Abstract: As a disaster-bearing body, the coal mine is vulnerable to the impact threat of rainstorm disasters, which easily induce flooding accidents. In view of this, this study is designed to propose the vulnerability assessment method of rainstorm-induced coal mine flooding disasters. On account of the scientific theory of disaster risk, the evaluation model and index system of coal mine flooding disaster induced by rainstorm covering exposure, fortification level, and resilience are constructed, while the vulnerability assessment method based on Tri-AHP method is proposed. Study results demonstrate that population exerts the greatest impact on exposure, wellhead elevation matters the most for fortification level, and the emergency plan has a dominant influence on resilience. Therefore, for coal mines, it is suggested to strengthen the special rainstorm emergency plan drill, improve the fortification level, and solidify the emergency duty during the rainy season. In this study, the rainstorm disaster vulnerability assessment method of coal mine is innovatively put forward, which is conducive to sustainable energy and environmental development.
