Abstract :
In front of various disasters, the remote rural areas of China appear to be more vulnerable. Because of lacking sufficient attention, disaster reduction in these areas has become the short board of the disaster prevention and reduction system in China. Therefore, this paper lays special stress on analyzing the causes that giving rise to this phenomenon, and the deficiencies in execution, and then proposes some practicable ways to change this situation.
