长三角加强与世博、AI及修订计划的应急协调 2026-04-09
Shanghai and its Yangtze River Delta neighbors are deepening emergency-management coordination, with officials on Thursday outlining new work on regional command systems, AI-assisted rescue tools, flood preparedness and revised contingency plans ahead of the fifth Yangtze River Delta International Emergency Disaster Reduction and Rescue Expo.
At a Shanghai government press conference on April 9, officials from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui reviewed recent progress in cross-regional emergency cooperation and previewed this year's expo, which they said will focus on grassroots response capacity and public safety awareness.
Shanghai officials said the city has revised its overall emergency response plan and is expanding the reach of warning systems. They said a weather-disaster warning plan cut the time needed to send citywide text alerts from eight to 10 hours to less than two hours, and that internet platforms including Alipay, Baidu and Meituan were used to distribute emergency information during last year's Typhoon Co-may.
The city also said it is pushing ahead with a new round of emergency-plan revisions and will continue improving joint command and coordination mechanisms across the Yangtze River Delta, including shared planning, resource integration and cross-regional drills.
Jiangsu highlighted an AI-assisted rescue decision-making system launched in February. Officials said the system can carry out risk assessment, match emergency resources and generate response suggestions by combining accident information with environmental data. They said the next step is to improve data training, strengthen grassroots deployment and extend the system toward full-chain, full-scenario emergency management.
Zhejiang, which faces regular flood and typhoon risks, said it has begun building more than 14,000 grassroots flood-control emergency units as an extension of its regional command system. Officials said the aim is to improve last-mile warning transmission, evacuation and initial response, especially in mountainous areas, construction sites and elder-care facilities.
Anhui said it has built a three-tier emergency command structure linking provincial, municipal and county-level command centers, with video systems connected to 1,373 townships and streets. Officials also cited 411 professional rescue teams, five regional rescue bases, two aviation rescue bases and one water rescue center as part of broader efforts to improve command, warning and rescue capacity.
The four provinces and cities are also using the annual expo as an industrial and coordination platform. Shanghai officials said the event has attracted more than 2,000 companies from nearly 20 countries and regions over the past four editions, with intended orders topping 2.2 billion yuan. This year's expo will add special zones for aviation rescue, water rescue, hazardous chemicals safety and grassroots emergency innovation, while hosting about 70 supply-matching sessions, forums and related events.
Officials said they hope the exhibition and its overseas extension events, including another Indonesia show planned for August, will help turn regional emergency-management cooperation into a stronger international-facing platform for equipment makers, service providers and public-safety institutions.
