With　the　recent　Covid-19　outbreak,　group　emergency　decision-making　(GEDM),　as　a　new　management　model　to　pursue　both　social　stability　and　decrease　the　negative　impact　of　emergencies,　has　become　highly　popular.　Evaluating　and　choosing　the　best　emergency　response　is　the　core　of　the　GEDM　and　selecting　the　choices　can　be　regarded　as　a　multi-attribute　group　decision-making　(MAGDM)　problem.　Due　to　the　increasing　complexity　and　fuzziness　of　emergency　decision-making　environment,　decision-makers　(DMs)　often　cannot　express　completely　rational　preference　information　in　many　real　EDM　situations.　At　the　same　time,　the　existing　methods　seldom　consider　the　DM＇s　psychological　mindset　at　the　point　of　decision　making.　In　this　paper,　an　extended　TODIM　(an　acronym　for　interactive　and　multi-criteria　decision-making　in　Portugese)　method　based　on　bidirectional　projection　is　proposed　to　solve　the　GEDM　problem　in　the　context　of　hesitant　triangular　fuzzy　sets　(HTFSs)　and　the　novel　method　is　applied　to　a　case　study　and　compared　with　other　existing　methods.　The　validity　and　applicability　of　the　proposed　method　are　discussed.　©　2020　Elsevier　Ltd
