Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] The public health emergencies need to be analyzed scientifically and reasonably. Their details and in-depth information are very important for decision-making. [Method/Process] Based on the DIIS theory and methodology in think tanks, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional intelligence model for public health emergencies. The model is further used in the analysis of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia. [Results/Conclusions] The multi-dimensional intelligence model of public health events includes five aspects, namely subject, object, medium, process and field. In the model, multi-subject, multi-item, multi-attribute, multi-factor, multi-method, multi-matter, multi-layer, multi-stage, multi-aspect and multi-scale are correlative and interactive. In the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, the subjects of emergency management took corresponding actions according to their social responsibilities. Think tanks provide special scientific support for dealing with the public health emergency. The outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia has a negative effect on the development of society and economy, but it also created an opportunity for the modernization and intellectualization.
