli, director of the Beijing East Cotton Nursery Office, expressed his experience on the Youth Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Network. “Kids in kindergarten are small, and some real cases will not only fail to wake up, but they will scare children. However, the use of cats, puppies and other fairy tale images to display cases will have unexpected results.” Liu Xiangli said It is a nursery rhyme. "Perhaps children can't fully understand the content of nursery rhymes, but they can remember this knowledge, act on it, and slowly develop habits."

Wang Dawei, a professor at the Public Security University of China, specially wrote a series of security books. The seemingly superficial nursery rhyme is summed up in the case of the State-level project “Study on the Issue of Crime in China at this Stage”. “The task force has been working for 5 years. We told the children that 'when we run in danger, we ran behind the teacher.' Isn’t this research?” Wang Dawei said in an interview with the media.

Children’s education in disaster prevention and mitigation is just like this. If it is not the content and methods of studying and disseminating the “scientific research” mentality, whether the children really understand it and whether they can use it in the face of disasters will probably be questioned.

Of course, children's disaster prevention and reduction are the responsibility of the entire society. Today, the children's market is called "Blue Ocean" and there is a market space that needs to be developed. Many social forces have already participated. However, there are still a few people who focus on children's disaster prevention and mitigation. The government does not have appropriate policy guidance. The market generally believes that these are government actions or public welfare organizations are doing, and they have not found a meeting point. However, on the other hand, relying only on one task group, it is difficult to make disaster prevention and disaster reduction education suitable for all children.
