1 the director of the china earthquake disaster defense centre, commissioner wu jian, noted the historic achievements of our emergency response management capacity during the “1455” period, and the extensive application of emerging technologies has significantly improved the level of disaster prevention and response. 2. The complex trend towards “cross-regionalization, systemization, chainization and amplification” in the face of the effects of natural disasters and the deepening of cutting-edge scientific understanding and the application of state-of-the-art technical tools have become key ways of improving the effectiveness of efforts. Commissioner wu stressed the need to strengthen efforts to deepen the application of science and technology in three ways: by continuously increasing the number of investments in organized science, technology and innovation and enhancing the orientation of science and technology for empowerment; by continuing to scale up basic inputs, such as detection and monitoring, to ensure that cutting-edge technologies are efficiently translated into actual disaster preparedness; and by continuing to strengthen the building of a composite workforce to improve the overall quality of research, operations and management。
