Against the backdrop of global climate change, flood disasters exhibit the characteristics of frequent occurrence, wide coverage and high destructiveness, evolving into a complex "chain-breaking" crisis. The traditional single-carrier rescue mode is confronted with efficiency bottlenecks and structural defects, which make it difficult to meet the practical rescue demands. Based on the differentiated scenarios of floods, this paper constructs three three-dimensional collaborative schemes, namely Truck-Drone collaboration in urban waterlogging, Truck-Boat intermodal transport in basin floods, and Air-Ground integration in communication-interrupted areas. It also formulates three supporting strategies including dynamic grading based on urgency, rolling robustness in response to uncertainty, and collaborative linkage of official and social forces, thus establishing a multi-carrier collaborative rescue system featuring integration of space-air-ground, interconnection of water-land-air carriers, and collaboration of military-government-society. Simulation data show that this system has achieved a more than 30% improvement in material delivery efficiency, effectively solving the problems of rescue path blockage and resource misallocation. The research further puts forward policy recommendations such as equipment standardization and the construction of digital infrastructure, providing key support for the modernization optimization of the emergency management system.
