  3. I.INTRODUCTION

  4. I.INTRODUCTION: Natural disasters Wenchuan Earthquake(2008) Beijing in a pollution haze (2013) 7.21 flood in Beijing(2012) Typhoon in Fujian province(2009)

  5. I.INTRODUCTION: Public emergencies

  6. II. The effective measures taken by Chinese government • The national emergency management system has already been founded. • It means relevant public sectors and organizations, under the unified leadership of the state, will respond to public emergencies in accordance with the comprehensive coordination, category management, and territorial management based principle. • In this emergency response system, the highest administration institute is the states council, and a command organization will be organized to carry out emergency management task when public emergency occurs.

  7. II. The effective measures taken by Chinese government Formulation of contingency plan is maturing in China

  8. II. The effective measures taken by Chinese government • China has already developed the Public Emergency Response Law. • More than 60 related laws and regulations were authorized. Emergency Management legal system has been basically established in China

  9. II. The effective measures taken by Chinese government A large amount of supporting resource has been put into the construction of emergency response capability in China. • Recent years, the central government invested a total of tens of billions of funds, focusing on a reserve of emergency supplies and emergency teams and equipment construction. • Monitoring and early warning capabilities for various types of public emergencies continue to improve, and the ability of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction has significantly improved.

  10. III.Problemsand challenges

  11. III.Problemsand challenges In emergency prevention stage, there is lack of general awareness of the whole society on the emergency normalized science communication capability building.

  12. III.Problemsand challenges • imperfect science communication organization system • Weak rapid response mechanism • insufficient consultant ability

  13. III.Problemsand challenges There are no effective resources integrated and comprehensive emergency science communication service system, as well as the lack of effective emergency science communication public service system. During emergency management stage, problems often caused by fragmented and scattered layout of the emergency science communication resources.

  14. III.Problemsand challenges The problems laid in the normalized construction of emergency science communication capability are also should be pay attention.

  15. IV. Practice and valuable case study • May 12th(5.12): the National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day 2012.5.12

  16. IV. Practice and valuable case study • Typical Case: Scientists and Media face-to-face To pave a platform for scientists and media to conduct their communications on an equal basis, to deepen the media' s understanding of the S&T information implied in the social hot issues and to improve mutual communication between scientists and media.

  17. IV. Practice and valuable case study List of the subjects • Flying kiss to the deep sky: get to know China' s aerospace • 2012 has come: usher into another round of peak years of the sun movement • Get to know super bacteria • Food security under the global context

  18. IV. Practice and valuable case study Typical cases analysis • Mainstream media's mechanism of large-scale cooperation and collaboration. • Improvement of media's coverage of some scientific issues and hotly-debated topics in terms of its in-depth analysis. • Sound establishment of a long-term mechanism regarding communication between scientist and media with respect to emergency science communication capability building. • A robust calling for the establishment of science communication talents to provide professional talents for media and scientific practitioners during emergencies

  19. IV. Practice and valuable case study www.guokr.com: ‘rumor mill’

  20. IV. Practice and valuable case study www.guokr.com: ‘rumor mill’ • Major Characters: • Firstly, its content is highly correlated with hot social issues and response to various rumors in time. • Secondly, it has vivid and fashionable appearance, and cleverly exposes rumors and pseudo-science. • Thirdly, it focused on scientific thoughts, scientific methods and helps the public deal with rumors rationally. • Fourthly, it has all of the new features of New Media, such as low-cost, hyperlinks and repository.

  21. IV. Practice and valuable case study Practice of CAST CAST has gradually formed the organizational mechanisms to respond to major emergencies in the mobilization and organization of scientific and technological workers.

  22. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 1.To strengthen and perfect the emergency scientific resources security system. In 2015, 7 comprehensive emergency science communication resource centers( cover seven regions) will be established around the country, 50 specific and professional emergency science communication resource center ( cover capitals and major cities) will be constructed and 1000 grass-root emergency science communication service stations will be set.

  23. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 2. To strengthen the emergency science team and capacity building. By 2015, 50 Emergency science communication resources and equipment specialization, standardization the Emergency science teams will be built up, which can cover all of the provincial capital cities and larger cities.

  24. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 3. To Improve emergency coordination system science organizations.

  25. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 4. To develop and perfect the emergency response plan and working norms. Summarize emergency science communication work experience, and comprehensive analysis emergency plan provisions on emergency science communication , to establish contingency plans and work norms for emergency science communication , and gradually form a emergency science communication management mechanism and working mechanism.

  26. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 5. Building up the emergency science communication database and technical support system. By 2015, seven regional emergency science communication resources integration and service base will be set up.

  27. V. Perspective in next five-years plan • 6. To construct and perfect national emergency science communication digital public service system. • Study and regulate access standards and conformity assessment procedure of emergency science communication public service system, as long as its work norm and networks management regulations. • Gradually, a set of mechanisms of emergency science communication digital public service system will be established, which is including: normalized access, network running, systematic administration and standard evaluation. • Digitalization and intellectualization will be gradually achieved in emergency science communication public service.

  28. V. Perspective in next five-years plan 7. Establish and improve the reserve and dispatching system of emergency science communication resources. Gradually improve emergency science resources reserve directory, and improve dispatching mechanism of emergency science communication resources among different regions and sectors. To improve the timeliness of emergency science communication resource supply.

  29. VI. Discussions • First, we need promote the establishment of a sound emergency science communication policy and regulation system.

  30. VI. Discussions • Second, We should take full advantage of Linkage and collaboration mechanisms of the science communication work to strengthen and improve the collaboration mechanism of emergency science communication work. • Third, diverse types, reasonable layout, comprehensive national emergency science communication Resource Centers need to be established in China.

  31. VI. Discussions • Four, building various emergency science communication service centers, which have clear themes and cover a wide range of content. • Five, More attention should be paid on the construction of grassroots emergency science communication resource security system. It means the integration of grassroots emergency science communication resources and strengthening grassroots emergency science communication facilities construction.

  32. VI. Discussions • Six, Emergency science communication talent training and cultivation deserve more concern from decision-makers. • We need cultivate a high level of professional and part of high-quality emergency science communication professional team via all sorts of education patterns, which may include school education, on-the-job training, and further education at abroad, as well as international exchange and practice. • Besides the full-time science communication professionals, we need also create a multi-level, wide-ranging, multi-type talent team of emergency science communication volunteers.

  33. VI. Discussions • Seven, To establish and improve emergency science communication information publishing and the media-oriented mechanism. • The CAST organizations at all levels should strengthen the emergency public-oriented science knowledge and information consulting services; establish smooth interaction emergency science knowledge and information dissemination channels.

  34. VI. Discussions • Eight, to establish monitoring and evaluation mechanism for emergency science communication capability building. • We should study and formulate a comprehensive construction standards and guidelines on emergency science communication resources. • Research and develop impact assessment indicators system of emergency science communication resource during a critical time periods, and release annual evaluation report on major emergencies science communication activities.

  35. VI. Discussions • The last but not the least, Emergency science communication research is asked for Strengthened. It has two aspects: • Strengthening Emergency science communication basic theory research , to provide theoretical and intellectual support for capacity building for emergency science communication . • Strengthening emergency science communication research on policy and regulations, to provide theoretical support for the development and standardization work of the Emergency science communication plan.
