Dilemmas and Improvement Paths of Emergency Management Capacity in Colleges and Universities: An Analysis Based on the 4R Model

Abstract

As higher education has entered the era of universalization, there is an increasing prominence of the conflict between the frequent occurrence of emergencies in colleges and universities and their lack of emergency management capability. On the basis of analyzing the 4R crisis management theory, we systematically analyzed the operational dilemmas of emergency management in colleges and universities from the four links (reduction, readiness, response, and recovery), which finds out that the dilemma of emergency management in colleges and universities lies not just with one weak link, but with the poor transmission mechanism among the four links like the obstruction of drill feedback for triggering the revision of emergency plans and the lag in feeding review conclusions back to the front-end links etc., accordingly, this paper put forward a capacity improvement path by optimizing the transmission nodes.
