By 2030 the plan aims for clear modernization gains: establish a prevention-first governance model; complete a centralized, unified, efficient and authoritative emergency management system; strengthen emergency command mechanisms under a big-safety, big-emergency framework; materially boost major-incident response capacity and grassroots emergency capability; and raise the rule-of-law, scientific and intelligent levels of emergency management to keep safety production and disaster-mitigation outcomes stable.
