By means of data and cases, this study comprehensively shows the development and application of science and technology in disaster reduction of China and brings up the strategies to strengthen public safety through mechanism design. Science and technology of disaster prevention and reduction in China are developing rapidly, with professional emergency products, medical products and outdoor protection products being the most common categories for disaster reduction. Meanwhile, risk analysis and managing ability are important subjects in the field of emergency management, in which risk perception, early warning system, ability evaluation and mitigation technology are the foundation of disaster reduction. The paper also points out that improving the legal system, establishing support platform and giving full play to the role of scientific research institutions can ensure the long-term and stable development of science and technology in the disaster reduction in China.
