In 2008，the construction of the legal system for preventing and mitigating quake disaster had intensified.This was mainly reflected in the following three aspects：Firstly，in the making of laws on preventing and mitigating quake disaster，more attention had been paid to the effectiveness and democratic basis of the legislation.Secondly，Regulations on the Recovery and Reconstruction of Disaster Areas after the Wenchuan Earthquake was promulgated，which establishes a series of legal principles and institutions relating to recovery and reconstruction of disaster areas，especially the system of transitional settlement，thereby remedying the shortcomings in the legal system of preventing and mitigating earthquake disaster.Thirdly，two judicial notes and one judicial interpretation were issued by the Supreme People’s Court to stipulate judicial principles and methods relating to the application of laws in disaster zones after quake，which had played a very positive role in protecting rights and interests of victims in disaster districts.
