Abstract

Abstract: Collaborative governance is an important issue facing the emergency management systems. Although the emergency management system in the United States has a complete organizational structure， sufficient regulations， clear division of tasks， and smooth cooperation channels in terms of collaborative governance， in practice， its collaborative governance has fallen into the dilemma of “failing to help each other in the same boat”. Under the analytical framework of contingency model of collaborative governance， the differences in capabilities， cooperative mentality， cooperative history and cooperative institutional environment of emergency management subjects in the United States create the dilemma of whether to implement collaborative governance. There are decision-making barriers， lack of governance authority and “free-rider” problems in the emergency management system of the United States， which are the realistic dilemma of collaborative governance brought about by the design of the emergency management system in the United States. The loosely coupled collaboration system， the “whole crisis” and “full cycle” collaboration concept， and the flexible “whole-society” collaboration method are the way out for the United States' emergency management system to “help each other in the same boat”.

Key words: emergency management system; sudden crisis; the United States; collaborative governance
