Draft rule on emergency management reviewed

The draft of the emergency response and management law was presented for a second review at the seventh session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, aimed at improving national early warning systems.

The proposed law also aims to protect the rights of various groups in emergency response management, enhance emergency response capabilities and improve systems related to the release of emergency information, according to a report on Monday regarding the modifications drafted by the Constitution and Law Committee of the NPC.

Compared with the version reviewed in 2021, the key modifications of the new draft include clarifying the law's role as a fundamental and comprehensive legal framework for emergency response.
