Abstract: Oil depots in the coastal areas of China are prone to disasters caused by heavy rain due to the monsoon climate. Studies focusing on heavy rainfall vulnerability in coastal oil depots are limited. Therefore, we evaluated the safety of oil depots based on four factors in this study: personnel, equipment and facility, environment, and resilience. Complex networks, analytic hierarchy processes, and information entropy theory were used to establish an evaluation index system including four first-level indicators, nine second-level indicators, and 40 third-level indicators. Scores of 40 evaluation indicators were taken as the input, a vulnerability level of oil depots affected by heavy rain was gained as the output, and results were presented visually (different warning levels distinguished by color) to help oil depot enterprises improve their safety performance under extreme weather conditions.
