Thoughts on Construction of a Hierarchical Municipal Emergency Logistics System Based on Multi-party Collaboration
In this paper,in the context of the emergency logistics practice of Chinese cities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,from four aspects:inter-agent collaboration,element allocation,formulation and rehearsal of emergency plans,and dynamic interaction of operations,we go over systematically the main diffi-culties faced by an urban emergency logistics system,including mismatch between the multi-party working mechanism of emergency logistics and the requirements on emergency logistics coordination,insufficient and unbalanced resources allotment of emergency logistics elements,imperfect emergency response plan-ning,and lack of interactive means at multiple levels of the emergency logistics system.On this basis,starting from the perspective of"hierarchical management"and"collaborative governance",we construct the hierar-chical system of urban multi-party collaborative emergency logistics and according to the concept of vertical stratification and horizontal zoning,we design the overall framework of the hierarchical system of urban multi-party collaborative emergency logistics with"one platform,four systems,and multiple guarantees"as the core and"decision-making layer,coordination layer,operation layer,and guarantee layer"as the main hierarchies.At the same time,we split the urban emergency logistics organization system into four levels:city level,district level,street(township)level,and community(village)level,and propose the hierarchical opera-tion system of urban multi-party collaborative emergency logistics and its operation workflows.Finally,we analyze the key tasks and measures for the construction of the municipal multi-party collabora-tive emergency logistics hierarchical system,mainly including:in view of the demand for cross-departmen-tal,cross-agent,and cross-hierarchical collaboration,promoting the establishment of an urban emergency logistics command and coordination mechanism;steadily improving the comprehensive support capabilities of urban emergency logistics to form a joint force;compiling and improving the municipal emergency logis-tics hierarchical response plan with multi-scenario adaptation,multi-hierarchical collaboration,and multi-modal transport;closely following the relevant national policies and the future development needs of specific cities to promote the construction of the urban emergency logistics public information platform.The urban multi-party collaborative emergency logistics hierarchical system constructed in this paper is not only a sum-mary of the existing practice and wisdom on urban emergency logistics,but also has reference value for cities to promote the construction of emergency logistics systems in time of emergencies.
