Abstract: The emergence and spread of risks during PHEIC have introduced new challenges for national and social governance. This study develops a "Content-Media-Driving Forces" framework and applies case analysis through theoretical review, categorizing risks stemming from PHEIC into two main types: tangible risks and public opinion risks. Tangible risks encompass structural and procedural dimensions, whereas public opinion risks arise from prevailing societal judgments and the moralization of critique. Throughout the risk evolution process, these two categories interact dynamically, creating a complex network that amplifies risk derivation and dissemination in a multi-directional manner. Effective social risk management necessitates stringent regulation of epidemic control measures, with a particular emphasis on mitigating procedural social risks, addressing public concerns promptly, and curbing the spread of public discourse that could in-tensify interactions between public opinion risks and broader social risks.
