Development Strategy of Smart Emergency-Response Technology for Disasters and Accidents by 2035

The development of smart emergency-response technology for natural disasters and accidents is an important part of public safety; it is also vital for China to improve its national governance and safety level. This study aims to clarify the long-term goals for smart emergency-response technology development by 2035 and provide support for the systematic planning and forward-looking deployment of a smart emergency-response strategy in China. Considering the development needs, this study analyzes the international situation and main development trends of the smart emergency-response technology for disasters and accidents. Subsequently, we analyze the current status and problems of China’s development from the aspects of natural disaster prevention, accident prevention, and emergency platform construction. Considering the development of the new-generation information technology, we propose an overall framework and strategic directions for the development of smart emergency-response technology in China, including important technological development directions, key basic research directions, and major scientific and technological research and development tasks. Furthermore, we propose corresponding suggestions from the aspect of policy and theoretical system research.
