Emergency Regulation Act

The Emergency Regulation Act is a law that grants government authorities special powers to manage and respond to urgent situations such as natural disasters, public health crises, or threats to national security. It allows for the enactment of temporary rules and measures to maintain public order, ensure safety, and facilitate swift decision-making. These regulations can include restrictions on movement, curfews, or control over resources. Typically, the act is invoked during emergencies when normal laws may be insufficient to address the situation effectively, ensuring a coordinated and timely response to protect citizens and maintain stability.
