Recently the research on the crisis management and emergency decision making, especially the decision support method, shows its importance. Initiated by researching on the characteristics of EDM for crisis, this paper proposes a novel iterative decision process model based on Case-based Reasoning (CBR) and Rule-based Reasoning (RBR) for EDM. Using CBR in EDM process can make full use of the previous experiences. Using RBR can support CBR to revise and reuse the similar historical cases. At the same time, an iterative model will satisfy the requirement of the dynamically evolutionary process of crisis. Hence, the proposed model can help identifying EDM's objectives, reducing the difficulty and blindness of EDM, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of EDM process.
