To correctly identify cities' weak links in responding to various situations

and to investigate the best way to strengthen their emergency response capabilities. A

study on the measuring and upgrading of urban emergency response capability was

conducted, with cities in China's N province serving as research subjects. Based on

the integration of system security and emergency management, we constructed a

three-dimensional construction framework of urban emergency response capability,

including "disaster-development-response dimension", formed a comprehensive factor

set of "4E-4R-4M" for emergency response capability(expressed as four types of

Emergencies - four phases of emergency management process- four factors of

Man-Machine-Media-Management). A comprehensive weight calculation method that

deeply integrates subjective judgement, data characteristics and variable weight

assignment is proposed, and a mathematical model is used to measure the urban

emergency response capability, using A+, A, A-, B+, ..., D, D- to indicate the different

levels of the emergency response capability, and ArcGIS software is used to achieve

the spatial visual presentation and analysis of the urban emergency response

capability.The measurement results show a good consistency with the actual situation

in N province, pointing out that there are problems such as insufficient ability to

prevent and resolve risks, weak emergency response foundation and lack of talents in

N province, and proposing a special programme to enhance the emergency response

capacity for different cities, which is of certain guiding significance and reference

value for the scientific and efficient enhancement of the emergency response capacity

of cities in case of emergencies.
