Mutual influence among groups is surely more extensive and deep. This inevitably makes the nature of the crisis, the occurred means, the scope of spreading, impact caused, etc., a great change than ever before. Especially in today's growing popularity of digital forms of communication, its inherent characteristics give crisis more "contents," among which, the improper spread of rumors brought about a greater degree of difficulty and intensity to the government crisis management. This not only gives us a new topic, but also a new challenge to the current Government, that is, under the digital development background, how the Government takes actions to deal with the improper rumors spread in the crisis, how the Government interacts with the digital media to engage in healthy collaboration, eliminate undue gossip and panic emotions of residents, stabling people's psychology, eliminate barriers to the government crisis management, so that the government crisis management can facilitate the development of management work, to defuse the crisis, turn crises into opportunities, to maintain social stability, and maintain the smooth functioning of society.Rumor is a kind of message or statement which neither is known nor confirmed, usually seen in the social environment with high uncertainty, and the time when formal communication channels such as mass media, which do not flow or weakened.
