The poor performance of the Nigerian National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) since its inception in 1972 led to the establishment of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) in 2005 and consequently to the unbundling of the PHCN by the civilian government of President Good luck Jonathan in 2010. However, despite efforts by past and present Nigerian governments to reform the energy sector in order to improve electricity generation and distribution the anticipated results appear elusive.

Emergencies occur in colleges from time to time in recent years, which disturbs teaching and campus life seriously and causes pressure to students and teachers’ mind and hurt of their life. With emergencies happening frequently, it is the need of social development and also the need of maintaining the development and stability of higher education to constantly improve emergency management capability and to prevent and deal with the emergencies scientifically and efficiently. Emergency management capability decides the response level of a university when they emergencies happen. The improvement of the capacity is a process step by step with many stages for different stage requires different capability. This paper constructs the maturity model and evaluation index system of emergency management capability according to CMM and examines it with real data of a university in Henan Province. Result shows that the level of emergency management capability of the university is initial. Correspond with the university’s situation, the result is accurate and reliable and is able to provide reference for finding questions in the process of emergency management, reducing the risk of emergency and improving emergency management capability.

Nepal is located at central part of the Himalaya, the mechanism and causes of earthquake are identical to that of other neighboring countries. Manifestation of few damaging earthquakes during the last decade in Nepal and adjacent areas has pointed to shortcoming in risk reduction programs. The purpose of this paper is to highlight major incidences of 2015 Nepal earthquake and lesson learned from this natural disaster. The current disaster of Nepal focuses the importance of cooperation and coordination among countries in the Himalayan region to improve understanding of seismic risks in this region and prepare for earthquakes and their successive impacts in the future. Several initiatives are now being taken at research and management levels in Nepal. In this paper, both technical and risk management practices and their shortcomings are discussed.

This study compared the Sewol Ferry sinking accident that happened last year with that of Seohae Ferry in 1993 in order to suggest directions for innovating of crisis management systems in Korea. To accomplish For this purpose, the introduction of the core system was introduced. The core system is a network hub for guiding and coordinating systems in a certain direction consistently. As its components, the core system has value, institution, leadership, devotion, and expertise. By explaining the transition process of transition of a system, which has been overlooked by discussions on the improvement of crisis management systems, using the core system, this study aimed to find its functions and roles. In this discussion, problems in the operation of crisis management systems for the Seohae Ferry and Sewol Ferry accidents were analyzed from the viewpoints of the components of the core system, and the establishment of a core system was suggested as a method of reforming the national crisis management systems.

Emergency assessment is an important field of the current emergency management research. Foreign related research started earlier and progress rapidly, has a wealth of practical experience, the domestic research is in the stage of exploration. This paper will be introduced to the Meta - analysis method for evaluation of emergency management research, from the perspective of the overall comprehensive analysis of emergency management evaluation and the research itself, the emergency management at home and abroad in the evaluation of excavated in a large number of research literature in the field of general trends and characteristics, by summing up experience and the existing research results, the theoretical research and practice of emergency management evaluation by weak links that exist in the analysis, in order to find the deficiencies in the study of emergency management assessment, for the future development strategy and establish and improve the basis for policy.
