Yang Pengchong, the Founder of the special funds and Director of the Management Committee, said in his speech: "Overall, China is one of the countries suffering from the most serious natural disasters in the world. We had seen many types of disasters with wide distribution, high frequency and heavy damage happened in China. This is a basic national situation.Each of us is indeed weak in front of disasters, but today, I hope that everyone knows that before the disaster, our consciousness and attitude, knowledge and ability can become extremely powerful.This is the initial mission and goal of our work on disaster prevention and culture. During inspection tour in Tokyo, we realized the importance and popularity of pre-disaster education from top to bottom. Every family has Disaster prevention manual and shopping malls have a  dedicated counter displaying disaster prevention product. And we visited a number of large-scale disaster prevention experience museums. Children in kindergartens and old people are systematically and continuously having three-dimensional pre-disaster education in an all-round way. Imagine that if one day, our children and Japanese children face a disaster at the same time, who is more likely to survive? Currently, we don't have systematic pre-disaster culture courses, products and experience. But  pre-disaster education admits no delay and it is the real safety education and life education, which can save lives at the key moment."
