Abstract: Abstract Natural and manmade disasters may cause a great deal of loss of life and threat to the human society. As a result, an effective emergency management organization becomes more and more significant for the purpose of minimizing loss. In this paper, a capability assessment model, namely, disaster management and control model, is proposed to provide a general guideline for different types of emergency management organization. Eight indicators are proposed for assessing the capability of the organization. The assessment process includes collecting, analyzing, reporting and planning. The result of capability assessment is divided into four levels and recommendations are presented for reporting the details of the indicators.
