Research on construction of index system for emergency capability assessment of urban disasters and accidents
In order to carry out the assessment on the emergency capability of urban disasters and accidents based on the whole process of emergency management,and then measure the level of governmental emergency management capability,based on the Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China and a large number of literature research,an index system for the assessment on emergency capability of urban disasters and accidents was constructed,which included 4 first-level inde-xes:prevention and emergency preparedness,monitoring and early-warning,emergency disposal and rescue,recovery and re-construction,11 second-level indexes and 32 third-level indexes.Secondly,the analytic hierarchy process method was utilized to determine the weight of each index,and 12 key indexes being crucial to the improvement of emergency capability were de-rived.Finally,in light of the actual situation in Beijing,the contents of the three-level indexes were refined according to rele-vant laws,regulations and standards,and the assessment scale for the emergency capability of Beijing was developed.The scale was used to assess the emergency capability of a district in Beijing,and the improvement measures were proposed based on the assessment results.The research results provide a reference for standardizing the assessment on the emergency capabili-ty of Beijing,and also improving the level of emergency capability in mega-cities.
