Abstract
The paper examines the dynamics of natural emergencies in Ukraine and the vulnerability of the population and territories to them over the past 20 years. The analysis of the number and distribution of natural emergencies, depending on the region of Ukraine. Indicated on certain patterns of their number and type, depending on the area. The methods of the analysis for the prediction of natural disasters origin and manifestation and risk assessment methodologies that are actively used in the world and Ukraine, is carried out. The risk index of the natural disasters on the territory of Ukraine, according to the scale of the World Risk Index, is considered. The present situation in the country with man-made and natural safety is analyzed. The trend to a temperature average increases and rainfalls decreases throughout the country is noted. There was made a comparison of the last two decades in terms of changes in the average values of the number of meteorological emergencies and fires in natural ecosystems. As a result, it can be noted that in most cases, the resources spent on the disaster relief usually exceed the expenditures allocated for safety. A map with the reflected main types of the natural hazards is proposed, which makes it possible to identify trends that form the greatest threats in a particular territory and to improve the preventing system for the occurrence and elimination of the natural hazards consequences, determining the directions for the risk management mechanism improving at the national and regional levels, forming new management approaches and specific means of their implementation. There are summarized the results of state and regional management and the need to take measures for threats prevention, as well as the need for constant monitoring of all risks and processes occurring in the regions. Which in turn will increase the efficiency of management at the regional level, as well as reduce risks and minimize losses from overcoming the consequences of emergencies for public administration and local government. Accordingly, it will contribute to the development of the risk management system in Ukraine and bring it closer to international standards.
