## 6 Conclusions  
The information level in rural areas of China is generally inadequate, particularly concerning the management of natural disasters, which becomes notably prominent. Due to the limited availability of information, rural areas often encounter a range of practical challenges during natural disasters, including outdated emergency management methods, deficient command systems, and low rescue efficiency. To address these issues, this paper explores an emergency management model for rural natural disasters and investigates how emerging technologies such as the IoT, big data analytics, cloud computing, AI, and blockchain can be integrated with emergency management to establish a suitable mode for addressing rural natural disasters. Within this framework, rescue personnel can be rapidly and effectively deployed; timely identification and delivery of emergency supplies to affected regions can be ensured; and transportation vehicles will securely transport essential resources. Consequently, the digital integration of disaster elements is achieved while enhancing the efficiency of emergency management practices. This approach promotes sustainable development within rural economies by extending the theoretical foundation of emergency management and improving the scientific nature underlying decision-making processes. In general, the academic community has conducted extensive research on in telligent emergency management in the context of digital technology; however, it still encounters numerous challenges. When constructing an intelligent emergency mode, it is crucial to fully consider the unique characteristics of rural areas, such as their complex geographical environment, inadequate infrastructure, and difficulties in information dissemination. Additionally, there is a need to enhance information technology training for rural residents and improve their information literacy so that they can effectively enhance mutual assistance and self-help capabilities during natural disasters. The limitation of this paper lies primarily in its theoretical nature. Future research should focus on integrating various natural disaster characteristics while deeply incorporating new-generation information technology with emergency management theory and practice to further enrich and transform theoretical research outcomes. In summary, constructing a rural natural disaster emergency management mode is a comprehensive project that requires leveraging emerging technologies' advantages while continuously exploring and innovating based on the actual situation in rural areas to provide robust support for promoting digitalization and modernization towards preventing and mitigating natural disasters.
