Abstract
This chapter analyzes the mechanism of emergency management employed by governments, and typhoon No. 0604 “Bilis” in 2006 has been selected as a typical case for comparative analysis of emergency response plans and precautions among different provinces in China. The analysis shows that Zhejiang Province in China has established a complete system, which can be used as a significant model for the improvement of our emergency management preparation and implementation. Finally, some suggestions are made to improve the system of emergency management against typhoon disasters in Guangdong, China.
