The aim is to understand the level of a certain urban disaster rescue capability, provide orientation for urban sustainable development and develop basic research for working out future rescue criterion. And based on it, model of comprehensive evaluation of urban disaster rescue capability is established by using mathematical method. Finally, applying the evaluation system, this paper evaluates the level of disaster rescue capability of a certain city, as a sample and puts forward some proposes about how to perfect national emergency rescue system.
