Features: This book comprehensively analyzes the basic structures and operational conditions of the all-government and all-society comprehensive crisis management systems in major cities of developed Western countries. It separately describes and analyzes the crisis management organizational mechanisms and operational situations in major cities such as New York City, Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles in the United States, Toronto in Canada, Tokyo and Yokohama in Japan, Berlin in Germany, and London in the United Kingdom. On this basis, it studies, through case analysis, the operational conditions and lessons learned of crisis emergency mechanisms in major cities of various countries in response to typical crisis events such as the 9/11 terrorist attack, the North American blackout, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Tokyo subway sarin gas incident, and the London subway bombing. This is the first systematic study in China of the crisis management mechanisms and operational conditions of major cities in Western countries, and it holds significant reference value for the development of urban emergency mechanisms in China, which is currently in its initial stages.
