This study analyzes the coordination of emergency logistics across nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin from 2012 to 2022. An evaluation index system based on the economic support-logistics transportation-information processing (ELI) framework is established. The coordination level is assessed using a static coupling coordination model with entropy-CRITIC combined weighting. Additionally, a dynamic coupling coordination model and ArcGIS global trend analysis reveal the comprehensive validity, global distribution, and evolution trends of coordination. The main research findings are as follows: (1) Temporally, the coordination level of emergency logistics for natural disasters in the Yellow River Basin shows a slowly rising trend in coordinated evolution. Both "logistics transportation-economic support" and "logistics transportation-information processing" exhibit gradual improvement, while "economic support-information processing" demonstrates a more pronounced positive trend. (2) Spatially, the coordination level displays a "U"-shaped trend, initially decreasing and then increasing from south to north, along with a clear spatial pattern of "the upper reaches < the middle reaches < the down reaches" from west to east.
