Earthquake Induced China'S Disaster Prevention Industry

In 2001, the United States "9.11" spawned the US anti-terrorism industry, attracting a large number of venture capital into the field of homeland security.

After encountering natural disasters such as "snow disaster" and "earthquake" this year, China's disaster prevention and mitigation industry is expected to turn risks into revenue. The government will invest more resources in the development of disaster prevention industry, and the disaster prevention industry will also win the favor of venture capitalists.

China's natural disasters will become an opportunity for the government to strengthen disaster prevention legislation.

In the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, the collapse of houses resulted in numerous casualties, interruption of communication and paralysis of enterprise information system, resulting in huge economic losses.

The safety of buildings and the security of information systems are the problems that must be faced after the disaster.

The prediction and forecast of major disasters, geo information, counter-terrorism and disaster, professional assistance, robotics, dual-use optoelectronic technology and other fields will be a fast developing industry in the future.

After several major disasters, it is expected that a group of competitive products and high-tech enterprises can be quickly formed to rapidly upgrade the scale and efficiency of industrialization.

After the Wenchuan earthquake, the construction vibration control and monitoring will be written into the relevant civil engineering structure regulations.

If there are national standards or regulations, there will be a market for disaster prevention and mitigation technology in civil engineering structures.

Professor Xiao Yiqing, Professor of disaster prevention and mitigation research center of Shenzhen graduate school, Harbin Institute of Technology, believes that the government's most important driving force is to raise the standards for disaster prevention and expand the market for disaster prevention industries.

It is difficult to popularize disaster prevention technology only by the demand of enterprises.

The new technology of building disaster prevention is mainly applied to the major projects of the government at present, and the use of new technologies for disaster prevention in domestic civil housing is not large.

The government will improve the seismic standards of buildings, and developers and individuals will be forced to drive when building houses. The new technology of disaster prevention will be used to enhance the safety of housing structures.

It is reported that adding some fibers, polymers, modified admixtures and high damping concrete technology to the concrete can double the damping ratio of the widely used concrete, and the damping ratio is the most important parameter affecting the structural vibration response. This very promising technology is still in the laboratory reserve stage and has not yet been applied.

Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, stressed that strengthening the security of information systems is an important basic work of the securities and futures industry in May 20th.

Lin Lin, senior vice president of GDS, a disaster backup outsourcing service company, told reporters: "in the past, Chinese enterprises did not consider the disaster backup of information system adequately.

In the United States, the disaster backup of the government forced listed companies must be audited to maintain the listing qualification.

At present, there are mainly banks and insurance companies, and some overseas listed domestic enterprises have also established a disaster backup system under the mandatory requirements of overseas securities markets.

As the Information Office of the State Council, the people's Bank of China and the CIRC have launched the disaster recovery management standard, the disaster backup service industry is in the trend of accelerated development.

In recent years, the government has been actively involved in compiling all kinds of guidelines and specifications for disaster backup and promoting the expansion of the disaster backup outsourcing market, which will benefit the future disaster backup industry.

Who will win the favor of venture capital in the disaster prevention industry, there are different subdivision areas, only the leader in the field of subdivision will win the favor of investors.

With the government's disaster backup specification promulgated, the market is starting, it is a good time for venture capital to intervene.

The common feature of the disaster prevention industry is that the brand effect is very strong, only the first place, not second.

Investors are leaders in the field of segmentation.

Someone in the venture capital industry pointed out that "in the investment stage of disaster prevention, we should be calm."

The disaster prevention industry is also related to the economic development level of a country and the awareness of disaster prevention among economic individuals.

Because the probability of disaster is relatively small, the investment stage of disaster prevention industry is very long.

It is understood that in the field of building disaster prevention, most of the technology is still in the laboratory, and has no access to the product, which requires the intervention of capital and managers.
