Abstract:

In the field of modern emergency management, it is of important significance to establish the dynamic emergency organization system and rapid response mechanism based on the uncertainty of unconventional emergencies. Under this background, the emergency decision-makers should analyze the characteristic of organizational mechanism and the nature of invariable regularity of organization which has flexible structure under the dynamic change, explore an unconventional emergency organization dynamic model to adapt different scenarios. In this paper, from the perspective of system and drawing lessons from the thought of fractal, we introduce the fractal method in the theoretical study of the unconventional emergency organization system, and generate the emergency organizational fractal unit, which has the relationship of Demand-Supply (DS) and Delegation-to-do (DT) between emergency units as the main line. Then, we build the fractal emergency organization frame, and give the dynamic reconstruction mechanism of emergency organization in the different scenarios. As a case study of 8.12 Tianjin explosions, we analyze the reconstruction process of fractal emergency organization under the mutational scenarios, and verify the fractal emergency organization efficiency to respond to environmental change.

Key words: fractal, emergency organization, scenario, dynamic reconfiguration
