Abstract: With the deterioration of natural environment and the gradual emergence of contradictions in the domain of politics, economy and ideology, various crises occur frequently in recent years. Since public crisis management is complex, in order to resolve crisis, we have to bring the community and citizens into play, not just rely on governments. With the "governance theory" as the theoretical basis, the paper makes an analysis of the status quo and problems of the cooperation relationship between government and NGOs in public crisis, then gives some suggestions to achieve governance of public crisis, including promoting government innovation, strengthening NGOs' capacity, establishing the interaction and cooperation mechanisms between government and NGOs and so on.
