Features of Management of the Emergency Situation of Terrorist Nature on the Protected Critical Infrastructure of Ukraine

Abstract

AbstractIt is shown that an emergency situation (emergency) at a man-made facility begins from the moment of the legislative permission to choose the place of its construction. Irrespective of the type of the constructed object, at the stage of design works fire alarm and fire extinguishing systems, evacuation routes and access platforms and other are provided. Accordingly, an emergency of a terrorist nature in a certain territory begins from the moment of appearance of this territory. In addition, emergencies are objective spatio-temporal processes, each of which is conditionally divided into five stages, namely: the daily accumulation of negative factors; extreme development of the negative factor; catastrophic event; elimination of the consequences of this event and their long-term consequences. They occur on vehicles, man-made and natural objects, sections of the territory, water basins and mountains, cities and administrative regions. The type of each emergency is tied to a specific catastrophic event that may occur, is occurring or has already occurred. It is also shown that the main purpose of emergency management is to prevent a catastrophic event, and in case of its occurrence, to minimize its consequences. Tasks of the management process are formulated in stages of the emergency, and generalized structural and logical model of emergency management consists of six blocks, namely: situation monitoring (accumulation of an everyday factor), risk detection (detection of extreme factors), risk analysis (forecasting and modeling of emergency), preparation of management decisions, decision-making and communicating it to the performers, the impact on the situation, which through the structure of performers affects the object of management and closes the control loop, ensuring a continuous management process to prevent catastrophic events.KeywordsEmergencyCatastropheTerrorist attackCritical infrastructureProtected object
