Starting from the new paradigm of intelligence engineering and the new environment of emergency intelligence information, this paper puts forward the importance of constructing the emergency management intelligence engineering with local characteristics and modern features. This paper analyzes the basic orientation of emergency management intelligence engineering, which includes four features: rapidness, collaborative symbiosis, value transformation, elastic adaptability. Then analyzes the core content of emergency management intelligence engineering, which includes three modules: intelligence resource support, intelligence technology innovation and expert wisdom development. Finally, the paper discusses some challenges in the development of emergency management intelligence engineering, which includes three problems: role orientation, overall mobilization and significance construction. The relevant research and thinking in this paper can provide a new direction for the development of emergency intelligence in new era.
