Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day is May 12th.

The National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day was established with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. Since 2009, May 12th every year has been the National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day. On the one hand, it complies with the demands of all walks of life for China's disaster prevention and reduction, and on the other hand, it reminds the people to never forget the past and learn from the future, pay more attention to disaster prevention and reduction, and strive to reduce disaster losses.

The icon of the Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day uses rainbow, umbrella and human as the basic elements. The rainbow with clear sky after rain symbolizes beauty, future and hope. The arc-shaped image of umbrella represents protection and care. The individual represents a man, a woman, an old person and a young person. The hands held by the two people and the legs of the two people below form the word "public", which means that everyone joins hands and works together to prevent and reduce disasters. The entire logo reflects positive thoughts and the intention to protect the safety of people's lives and property.
