Research On The Operating Mechanism Of Emergency Response In China

Under the background of the economic globalization, social complexity and the deteriorating natural environment, the emergency has become an unavoidable challenge in the social management. The ability to manage and respond to emergencies become one of the important capabilities that the modern government must prepare for. The effectiveness of the management depends not only on the construction of the organizations, but also depends on the operating mechanism. Perfect system requires a good operation in order to bring the desired effect. A government's ability to respond to the emergencies can be concrete embodied during the operating process of the emergency management system. How to respond to the emergencies quickly, and to make the emergency management system operate effectively, have become an important subject to enhance the government's capacity. In addition, emergency management includes four stages:mitigation, preparation, response and recovery. As the most direct response to the emergency, the response stage fundamentally determines the effectiveness of the emergency management. Therefore, to improve the operating mechanism of emergency response has great significance to strengthen capacity-building for emergency management of the government. So long as a reasonable response mechanism, all emergencies are able to be controlled and eliminated, and can provide a long-term stability environment to the social development. Improving the operating mechanism of emergency response could allow our emergency management system be further improved, could greatly enhance our ability to respond to emergencies, and has great significance to improve the comprehensive ability of the government. In this essay, through analyzing the current operating mechanism of emergency response of our country, find out the defects and shortcomings, and provide the basis to the construction of the operating mechanism of emergency response of our country. By many methods such as the literature, case studies and comparative research, etc, using the command decision-making mechanism, communication and coordination mechanism, and plan-starting mechanism which are the three aspects of the responsing mechanism of emergency response as the main line, the thesis gives a deeply research and discuss to the basic situation, problems and the corresponding countermeasures of the responsing mechanism of emergency management. The essay first generally analyzes the operating mechanism of emergency response. Define the emergency, emergency response, operating mechanism and other related concepts, and sum up the relevant theory, and elaborate the three aspects of operating mechanism of emergency response. Then, with the example of 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the essey analyzes the status quo and existing problems of our operating mechanism of emergency response. Wenchuan earthquake is a highly representative successful case of emergency response. Government's rapid response, disclosed information and effective communication between departments make the emergency management of Wenchuan earthquake carrid out smoothly and orderly, and recognized by the country and the world. This shows the progress our government make since the SARS, but it still exists some shortcomings that need further refinement. Finally, based on the previous analysis of theories and the status quo, propose constructive recommendations from the command decision-making mechanism, communication and coordination mechanism, and plan-starting mechanism. Hope to improve the operating mechanism of emergency response of our government, and to enhance the capacity to respond to emergencies.
