Abstract: To improve standardization and automation levels of emergency management in coal mines and solve linking problem between emergency plan and emergency decision, a new emergency management method for coal mines based on task network planning technology was presented. Firstly, emergency preparation plan is standardized treated based on reconfigurability of the emergency preparation preparation plan, each emergency measure is taken as a task to form emergency preparation plan by the task network plan technology; then the emergency plan is used as template for emergency execution plan and thus the complete and standardized emergency execution plan can be quickly formed by correcting the emergency preparation plan according to types, specific circumstances, resource conditions of emergency disposal and moderate personal preference of emergencies. The practical application shows that the method can significantly improve structuralization and digitalization level of emergency preparation plan and emergency execution plan, and can realize the seamless connection between the emergency preparation plan and the emergency execution plan.
