This study examines disaster management through the interrelated perspectives of ethics, human rights, and legal responsibility. Because disasters can directly threaten fundamental human rights such as the right to life, the right to health, the right to housing, and the rights to food and access to clean water, disaster management policies should be evaluated not only in terms of response capacity but also in terms of their compatibility with ethical principles and human rights norms. The study discusses ethical dilemmas arising in disaster management within the frameworks of teleological, deontological, and theological ethical approaches, and analyzes the meaning of fundamental human rights—particularly the rights to life, health, and housing—in the context of disasters. In addition, the main legal regulations governing disaster management in Turkey are critically assessed from ethical and human rights perspectives (Laws No. 5902, 7269, and 6306). The study argues that disaster management constitutes a multidimensional field situated at the intersection of technical, ethical, and legal considerations, and emphasizes that human rights and ethical principles must be placed at the center of policy-making processes in order to achieve a more just and sustainable approach to disaster governance.
