早在2004年3月,温总理就提出要“加快建立健全各种突发事件应急机制,提高政府应对公共危机的能力”。对于地方政府而言,从应急管理的机制到法制保障,从应急管理的观念到执行能力,都存在较为突出的问题。因此,如何提高地方政府应急管理能力是当前需要进一步总结和研究的重要课题。 As early as March 2004, Premier Wen Jiabao proposed to “speed up the establishment and improvement of various emergency response mechanisms and enhance the government’s ability to cope with public crises.” For local governments, there are prominent problems, from the mechanism of emergency management to the guarantee of legal system, from the concept of emergency management to the capability of implementation. Therefore, how to improve the emergency management ability of local governments is an important issue which needs further summarization and research.
