| Public crisis events are characterized by suddenness,extensiveness and implication,which can cause a huge impact on social order and even pose a great threat to people’s life and health safety.Although China has promulgated a series of policy documents on public crisis management response,such as the Regulations on Emergency Response to Public Health Emergencies,there are still some problems with the actual social crisis governance in the country.Since the discovery of the New Crown Pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan,Hubei Province in late 2019,all provinces and regions in China have experienced different degrees of New Crown Pneumonia outbreaks and have resulted in more than 100,000 people being infected with the New Crown Pneumonia virus,and nearly 5,000 people have lost their lives in this public health crisis.The devastation of the public health crisis is evident.In addition to causing casualties,the new crown pneumonia epidemic has also had an impact on the socio-economic development of the country.Although the New Crown Pneumonia epidemic has been more effectively controlled by the cooperation of our government and people,there are still some shortcomings in the collaborative management of all social actors.The timely learning of the crisis management experience of all social actors during the prevention and control of this New Crown pneumonia epidemic,improving the structure of the public governance system,and enhancing the ability of China to respond to public health crisis events are the key issues that government departments need to focus on at present.After learning the concept and types of public crisis through literature research method,this paper clarifies the concept and characteristics of public health events belonging to the New Crown pneumonia epidemic,and summarizes the theories of emergency management,crisis management and collaborative governance.Then,combining the case study method and data analysis method,this paper composes the development history of the New Crown pneumonia epidemic in China and summarizes the epidemic management achievements.Then,this paper summarizes and analyzes the main initiatives of social crisis management in China under the New Crown pneumonia epidemic,and finds that urban and rural communities,social organizations,charities and people all play different functions and roles in the prevention and control of the New Crown pneumonia epidemic,and analyzes the collaborative social management at the early and late stages of the epidemic prevention and control in Wuhan City as an example.However,as far as the actual situation is concerned,there are some general deficiencies in the social emergency governance of the New Crown Pneumonia epidemic in China’s provinces and cities.For example,the ability of talent regulation and control is not strong,and the organization and mobilization of the masses are not enough;the credibility of social organizations is not enough and their service capacity is low;there is a shortage of relevant medical supplies;and the information processing capacity is not enough.After analyzing the causes of each of these problems,this paper puts forward targeted suggestions for optimization and improvement from four aspects: legal system construction,participation mechanism of diversified subjects,emergency event handling capacity,and public crisis information unification and handling capacity.First,each region in China should strengthen the construction of relevant legal systems,focusing on grassroots emergency management legislation and clarifying the governance responsibilities of each participating subject.Second,we should improve the participation mechanism of multiple subjects,build up a joint governance system for urban and rural communities in emergency situations,and improve the management and operation capacity of NGOs.Third,it is necessary to improve the ability of each subject to deal with emergency events,establish a regular operating mechanism for medical prevention and epidemic management,build a specialized social emergency response management team,and strengthen the crisis time management ability of personnel from all parties.Fourth,it is necessary to improve the comprehensive processing capacity of public crisis information,enhance the awareness of information integration,establish a quality sharing center,and build a linkage and collaboration platform based on this,and construct a multifaceted social body emergency linkage mechanism.Only by fully mobilizing the power of all sectors of society and relying on a perfect institutional system and joint defense mechanism can we effectively reduce the destructiveness of sudden public health crisis events.It is hoped that the above optimized governance measures can further improve the emergency management system of public health crisis events in China,enhance the crisis response and governance capacity of provinces and cities,lay the foundation for the subsequent protracted battle of the New Crown Pneumonia epidemic,and also prepare for the response and treatment of other public health crisis events in the future,fully reduce the losses caused by public health crisis,protect the lives of local residents,and maintain the order of social operation. |
