English

Subject field(s)
  • Emergency Management
DEF

[The] actions taken in response to a disaster warning or alert.

CONT

Here, emergency response is the action taken to avoid or reduce personal injury and damage to property and the environment when an event, such as coastal flooding, which may cause an accident or disaster, is imminent or has happened. These circumstances include... immediate precautionary measures, such as the construction of temporary dykes, but exclude mitigation efforts such as the construction of permanent dykes in the salient period between incidents.

CONT

Advances in information and communication technologies enable the public to contribute to emergency response. For instance, reporting systems set up during recent disasters allowed affected people to submit testimonies about conditions on the ground. In addition, the public has analysed data and helped to mobilise and deliver relief resources.

French

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

Lord Justice Bankes fashioned another formula that would permit the mother to win compensation, if she "either saw or realized by her own unaided senses, and not from something which someone told her, and... the shock was due to a reasonable fear of immediate personal injury either to herself or to her children.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Selon une autre formule, inventée par lord Bankes la mère pouvait être indemnisée si elle "avait vu ce qui se passait ou s'en était autrement rendu compte par ses propres sens en non par ce qu'on lui aurait dit, et si [...] le choc était attribuable à la crainte raisonnable d'un préjudice physique imminent pour elle-même ou pour son enfant.
