摘要：In China’s port industry, there is currently a lack of sound, systematic guidance and standards for the assessment of emergency-response capability. Taking the current emergency-management situation in China’s port industry as a starting point, this study analyzed current problems in emergency-response capability and examined advanced domestic and foreign practices in emergency management. The elements of emergency-response capability assessment were then established based on the following four aspects: organizational system, legal basis, operation mechanism, and guarantee system. An emergency-response capability assessment method was then constructed using the Delphi method and applied in practice. This method can help guide port businesses in performing their emergency-management duties; improve their prevention, early warning, and emergency-management abilities; and play a guiding role in building emergency-response capability with regard to accident prevention and rescue operations.
