In response to the significant impact of urban waterlogging on residents, the economy, and urban infrastructure in recent years, this study introduces an innovative wargame-based evaluation approach for emergency rescue plans. The primary goal of this research is to improve emergency rescue capabilities while minimizing costs and identifying gaps in existing emergency rescue plans. To effectively evaluate these capabilities, we extract specific content related to OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) dynamics in rescue actions. Furthermore, a comprehensive index system is developed to evaluate emergency rescue capabilities in the context of urban waterlogging scenarios. To address the challenges associated with intelligent optimization and evaluation of such systems, we employ a radial basis function neural network and conduct wargame experiments to obtain data and measure capability indices. The evaluation model is trained using data samples to ensure robust performance. In addition to the proposed model evaluation and analysis framework, we also present an evaluation and analysis method for RBF (Radical Basis Function) neural networks and compare the prediction results with those obtained from GRNN (Generalized Regression Neural Network), PNN (Product-based Neural Network), and BP (Back Propagation) neural network algorithms. This model efficiently processes and fits data by simulating expert experience for evaluation purposes. Such an approach takes advantage of machine learning’s sensitivity to data characteristics, effectively avoiding the influence of human factors while stably reflecting the mapping relationship between indicators and performance outcomes. This research presents a novel solution with significant implications for the development of urban emergency rescue systems that address the challenges posed by urban waterlogging incidents.
