AND MINIMIZATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF EMERGENCIES

Abstract

The most pressing problem in today's conditions, which is fraught with a significant number of emergencies with a significant amount of their consequences, is to increase the safety of the population during emergencies. Thanks to the work of executive authorities, local governments, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, scientific institutions, a number of laws and regulations have been developed and adopted to establish management of emergency prevention and response, and significant experience has been gained in implementing measures to prevent accidents and catastrophes. and natural disasters, as well as the elimination of their consequences. The article, based on the analysis of previous studies, outlines the shortcomings of response measures and minimization of the consequences of emergencies, consisting in the presence of omissions in the management system to respond to them, in making unpopular and unsubstantiated decisions in emergency rescue and other urgent works, insufficient the level of quantitative and qualitative indicators of special mathematical and software for modeling these measures. The main prerequisites for these omissions are the lack of experience and knowledge required by the heads of government. The critical contradiction in the functioning of the emergency prevention and minimization management system is the contradiction between the need for a sufficient level of logistical and financial support of the emergency prevention and minimization management system and the low level of available material reserve to be created by management bodies of the unified state system of civil protection at all levels. The article analyzes the regulatory and legal support for the creation of material reserves in order to determine the degree of responsibility of authorities at different levels for their creation. Proposals were made to overcome this critical contradiction, namely to determine the most optimal state reserve protocol for Ukraine, followed by the implementation of the necessary reforms; improvement of the system regulatory framework; development of methods for determining the nomenclature of material possessions  with the calculation of the norms of their accumulation; reconstruction of enterprises belonging to the state reserve system. Also the main thing is the creation of a logistics system with a material reserve, the author's definition of this definition is given. Conclusions are made and it is determined that the directions of further research are the development of proposals for the creation of a single protocol of the state reserve in order to overcome the critical contradiction of the functioning of the management system for prevention and minimization of the consequences of emergencies.
