  Emergency shelters, which reflect the city's ability to respond to and deal
with major public emergencies to a certain extent, are essential to a modern
urban emergency management system. This paper is based on spatial analysis
methods, using Analytic Hierarchy Process to analyze the suitability of the 28
emergency shelters in Wuhan City. The Technique for Order Preference by
Similarity to an Ideal Solution is further used to evaluate the accommodation
capacity of emergency shelters in central urban areas, which provides a
reference for the optimization of existing shelters and the site selection of
new shelters, and provides a basis for improving the service capacity of
shelters. The results show that the overall situation of emergency shelters in
Wuhan is good, with 96\% of the places reaching the medium level or above, but
the suitability level needs to be further improved, especially the
effectiveness and accessibility. Among the seven central urban areas in Wuhan,
Hongshan District has the strongest accommodation capacity while Jianghan
District has the weakest, with noticeable differences.
