Initially, decision-makers employ interval language variables to express the preference information regarding emergency plans, while also introducing an enhanced information entropy theory to derive the weight coefficients of key indicators. Subsequently, the weighted arithmetic average operator of interval language is applied twice to aggregate the preference information alongside the relative importance of decision-makers and the weight coefficients of key indicators. Finally, the ranking coefficients of each emergency plan are sorted to determine the optimal scheme. The feasibility and effectiveness of this method are demonstrated through a case study involving the selection of an emergency plan for a flood disaster in a specific location.
