The Institute of Disaster Prevention Science and Technology (IDPST)was established by State Seismological Bureau (later China Seismological Bureau) in 1975. In 1985, it was promoted as the College of Seismology Techniques, and renamed IDPST by the former State Education Committee in 1992. Under the administration of China Earthquake Administration—(CEA, former China Seismological Bureau), IDPST is the only higher educational institute of disaster-prevention and reduction in China. IDPST is located at the east gate of Beijing----Yanjiao Economic and Technological Development Zone, on the east of Chaobai River, 30 km east of Tiananmen Square. The National Highway 102 runs directly to downtown Beijing. IDPST covers an area of 600 mu (40 hectares) with a total floor space of more than 140,000 m2. About 5,000 students are studying in IDPST, where there are fresh air and beautiful surroundings.
