Abstract: Based on the practice of the university student innovation and entrepreneurship training program “Emergency Voice, Translation Together - Forging the Sense of Community of the Chinese Nation under the Perspective of Han-Tibetan-Yi Trilingual Emergency Language Propaganda,” and combined with the practical investigation of “emergency language” in Yuexi County, this paper explores the application and promotion of emergency language in multi-ethnic areas. Through methods such as literature review, questionnaire survey, and field research, this paper analyzes the current status and issues of emergency language services in the southwestern multi-ethnic regions of China, proposes a multi-language, multi-modal emergency language propaganda model, and verifies its effectiveness. The results of the practical investigation show that the emergency language propaganda materials and short videos combining Han, Tibetan, and Yi languages can effectively break through language barriers, enhance the emergency awareness and coping abilities of local villagers, and are of great significance for disaster prevention and mitigation in multi-ethnic areas. Meanwhile, it also contributes to forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation.

Keywords: Emergency Language Services; Chinese-Tibetan-Yi Trilingual; Multimodal Publicity; Forging a Strong Sense of Community among the Chinese Nation.
