ABSTRACT

The risk of emergency in the city group is becoming increasingly prominent. In this study, the importance of determining the influencing factors by using a structural equation model is assumed to be related to the emergency rescue capability of the city group. Firstly, by using existing literature and discussions, and questionnaires designed for a number of experts and local emergency department staff. 513 questionnaires were collected and 24 key factors affecting emergency evacuation capability were identified. Secondly, the hypothetical structural equation model of influencing factors and its relationship with emergency rescue ability were proposed. Finally, the relationship between the influencing factors and its influence on the emergency rescue ability was analyzed. Results suggest that most of the influencing factors have a significant impact on the capability of rescue under chemical fire accident. The results of this study can be used to improve the level of chemical fire accident rescue in a risk event in an existing frontier city group in the north of China.
