Quantitative evaluation of China's disaster relief policies: A PMC index model approach

Abstract

Disaster relief policies play a critical role in improving the effectiveness of disaster relief and reducing disaster damage. This paper uses text mining methods and the policy modeling consistency (PMC) index model to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster relief policies. The analysis presented in this paper constructed an evaluation index system for disaster relief policies and quantitatively evaluated ten representative disaster relief policies in China. The results show that among the ten disaster relief policies, one was rated perfect, five were rated excellent, and four were rated acceptable. Meanwhile, disaster relief policies with a high level of authority score relatively high, and specific policies score relatively low. This Study provides the theoretical reference base for optimizing China's disaster relief policies.
