ABOUT US
With the rise of global temperature and extreme climate change, mountain disasters occur frequently in the South Asian countries surrounding the Himalayas and southwest China, which has a great impact on the lives of local residents and tourists and the safety of the “the Belt and Road”. In particular, local residents and passers-by have classes, and the popularity of safety education in mountain disasters is not high, so that they will encounter various problems in disaster prevention and mitigation. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to educate the public on disaster prevention and reduction safety. Through GIS based participatory map making, the public can personally participate in the process of safe escape mapping, enhance their sensitivity to disasters and awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation, further achieve safety popularization, and help them better respond to disasters. Therefore, based on GIS technology and combined with participatory mapping, we will launch international cooperation in disaster reduction education in South Asia and southwest China, to improve the resilience of the region to mountain disasters, develop courses for the “international disaster risk reduction and emergency management innovation class” of Sichuan University, give lectures and courses to 60 students.
