Since its application in the field of transportation, interdependent network theory has contributed a lot to the promotion and optimisation of aviation system, urban transport system, multimodal transport system, and so on. However, little work has been done to the safety and resource allocation about river oil spill emergency while this approach has been proven to be remarkably effective on multi-level management. In light of this, the article intends to analyse the vulnerability of oil spill rescue system within the fluctuating backwater zone and natural navigation area in the upper Yangtze River, thus laying the foundation for the construction of an automatic assessment system, so as to provide suggestions for the distribution and planning of local oil spill emergency rescue forces. Based on the system structure entropy, a multilayer interdependent river oil spill disposal network is constructed to illustrate and analyse the characteristics of the study area. The result shows that an interdependent network is more sensitive and effective to identify the weakness of the rescue system than the ordinary complex network, which tends to be more realistic and reliable.
