澳門災害法構建的必要性與方法論分析──以內地有關法律實踐為參考對象

Considering the very limited area of Macau, relevant institutionalized laws are especially needed to effectively tackle and deal with disasters. Recently the typhoon Hato caused severe casualties and property losses which was rarely seen, and it is to certain extent the result of the absence of detailed legal measures. Based on the need to protect Macau residents’ rights and government administration according to law, Macau is in urgent need of the construction of a legal system on disasters. The disasters’ complexity and urgency determine that the construction of such legal systems should follow certain methodologies, which include the compliance with scientificity, flexibility and systematization. In this respect, the relevant legal practices in Mainland China may provide some lessons and experiences.
