Study on Emergency Response Coordination in Unconventional Emergencie

Abstract

Because of the complexity and coordination in unconventional emergencies, and the objective requirements of efficient response to unconventional emergencies, it is necessary for us to strengthen the construction of emergency response under the concept of “big emergencyâ€. There are many deficiencies in emergency response coordination, we can put forward the feasible countermeasures and suggestions for the efficient response coordination in unconventional emergencies through the “A Plan and Three Systemâ€, participants, information, resources and other aspects. Since this century, whether the “Katrina†hurricane in America, “5.12†earthquake in China and other natural disasters, or SARS, avian influenza, Ebola virus and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and other public health crisis, or some terrorist attacks such as the “9.11†and the Boston bombings, or Malaysia Airlines MH370 and so on, these events had wide ranging effect and serious consequences, characterized by complexity and potential secondary harm, which are difficult to deal with in the conventional way. How to deal with unconventional incidents effectively is an important issue that must be addressed urgently. This paper tries to analyze main characteristics and internal rules of such incidents, put forward countermeasures and suggestions for strengthening the construction of emergency response coordination system, and improve the comprehensive ability in responding to such emergencies for all levels of government and the public.
