Comments on the article Comments on the article

Protection of the population from emergency situations includes the following activities:

  • alerting the population about the danger, informing them about the procedure for actions in the current emergency conditions;
  • evacuation and dispersal;
  • engineering protection of the population and territories;
  • radiation and chemical protection;
  • medical protection;
  • ensuring fire safety;
  • training of the population in the field of civil defense and protection from emergencies.

Measures to prepare for protection are carried out in advance, taking into account possible dangers and threats. They are planned and implemented in a differentiated way, taking into account the peculiarities of the settlement of people, natural, climatic and other local conditions. The scope, content and timing of these activities are determined on the basis of forecasts of natural and man-made hazards in the respective territories, based on the principle of reasonable sufficiency, taking into account the economic opportunities for their preparation and implementation. As a rule, they are carried out by the forces and means of enterprises, institutions, organizations, local governments, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in whose territory an emergency situation is possible or has occurred.

An important measure to protect the population from natural and man-made emergencies is the timely notification and informing people about the occurrence or threat of any danger. Notification is understood as bringing in a short time to the authorities, officials and forces of the unified state system for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations, as well as to the population in the relevant territory (subject of the Russian Federation, city, town, district) of pre-established signals, orders and information executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments regarding emerging threats and the procedure for behavior in these conditions. Responsibility for the organization and practical implementation of the warning lies with the heads of the executive authorities of the appropriate level.

In the RSChS system, the procedure for alerting the population provides, first of all, in any emergency, the inclusion of electric sirens, the intermittent sound of which means the transmission of a single danger signal "Attention to everyone!" Upon hearing this signal, you must immediately turn on the loudspeaker (radio, TV) and listen to information about the nature and extent of the threat, as well as recommendations on behavior in these conditions.

To perform notification tasks at all levels of the RSChS (federal, regional, territorial, local and facility), special centralized notification systems are being created.

At the facility level, local warning systems are the main ones. Their task is to bring signals and alert information to the managers and staff of the facility; object forces and services; heads (duty services) of organizations located in the coverage area of ​​the local warning system; operational duty services of bodies exercising management of civil defense on the territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, city, urban or rural area; the population living in the zone of action of the local warning system.

The decision to use civil defense warning systems is made by the appropriate manager. Heads in their jurisdictional territories have the right to suspend the broadcast of programs over radio, television and wire broadcasting networks for the transmission of signals and information, regardless of departmental affiliation, organizational and legal forms and forms of ownership. Signals (orders) and warning information are transmitted by the operational duty services of the bodies exercising control over civil defense, out of turn, using all means of communication and warning at their disposal. The operational duty services of the bodies exercising control over civil defense, having received signals (orders) or notification information, confirm their receipt and immediately bring the received signal (order) to the subordinate authorities and the population, followed by a report to the appropriate leader.

The transmission of signals (orders) and notification information can be carried out in an automated and non-automated mode. In an automated mode, the transmission of signals (orders) and notification information is carried out using special technical means of notification associated with channels of the public communication network, departmental communication networks and broadcasting networks. In a non-automated mode, the transmission of signals (orders) and notification information is carried out using the means and communication channels of the national communication network, departmental communication networks and broadcasting networks.

A significant role in solving this problem is assigned to the all-Russian integrated system of informing and alerting the population. This system is intended for timely and guaranteed notification and dissemination of information about the dangers and rules of conduct in emergency situations, as well as for preparing the population for action in such situations.

The use of the system involves the display of warning signals, warning, educational and other information on electronic displays in crowded places and on other types of terminal devices (mobile phones, personal computers) in the form of special issues, electronic posters, videos, tickers.

One of the main ways to protect the population from emergencies is evacuation. In some situations (catastrophic flooding, prolonged radioactive contamination of the area), this method is the only possible one. The essence of evacuation is the organized movement of the population, material and cultural values ​​to safe areas.

Types and methods of evacuation are classified according to different criteria (Scheme 5).

The main measures taken in the Russian Federation to protect the population from emergencies

Scheme 5. Main types and methods of evacuation

Preventive (early) evacuation of the population from areas of possible emergency situations is carried out upon receipt of reliable data on the high probability of a beyond design basis accident at potentially hazardous facilities or a natural disaster with catastrophic consequences (flood, landslide, mudflow, etc.). The basis for its implementation is a short-term forecast of the occurrence of a beyond design basis accident or natural disaster for a period from several tens of minutes to several days. The removal (withdrawal) of the population in this case can be carried out with a short lead time and under the influence of the damaging factors of an emergency situation on people.

Emergency (immediate) evacuation of the population may also be carried out in the event of a violation of the normal life support of the population, in which there is a threat to the life and health of people. The criterion for making a decision to conduct an evacuation in this case is the excess of the standard recovery time for systems that ensure the satisfaction of vital human needs.

Depending on the scope of evacuation measures for the population in the emergency zone, evacuation can be general or partial. General evacuation involves the removal (withdrawal) of all categories of the population from the emergency zone. Partial evacuation provides for the removal (withdrawal) from the emergency zone of the disabled population, preschool children, students of schools, lyceums, colleges, etc. The choice of the evacuation option is carried out taking into account the extent and nature of the danger, the reliability of the forecast for its implementation, as well as the prospects economic use of production facilities located in the area of ​​action of damaging factors. The basis for making a decision to carry out an evacuation is a threat to the life and health of people, assessed according to pre-established criteria for each type of hazard. It is carried out, as a rule, according to the territorial-production principle. In some cases, evacuation can be carried out on a territorial basis.

The methods and timing of evacuation are determined depending on the scale of the emergency, the number of people remaining in the danger zone, the availability of transport and other local conditions. The evacuated population is in safe areas until further notice.

One of the measures to protect against emergencies, mainly of a military nature, is dispersal. Dispersal - this is a set of measures for the organized removal (withdrawal) from categorized cities and placement in a suburban area for living and recreation of personnel of economic facilities, whose production activities in wartime will continue in these cities.

Dispersal is subject to:

  • personnel of unique (specialized) objects of the economy, for the continuation of the work of which the corresponding production bases are located in categorized cities, but are absent in the suburban area;
  • personnel of organizations that ensure the production and life of objects of categorized cities (urban energy networks, utilities, public catering, healthcare, transport, communications, etc.).

It is located in suburban areas closest to the boundaries of categorized cities near railways, roads and waterways. The areas of its deployment in the suburban area are equipped with anti-radiation and simple shelters.

The complex of early and operational measures to protect the population in emergency situations includes engineering protection measures. According to experts, these measures are capable of reducing possible human losses and material damage by about 30%, and in seismic, mudflow and avalanche areas - up to 70%.

Engineering protection is planned and carried out on the basis of an assessment of the possible danger; taking into account the categories of the protected population; results of engineering-geodesic, geological, hydrometeorological studies; schemes of engineering protection of territories (general, detailed, special); taking into account the peculiarities of the use of territories.

The main measures of engineering protection of the population and territories in emergency situations of natural and man-made nature are:

  • shelter of people and material values ​​in the existing protective structures of civil defense and in the underground space of cities adapted for protection;
  • use for housing, work and recreation of residential, public and industrial buildings erected taking into account the seismicity of the respective territories;
  • the use of separate sealed rooms in residential buildings and public buildings in areas adjacent to radiation and chemically hazardous facilities;
  • shelter of families and labor collectives in apartments and industrial premises, in which self-sealing was carried out promptly;
  • prevention of spills of emergency chemically hazardous substances (AHOV) by bunding or deepening of containers;
  • erection and operation of engineering structures for protection against hazardous natural phenomena and processes.

The most effective among these measures is the shelter of the population in the protective structures of civil defense. Protective structures of civil defense are divided into seekers и anti-radiation shelters.

Shelters are classified according to their protective properties, capacity, location, provision of filtering equipment, construction time (Scheme 6).

The main measures taken in the Russian Federation to protect the population from emergencies

Scheme 6. Classification of shelters by capacity, location and time of construction

Shelters provide protection for people hiding in them from all the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion, shock wave, poisonous substances, bacteriological agents and thermal effects during fires. They are built in areas that are not subject to flooding. They have entrances and exits with the same degree of protection as the main premises, and in case of blockage, emergency exits and free approaches are equipped.

Anti-radiation shelters (PRU) are used mainly to protect the population of rural areas and small towns from radioactive contamination. Some of them are built in advance in peacetime, while others are adapted when there is a threat of an emergency or an armed conflict. As a rule, they are arranged in basements, basement and first floors of buildings, in household buildings (cellars, undergrounds, vegetable stores). PRUs provide the necessary attenuation of radioactive emissions, protect in case of accidents at chemically hazardous facilities and some natural disasters (storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, snowdrifts). Therefore, they are located near the places of residence or work of most of the sheltered. In addition to shelters and PRU, simple shelters are used to protect the population.

Part of the general set of measures to protect the population from natural and man-made emergencies are radiation and chemical protection measures. The importance of these measures is due to the presence in the country of a large number of dangerous radiation and chemical facilities, as well as the current state of radiation and chemical safety in the country.

The tasks of radiation and chemical protection of the population are:

  • continuous monitoring and assessment of the radiation and chemical situation in the areas where radiation and chemically hazardous facilities are located;
  • advance accumulation and maintenance in readiness for use of personal protective equipment, radiation and chemical reconnaissance and control devices;
  • creation, production and use of unified protective equipment, devices and sets of radiation, chemical reconnaissance and dosimetric control;
  • control over the intended use of personal protective equipment acquired by the population in the prescribed manner for personal use;
  • timely application of means and methods for identifying and assessing the scale and consequences of accidents at radiation and chemically hazardous facilities;
  • creation and use of systems (mainly automated) for monitoring the situation and local warning systems at radiation and chemically hazardous facilities;
  • development and application, if necessary, of regimes of radiation and chemical protection of the population and the functioning of economic facilities and infrastructure in conditions of pollution (contamination) of the area;
  • advance adaptation of public utilities and transport enterprises for special processing of clothing, property and vehicles and carrying out this processing in emergency conditions;
  • training the population in the use of personal protective equipment and the rules of conduct in a contaminated (contaminated) area.

The main measures to protect the public during a radiation accident include the following:

  • detection of the fact of an accident and notification of it;
  • reconnaissance of the radiation situation in the area of ​​the accident;
  • organization of radiation monitoring;
  • establishment and maintenance of the radiation safety regime;
  • carrying out (if necessary) at an early stage of the accident iodine prophylaxis of the population, personnel of the emergency facility and participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident;
  • providing the population, personnel of the emergency facility and participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident with personal protective equipment and the use of these funds;
  • shelter of the population, who found themselves in the accident zone, in shelters and shelters that ensure their protection;
  • sanitization of the population, personnel of the emergency facility and participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident;
  • decontamination of an emergency facility, industrial, social, residential facilities, territory, agricultural land, transport, other technical means, protective equipment, clothing, property, food and water;
  • evacuation or resettlement of citizens from areas where the level of pollution exceeds the permissible level for the population.

In the event of a chemical accident, the following main measures are taken:

  • detection of the fact of a chemical accident and notification of it;
  • reconnaissance of the chemical situation in the zone of a chemical accident;
  • compliance with the behavioral regimes in the territory contaminated with AHOV, norms and rules of chemical safety;
  • providing the population, personnel of the emergency facility and participants in the liquidation of the consequences of a chemical accident with means of individual protection of the respiratory organs and skin, the use of these means;
  • evacuation of the population (if necessary) from the accident zone and zones of possible chemical contamination;
  • shelter of the population and personnel in shelters that provide protection from hazardous chemicals;
  • prompt use of antidotes and skin treatments;
  • sanitization of the population, personnel of the emergency facility and participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident;
  • degassing of an emergency facility, industrial, social, residential facilities, territory, technical means, protective equipment, clothing and other property.

A significant role in the overall set of measures to protect the population from natural and man-made emergencies is played by medical protection measures:

  • preparation of medical staff for actions in emergency situations, medical and sanitary and moral and psychological preparation of the population;
  • advance accumulation of medical personal protective equipment, medical equipment and equipment, maintaining them in readiness for use;
  • maintaining the readiness of the hospital base of health authorities, regardless of their departmental affiliation and deploying additional medical institutions if necessary;
  • medical reconnaissance in the lesions and in the emergency zone;
  • carrying out medical and evacuation measures in the emergency zone;
  • medical support for the population in the emergency zone and participants in the liquidation of its consequences;
  • control of food, food raw materials, fodder, water and water sources;
  • carrying out sanitary-hygienic and anti-epidemic measures in order to ensure epidemic well-being in emergency zones.

An important element in the protection of the population and territories are fire safety measures:

  • normative legal regulation and implementation of state measures in the field of fire safety;
  • development and implementation of fire safety measures;
  • implementation of the rights, duties and responsibilities of citizens in the field of fire safety;
  • carrying out fire prevention propaganda and training the population in fire safety rules;
  • promoting the activities of voluntary fire brigades and fire protection associations, involving the population in ensuring fire safety;
  • information support in the field of fire safety;
  • implementation of state fire supervision and other control functions to ensure fire safety;
  • licensing of activities, certification of products and services in the field of fire safety;
  • fire insurance, the establishment of tax benefits and the implementation of other measures of social and economic incentives for ensuring fire safety;
  • extinguishing fires and conducting related emergency rescue operations.

An important factor influencing the effectiveness of protective measures is the preparation of the population in the field of civil defense and protection from emergencies.

It is understood as the purposeful activity of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments and organizations, aimed at mastering all groups of the population with knowledge and practical skills in protecting against natural and man-made emergencies, as well as from the dangers arising from the conduct of hostilities or as a result of these acts.

The following groups of the population are subject to training in the field of civil defense:

  • heads of federal executive authorities, heads of executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, heads of local governments and organizations;
  • civil defense officials and workers;
  • personnel of emergency rescue units and rescue services;
  • working population;
  • students of general education institutions and students of vocational education institutions;
  • unemployed population.

Training in the field of protection from emergencies is carried out by:

  • heads of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments and organizations;
  • chairmen of commissions for emergency situations and fire safety of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments and organizations;
  • employees of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments and organizations specially authorized to solve the tasks of preventing and eliminating emergency situations and being part of the management bodies of the RSChS;
  • working population;
  • students of general education institutions and students of vocational education institutions;
  • unemployed population.

Training in the field of civil defense and protection against emergency situations is carried out within the framework of a unified system of training the population. It is mandatory and is carried out in educational institutions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, in institutions for advanced training of federal executive bodies and organizations, in educational and methodological centers for civil defense and emergency situations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in civil defense courses of municipalities, at the place of work, study and residence of citizens.

The main tasks of training the population in the field of civil defense and protection from emergencies are:

  • studying the rules of conduct, methods of protection and actions in emergency situations of peacetime and wartime, the procedure for acting on warning signals, methods of providing first aid to victims, the rules for using personal and collective protective equipment;
  • improving the practical skills of managers at all levels in the organization and implementation of measures to prevent and eliminate emergency situations, civil defense measures, as well as the skills of managing the forces and means of the RSChS and civil defense during rescue and other urgent work;
  • mastering the personnel of the RSChS and civil defense forces with methods and methods of action to protect the population, territories, material and cultural values ​​in emergency situations of peacetime and wartime.
  • In order to directly protect the population from the impact of damaging factors of sources of emergency situations, emergency rescue and other urgent work is carried out.

Rescue work includes:

  • reconnaissance of traffic routes and work sites;
  • localization and extinguishing of fires on traffic routes and work areas;
  • elimination or reduction to the minimum possible level of factors that impede the conduct of rescue operations;
  • search and extraction of victims from damaged and burning buildings, gassed, flooded and smoky premises, from rubble and blocked premises;
  • provision of first medical and medical aid to the victims and their evacuation to medical institutions;
  • removal (withdrawal) of the population from dangerous zones;
  • sanitization of people, veterinary treatment of animals, decontamination, disinfection and degassing of equipment, protective equipment and clothing, decontamination of territory and facilities, food, water, food raw materials and fodder.

Rescue operations are carried out as soon as possible. This is explained by the need to provide medical assistance to the victims as soon as possible, as well as the fact that the volume of destruction and losses may increase due to the impact of secondary damaging factors (fires, explosions, floods, etc.).

In order to create conditions for conducting emergency rescue operations, prevent further damage and losses caused by secondary damaging factors, as well as ensure the vital activity of economic facilities and the affected population, urgent work:

  • laying of column tracks and arrangement of passages in the rubble and zones of infection (contamination);
  • localization of accidents on gas, energy, water, sewer, heat and technological networks in order to create safe conditions for rescue operations;
  • strengthening or collapse of structures of buildings and structures that threaten to collapse or impede the safe conduct of rescue operations;
  • repair and restoration of damaged and destroyed communication lines and utility networks in order to ensure rescue operations;
  • detection, neutralization and destruction of unexploded ordnance and other explosive objects;
  • repair and restoration of damaged protective structures of civil defense to shelter the population from possible re-exposure to damaging factors;
  • sanitary cleaning of the territory in the emergency zone;
  • priority life support of the affected population.

In the course of rescue and other urgent work, they are organized and carried out comprehensive support:

  • technical support, which is organized in order to maintain in working order all types of transport, engineering and other special equipment used to eliminate an emergency;
  • transport support that performs the tasks of removing the evacuated population, delivering forces and means of the RSChS to work sites, transporting material assets to safe areas;
  • road maintenance, which performs the tasks of maintaining roads and road structures in a passable condition, building new roads, equipping columned tracks and crossings;
  • hydrometeorological support, organized for the purpose of a comprehensive assessment of weather elements, timely detection of dangerous meteorological and hydrometeorological phenomena and processes, assessment of their possible impact on the actions of the RSChS forces and taking measures to protect the population;
  • metrological support, which consists in organizing the correct use and maintenance of measuring instruments, creating their exchange fund and reserve;
  • material support organized for the uninterrupted supply of the forces of the RSChS with material means necessary for carrying out rescue and other urgent work, as well as for the life support of the population and participants in emergency situations;
  • commandant service in the emergency zone, which ensures the organized and timely deployment of command and control bodies and forces of the RSChS, their advancement to the initial areas and to the places of emergency recovery and other urgent work.

Depending on the physical nature of the damaging factors, the nature of the emergency and its scale, some types of support become the main types of rescue and other urgent work. So, for example, reconnaissance in many emergency situations is an integral part of rescue and other urgent work, engineering measures are included in these works in case of large-scale destruction, extensive areas of pollution. In case of radiation and chemical accidents, radiation and chemical protection measures constitute an important part of emergency rescue and other urgent work. In the event of significant sanitary losses, medical protection measures are of paramount importance in the complex of liquidation measures.

Carrying out rescue operations in emergency zones is conditionally divided into three stages. At the initial stage, emergency measures are taken to protect the population, rescue the victims by local forces and prepare groups of forces and means for work. At the next stage (stage II), rescue and other urgent work is carried out directly. At the final stage (stage III), rescue and other urgent work is completed, management functions are gradually transferred to local administrations and the groupings of the RSChS forces are withdrawn from the emergency zone.

The operational formation of the grouping of forces of the RSChS should make it possible to carry out rescue operations in the shortest possible time (1-3 days), and their organization (separation) should ensure the timely completion of the entire list of works.

В first echelon forces performing rescue and other urgent work, as a rule, take part:

  • duty units of search and rescue services (detachments);
  • departmental units of gas and mine rescuers;
  • duty guards of fire-fighting divisions;
  • ambulance units on duty;
  • maneuverable search diving groups, permanent rescue posts and other units of the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels (GIMS) of the EMERCOM of Russia.

They arrive at the disaster area within 30 minutes. The main tasks of the first echelon forces are localization of an emergency, extinguishing fires, organizing radiation and chemical control, conducting search and rescue operations, and providing first aid.

If the forces of the first echelon are not able to complete the task of eliminating the emergency, the work includes second echelon. This echelon includes:

  • emergency rescue units of the search and rescue service and civil defense troops;
  • subdivisions of the State Fire Service;
  • specialized units of emergency medical care;
  • departmental divisions of rescuers;
  • subdivisions of GIMS EMERCOM of Russia.

The term of their arrival in the disaster area is no more than 3 hours. The main tasks of this echelon are to carry out rescue and other urgent work, radiation and chemical reconnaissance, life support for the affected population, and the provision of medical care.

If within 3 hours the tasks are not completed in full, then the third echelon starts work. Forces third tier include:

  • civil defense troops equipped with heavy equipment;
  • formations and military units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation;
  • specialized parts of construction and installation organizations.

The term of their arrival to the place of disaster is from 3 hours to several days. The forces of the third echelon carry out radiation and chemical control, carry out emergency rescue and other urgent work, restore primary life support in disaster areas (supply of electricity, heat, restore transport routes, provide victims with food, water, etc.).

To carry out suddenly arising tasks and build up efforts in the main areas of emergency rescue and other urgent work, a force grouping provides for a reserve of forces and means.

Carrying out emergency rescue and other urgent work is carried out by the forces and means of that territorial subsystem of the RSChS, on the territory or objects of which they arose. If the scale of the disaster is such that this subsystem cannot cope with the liquidation of its consequences on its own, the forces and means of the EMERCOM of Russia of central subordination and federal executive bodies are involved in emergency rescue operations.

At the facilities, rescue and other urgent work, as a rule, is carried out by the constant readiness forces of the facility and local levels of the RSChS, as well as by emergency rescue teams.

The procedure for the work of the leaders of emergency rescue teams (hereinafter referred to as the leader of the team) when organizing emergency rescue and other urgent work is indicated in Scheme 7.

The main measures taken in the Russian Federation to protect the population from emergencies

Scheme 7. The sequence of work of the head of the emergency rescue team when organizing emergency rescue and other urgent work

Clarifying the task, the leader of the formation must understand the purpose of the upcoming actions, the plan of the senior commander, the task, place and role of his formation in the implementation of the overall task.

When assessing the situation on the basis of intelligence data, the leader of the formation must:

  • assess the nature and extent of destruction, fires and injuries at the site (object) of work and the path of advance;
  • assess the radiation, chemical and biological environment and its impact on the performance of the task;
  • determine the types and volumes of upcoming work;
  • choose the most expedient directions for the advancement and entry of the formation into the lesion focus and onto the site (object) of work;
  • evaluate the technical equipment and capabilities of their own and attached formations;
  • understand the position, nature of actions and tasks of neighbors;
  • assess the nature of the terrain and its impact on the actions of the formation, the state of the route of advance to the lesion and to the site (object) of work;
  • assess the impact of weather, time of year and day on the task.

In the decision to be made, the head of the formation must determine:

  • plan of action (on which element of the work site to focus the main efforts, determine the sequence of work, distribute forces and means);
  • tasks of subordinate and attached formations, methods and terms of their implementation;
  • the procedure for advancing to the site (object) of work;
  • the order of interaction;
  • measures to organize management and support. The decision of the head of the formation can be specified
  • before entering the formation on the site (object) and in the course of work. It is drawn up graphically on a plan (map) with a brief explanatory note.

After making a decision, the head of the formation gives an order in which he indicates:

  • brief conclusions from the assessment of the situation on the route of advance and the site (object) of work;
  • formation tasks;
  • tasks of neighbors;
  • action plan;
  • after the word "I order" tasks to subordinate units (teams, groups, links) and attached formations;
  • locations of medical centers, ways and procedure for evacuation of victims;
  • allowable doses of radioactive exposure of personnel;
  • start and finish time of work, own place and deputies, warning signals and actions on them, the procedure for interaction and logistics, safety measures during work, etc.
