Abstract

Natural disasters happened frequently in Hainan province,which challenges the Hainan local government emergency management capacity focusing on natural disasters. The aim of this study was to assess natural disasters emergency management capacity of Hainan government. During the period of six months, we mainly adopted the approach of questionnaire and interview for evaluating the public evaluation of natural disaster emergency management in Hainan province.Through making analysis for the present status of emergency management, public satisfaction index (PSI), emergency level, and emergency fund transparency, emergency publicity etc of natural disasters in Hainan province, the results we obtained demonstrate that the overall satisfaction degree of public evaluation for natural disaster emergency management in Hainan Province is not very high. We suggest that government should promote emergency management capacity from the perspective of early warning before disaster, construct an emergency management mechanism of natural disaster which is more adaptive to Hainan province’s own need from the aspects of response level in disaster, production recovery after disaster, psychological intervention after disaster and so on, thus Government’s image of ‘serving people’ is setted up. This study will further promote the government emergency management capacity for natural disasters.
