Abstract
At present, in light of new situations and the new task of natural hazard response, effective public participation in emergency relief has become an urgent task that can reduce economic losses and casualties. The purpose of this paper is to construct a natural hazard emergency relief alliance and analyze the mechanisms and dynamics of public participation. In this study, methods based on a multi-agent system were adopted, and we used different participants as heterogeneous agents with different attitudes and resources. Using four different processes, namely participation proposals, negotiation interval, negotiation decision-making function, and participation strategy, we comprehensively construct an emergency relief alliance for natural hazards. In addition, the dynamic public interaction process is analyzed and a construction algorithm is given. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance in alliance formation efficiency, negotiation efficiency, and agent utility. The research results illustrate that the public’s attitudes and resources influence the construction of emergency relief alliances; a greater degree of public participation contributes to a more efficient alliance formation. The findings of this study contribute to the promotion of public cooperation and improvement in the efficiency of natural hazard emergency relief.

Summary
As a result of its vast territory, complex environmental conditions, large population, low disaster prevention, and management capabilities, China has suffered serious losses and used a great deal of human and material resources for natural hazard prevention and relief. The government plays an important role in emergency management, but it is difficult to achieve high efficiency by only relying on the strength of the government [1]; determining how the public can effectively participate in natural hazard emergency relief has become an urgent task. Determining how to organize the public to participate in emergency relief in an orderly and effective way has become a popular topic. In 2016, the new “National Natural Hazard Emergency Relief Plan” was released in China, but the subject of public participation in emergency relief has concerned scholars
