Supply chain disruption risk usually poses a serious challenge to the management of emergency supplies procurement between the government and enterprises in cooperation. To research the impact of supply chain disruption on the supply and demand sides of emergency supplies for disaster relief, the emergency procurement model based on quantity flexibility contract is constructed. The model introduces a stockout disruption to measure the degree of supply chain disruption and uses per unit of material relief value to quantify government disaster relief benefits. Further, it analyzes the basic pricing strategy and the agreed order quantity between the government and enterprises, focusing on the negative impact of supply disruption on the government and enterprises. The model deduction and data analysis results show that supply disruption creates a “lose-lose” situation for governments and enterprises, reducing their benefits and willingness to cooperate. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is conducted on the case data to explain the decision-making changes in the contract price and flexibility parameters between the government and enterprises before and after the supply disruption.

The supply of emergency materials is the fundament of emergency rescues. In view of the demand for emergency materials in major calamities, in this paper, a system dynamics model of emergency materials is constructed from the perspectives of wartime and peacetime. By setting and controlling the relevant parameters and variables, the influence of a variable on the demand and supply of emergency materials and the influence of government strategies on the quantity and provision of emergency material supply are analyzed. We explore the measures that can better ensure the supply to stabilize the social and economic security of the country. The results show that the emergency degree of an event will lead to increases in the amount of government expenditures and in the duration of such expenditures. Meanwhile, the increase in emergency cases will increase the variation range of the supply and demand deviation curve, lengthen the response time to demand, and fasten the growth trend of material supply. The Chinese government adopts comprehensive regulation and control mode, which make the supply and demand reach the equilibrium state more than twice as fast as other control methods. In addition, the promotion of publicity will improve the number of civil materials. A high inflation rate will lead to high imports of government materials, which will consequently affect the supply of emergency materials. The above research findings have important reference significance for the government’s emergency materials management.

Given the fragmentation of public opinion dissemination and the lag of network users’ cognition, the paper analyzes public opinion dissemination with incomplete information, which can provide reference for us to control and guide the spread of public opinion. Based on the derivative and secondary radiation of public opinion dissemination with incomplete information, the Susceptible-Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Recovered-Infected (SSIR R-I) model is proposed. Given the interaction between users, the Deffuant opinion dynamics model and evolutionary game theory are introduced to simulate the public opinion game between dissemination and immune nodes. Finally, the numerical simulation and results analysis are given. The results reveal that the rate of opinion convergence significantly affects disseminating public opinion, which is positively correlated with the promotion effect of the dissemination node and negatively correlated with the suppression effect of the immune node of public opinion dissemination. Derivative and secondary radiations have different effects on public opinion dissemination in the early stage, but promote public opinion dissemination in the later stage. The dominant immune nodes have an apparent inhibitory effect on the spread of public opinion; nevertheless, they cannot block the dissemination of public opinion.
