Based on the analysis of development of environmental emergency system in China, the present study discussed the system framework and software functions of the space-earth based integrated environmental emergency monitoring and management system. Emphasis was especially put on the function improvements caused by introducing UAV-based environmental emergency monitoring system. In addition, the relevant key technology choices with regard to sensor, space-earth data analysis and real-time data transmission technique were analyzed from the perspective of present situation, difficulties and development trend. It is expected to provide some beneficial reference for the establishment of modern environmental emergency system.
