Abstract

In the modern risk society where emergencies are frequent, improving emergency response ability is the key to achieving efficient emergency management. Using a sample of the major earthquake disasters based on Social Network Analysis, we find that the average distance weighted range and clustering coefficient of the network have significant influence on the improvement of emergency response ability. Finally, based on the above analysis and research results, we put forward some suggestions for improving the ability.
