Abstract

It is difficult to get prompt assistance from outside world when major disasters occur in mountain communities. Therefore, the autonomous disaster prevention activities in mountain communities are particularly important. However, there are few studies about current status of disaster prevention activities in mountainous communities in China disaster-prone area, like Sichuan Province. Thus, we conducted interviews and a questionnaire to community autonomous disaster prevention organizations and residents in mountain area of Sichuan province, and evaluated the current situation and problems of disaster prevention activities. By combining with the characteristics of communities, the development trends of autonomous disaster prevention activities can be provided.
