The fifth is to add provisions to strengthen psychological health rescue in accordance with the law. Finally, Professor Mo Yuchuan gave a lecture on the experience and lessons learned from the development of emergency rule of law, as well as the establishment of a standardized system, capability system, and knowledge system for emergency rule of law.

During the communication session, Zhang Weijia, a master's student from the School of Law at Southeast University, raised questions about the amendment of Article 12 of the Emergency Response Law and whether it is necessary to establish an emergency collection system.
