Legal Considerations during Disasters in India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Law and ethics have an important role to play during disasters. As affirmed in the Hyogo Framework for Action, law is a critical tool for empowering action and adapting to a changing world. In addition to coordinating functions, legal frameworks at the international, national and state level, laws provide a framework for the manner in which actions should be taken. Law also plays an important role in protecting the vulnerable and disadvantaged population by respecting human dignity and rights. Developing legal frameworks to reduce the risks of disasters is more complicated than improving response mechanisms, as it includes the whole of the society and government. Legal measures are needed to expedite recovery efforts, secure land for temporary shelters or rebuild destroyed homes.
