Analysis of the Origin, Examination of the Predicament and Improvement of the Efficacy of Emergency Volunteer Activities from the Perspective of Disaster Politics

Abstract

Disaster politics is the science that studies how the state uses the power of political power to carry out response activities such as prevention and emergency preparedness, monitoring and early warning, emergency response and rescue, and post-event recovery and reconstruction of various major disasters. As the earliest self-help and mutual rescue behavior taken by human beings to fight against disasters, the interactive relationship between emergency volunteer activities and national rescue activities originated from the tension between man and nature and between people, and gradually became an important symbol of social civilization and progress under the role of culture. However, in recent years, emergency volunteer activities have faced many difficulties in the process of interacting with the state, such as insufficient ability to obtain resources, lack of rule of law, lack of digital platforms, lack of coordination and action mechanisms, uneven professional capabilities, and insufficient incentives and guarantees. To solve many problems in the whole process of disaster co-governance, it is necessary to continuously strengthen education and guidance, promote the connection between supply and demand, strengthen the role of the rule of law, promote social co-governance, build a "peacetime and emergency" system, establish an on-site command mechanism and an effective coordination mechanism, and improve the evaluation standards and incentive and guarantee systems, so as to continuously improve the effectiveness of emergency volunteer activities at a time when disasters tend to be extreme and frequent.
