在唐山大地震40周年之际,习近平主席专程考察了唐山市,并针对当前防灾减灾救灾形势指出,要“全面提高国家综合防灾减灾救灾能力”。这指明了新时期我国灾害应急管理的改革方向,也反映了新世纪以来世界各国的发展趋势。提高国家综合防灾减灾救灾能力的关键是完善相关体制,而美国灾害管理体制变迁的经验值得借鉴。 At the 40th anniversary of the Tangshan earthquake, President Xi Jinping paid a special visit to Tangshan City and pointed out at the current situation of disaster prevention, mitigation and disaster relief that “we should comprehensively enhance the capability of national comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation and disaster relief.” This indicates the direction for the reform of disaster emergency management in our country in the new era as well as the development trend of various countries in the world since the new century. The key to improving the capability of national comprehensive disaster prevention and reduction and relief is perfecting the relevant system, while the experience of the vicissitudes of the disaster management system in the United States is worth learning from.
