Abstract: The emergency capability of university students is an important guarantee for realizing self-rescue and mutual rescue. However, there is few research on the emergency ability of university students at present, and the specificity of university students has not been considered in the formulation of laws, regulations and emergency response plans. This paper summarizes the research methods, influencing factors, evaluation methods and improvement strategies of university students' emergency capability, and summarizes the insufficiency of university students' emergency capability research. At the same time, this paper points out that in the future, it is necessary to further enrich the research methods, explore the relationship between influencing factors, improve the evaluation methods, and apply the research results to emergency education and norm formulation, so as to truly improve the emergency capability of university students.

Key words: university students, emergency capability, disaster prevention and mitigation
