Abstract:

In order to objectively assess urban emergency preparedness, and address the issues of poor data collection standardization and strong subjectivity in the evaluation of urban emergency preparedness capacity in the past, research on the construction and application of assessment index system was conducted. Firstly, the establishment of the evaluation index pool was based on the provisions of the Emergency Response Law, the requirements for the safe development of urban construction, and the content of the provincial and municipal "14th Five Year Plan" emergency system construction plan. It also drew on the experience of the disaster resilience score card for cities issued by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Then, based on the statistical analysis of the current research results of emergency preparedness capacity in 36 regions, a 2-level evaluation system and grading criteria for responding to natural disasters and accident disasters, including 6 first-level indicators and 38 second-level indicators, were constructed. The evaluation model had been applied in a county-level City A in Jiangsu Province. The results show that the constructed "6-38" system has good adaptability to the characterization of urban emergency preparedness capacity, and the evaluation model can effectively identify the shortcomings of urban emergency capacity. It is shown that the quantitative characterization rate of the constructed "6-38" evaluation system indicators exceeds 80%. The evaluation results of City A are relatively consistent with its actual situation, which objectively reflects the overall level of emergency preparedness. Therefore, it indicates that the model is feasible and effective.

Key words: emergency preparedness capability, assessment index system, grading criteria, monitoring and warning
