Using Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation to Assess the Competency of Full-Time Water Conservancy Emergency Rescue Teams

Drought and flood disasters are common events threatening the safety of human lives, and full-time water conservancy emergency rescue teams play an important role in fighting against these disasters. In this paper, a competency assessment indicator system full-time water conservancy emergency rescue teams was first constructed by the Delphi Method. Four first-level, seventeen second-level and sixty third-level competency assessment indicators are proposed. Secondly, the weights of assessment indicators for a full-time water conservancy emergency rescue team at all levels were obtained by an analytic hierarchy process. Thirdly, based on that established assessment indicator system, the competency of the water conservancy emergency rescue team in Province A was assessed using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. Finally, the assessment results for the full-time water conservancy emergency rescue team in Province A were obtained. This study concludes by noting some practical implications of the results.
