China is a vast territory with large population, and be in the process of rapid social transformation. Such special actual conditions mean that nowadays China is in the high-incidence season of various public emergencies. So how to respond to emergency becomes a very important problem for the public administration.Information disclosure is a very important element for the public emergency response issues. After emergencies happen, normal society order will be damaged and public psychology endure ability will lower. If the government does not disclose relevant information in time, the public will fall into panic and turbulence, which will increase the difficulty of dealing with public emergency. Therefore the government should open relevant information timely and sufficiently to media and public in order to ensure the citizens'right to know. Only in this way can people cooperate with government to respond to the crisis together.The construction of laws and institutions are crucial in the government information disclosure. Some developed countries such as the United States, Russia, South Korea, Japan have formulated special laws and institutions on government information disclosure, and designed emergency information disclosure system with strong operational. However, since the work on government information disclosure began late in our country, related laws and regulations are far from perfect, and the design of information disclosure system also exists many defects. Besides, the government working staff and general people both lack the concept of right to know and scientific knowledge on information disclosure. Which seriously hinder the process of government information disclosure in the public emergency response.Therefore, it is an urgent task for us to reduce difficulties and damages of the public emergency by improving the situation of government information disclosure while protecting the citizens'right to know. To accomplish this task, we should first to establish a correct concept in the public, especially in those people who work in government; secondly, we should further perfect related laws and regulations in terms of information disclosure; then we also should strengthen the information interaction between government and the media, government and general social organizations, government and individual citizens, as well as various social subjects, so that they can share information and respond to the public emergency together. |
