Abstract: Disaster governance is a comprehensive activity for the government,non-governmental organizations and citizens to effectively deal with various disastrous events with the help of science,technology,and comprehensive planning,in order to ensure social harmony and maintain national security.The basic trend of disaster governance reform in the new era is the transformation from single disaster governance to one under the overall national security concept,from a fragmented emergency disaster relief system to a gradually improved disaster governance system.The reform of disastergovernance in the new era is faced with four problems:the lack of popularization and content of disaster governance,the deficiency of the governance subject in coordination and mobilization,the defects in the design and operation of disaster governance system,and the difficulties in the popularization and application of disaster governance technology.Flexible governance is the path choice for the reform in the new era.For this end,it needs to be optimized from four aspects:the promotion and cultivation of disaster governance,the coordination and linkage of disaster governance subjects,the control and guidance of disaster governance system,and the rational application of disaster governance technology.

Key words: disaster governance, reform, framework analysis, optimization path
