A Study On Risk-based Grassland Fire Disaster Emergency Management Capacity Assessment Index System In Northern China

The previous research of natural emergency management capacity was focused on the abnormal state research, but ignore the normal job of emergency preparedness.The existence of grassland fire disaster risk is the precondition that government can take emergency measures.If grassland fire disaster risk factors were neglected in assessment model,the assessment results will be lack of comparability. Taking into account the relationship between grassland fire disaster risk and grassland fire disaster emergency management capacity, this study established the indicator system of grassland fire disaster emergency management capacity which was closely linked with the grassland fire risk level. It is of great practical significance to improve higher efficiency of grassland fire disaster emergency and reduce the grassland fire disaster losses.This study using corresponding data of grassland fire disaster from 1991 to 2006 and statistical method,we analysis spatial and temporal distributing characteristic of grassland fire disaster risk. Take 12 provinces in northern China as a study case. In terms of natural disaster generate mechanism theory,disaster emergency management theory and risk management theory,sending questionnaire to experts and scholars,the grassland fire disaster emergency management capacity index(GDEI)is set up based on the analysis of preparedness capacity,emergency capacity and recovery capacity by using weighted comprehensive analysis(WCA),analytical hierarchy process(AHP)and grassland fire disaster emergency management capacity evaluate model. The emergency management capacity values of grassland fire disaster are calculated respectively in northern China. Based on GIS ,the results were divided into weak,relatively weak,general ,relatively strong,strong,the five regionalization. The evaluation results show:Inner Mongolia belong to the regions with strong emergency management capacity of grassland fire disaster,Xin Jiang ,Liao Ning and Hei Long Jiang belong to the regions with relatively strong emergency management capacity of grassland fire disaster,Si Chuan,He Bei and Ji Lin belong to the regions with general emergency management capacity of grassland fire disaster Gan Su,Qing Hai ,Shan Xi and Ning Xia belong to the regions with relatively weak emergency management capacity of grassland fire disaster ,Shan Xi belong to the regions with weak emergency management capacity of grassland fire disaster.This paper gives a pilot study for the grassland fire disaster emergency management capacity assessment and management countermeasures taking 12 provinces in northern China as a case study.The results contribute to a correct understanding of the grassland fire disaster emergency management level in northern China. This study can be expected to the reference and guidance for grassland fire disaster management and reducing the losses from it.
