Analysis of Metro Flood Incidents During Operation and Suggestions for Emergency Management Informatization

Abstract

Objective Once the metro flood incident occurs during operation, mild cases will cause train delay and even train suspension, while severe cases can result in property loss and worse, personal injury. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the urban metro flood incidents and informatize the emergency management. Method Based on statistics, the typical metro flood incidents during operation in recent years are classified, and the causes are analyzed from both objective and subjective aspects. The problems in flood management and emergency response are summarized. The intelligent requirements for emergency management information platform are discussed, suggestions and measures on emergency management informatization are put forward. Result & Conclusion The problems in management and emergency response of metro flood incidents during operation include insufficient attention to flood in external operations that arise in daily management and emergency response, unclear shutdown standards, poor guidance of emergency plans, insufficient reserves of emergency materials and unsmooth linkage mechanism, as well as untimely information communication. The measures to informatize emergency management include establishing an emergency management information platform, reasonably commanding and dispatching emergency resources, solving coordinative issues with relevant departments in emergency accidents, establishing an accident case library to provide on-site decision-making assistance, real-time on-site videoing, emergency drilling, handheld terminals and etc. Emergency management information measures can effectively reduce the probability and the impact of flood incidents.
