Abstract
The theory of emergency management life-cycle has assisted both researchers and managers. It not only is used to systematize and codify research results but also drawn upon to organize emergency activities. This paper reviews the development of the theory of emergency management life-cycle and analyzes the deficiencies. Based on the discussion and analysis on the previous studies, a new emergency life-cycle whole process model is generated. There are three phases (forecast and early warning, rescue and disposal, recovery and reconstruction) and three foundations (mitigation, preparedness, and communication) included in this model. In addition, Wenchuan earthquake is studied in this paper.
