Abstract

The strong interconnectivity of urban regionalization has led to the cross-boundary nature of sudden incidents, and the frequent occurrence of such crises continually stimulates emergency cooperation among regions. In the face of tensions within the emergency cooperation framework, this paper employs the case of emergency cooperation practices in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to construct a "Structure-Technology" analysis framework, offering a comprehensive examination of the internal logic driving effective intergovernmental emergency cooperation in the region. The study identifies several core mechanisms underpinning effective cooperation in the GBA: agreement-based safeguards, command coordination systems, information-sharing protocols, and an integrated early warning mechanism. Legitimacy in emergency cooperation is reinforced through regional planning and formal cooperative agreements, while intergovernmental collaboration is coordinated via joint meetings, the establishment of emergency command centers, and lead roles in multi-level prevention and control mechanisms. Technological tools empower these cooperative efforts, encompassing information systems and platforms that facilitate information sharing, as well as joint emergency drills, early warning information dissemination, and targeted warning prompts to strengthen proactive response efforts. The key to resolving tensions within regional emergency cooperation mechanisms lies in a coordinated approach encompassing both structural and technical dimensions.
