Government Emergency Response Assessment from a Novel Perspective of GB/T37228-2018—A Case Study in China

Abstract

With the development of the economy and science and technology, the threat of various emergencies has brought severe governance challenges to governments. In order to minimize the harm and loss of emergencies and further improve the authority and credibility of government, this study uses the two-tuple linguistic information method to assess the indicator system of H Government of China constructed according to the GB/T37228-2018 standard (Societal security—Emergency management—Requirements). The result shows that the management of emergency resource management, information collection methods, response and guarantee plans, and other aspects is relatively standardized. However, the middle and late stages of emergency management are relatively weak, which is mainly reflected in the continuity of situation assessment, in information sharing and feedback, and in the coordination process. The current work implies that the GB/T37228-2018 standard broadens the approach of government emergency response assessment and strengthens the standardization process of emergency response. It also challenges the implicit knowledge of emergency response, the integration of time and space variables, and other issues.
