为减少生命财产损失,迫切需要使社区为应对自然灾害作好准备、安装预警系统以及处理紧急事件,这是在日本举行的世界减灾会议的主题,会议计划纪念1995年神户大地震。由于2004年12月发生空前的印度洋海啸,会议的主题更加突出。会议讨论的重点是为了防止将来发生这种悲剧所要采取的应对措施。 To reduce the loss of life and property, there is an urgent need to prepare communities to respond to natural disasters, install early warning systems and deal with emergencies, the theme of the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in Japan, which plans to commemorate the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Due to the unprecedented Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004, the theme of the conference was even more prominent. The focus of discussions at the conference was to prevent the response to such a tragedy in the future.
