Although China's disaster relief capacity has improved greatly after many large-scale natural disasters, disaster prevention education is still lagging behind. The China Poverty Alleviation Foundation conducted a survey of the Chinese public's disaster prevention awareness in 2015, and the results showed that only 24.3% of urban residents expressed concern about disaster response knowledge, and this data was only 11% in rural areas. In addition, less than 4% of urban residents made basic disaster preparedness in daily life, and more than half of rural residents I have never participated in any disaster prevention training. The useless disaster prevention education can not improve the self-rescue ability of the people. After the disaster occurs, the organization and learning begin, and the lost lives are irretrievable.
