TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF CIVIL PROTECTION OF THE POPULATION OF A TERRITORIAL COMMUNITY IN WAR CONDITIONS

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Introduction. Ensuring civil protection of the population is an important component of the
activities of state bodies and territorial communities, which requires an appropriate level of
coordination, cooperation and exchange of resources. In the context of decentralization in Ukraine, the
issue of cooperation between communities in the field of civil protection becomes particularly relevant,
since many territorial communities have received greater powers and responsibilities, but at the same
time face various challenges: insufficient funding, limited human and infrastructure resources,
differences in the level of personnel training and difficulties in implementing modern technologies.
Analysis of the state of cooperation between territorial communities in the field of civil protection allows
us to assess how effectively communities can respond to emergencies, prevent their occurrence and
reduce potential risks.
The purpose of the article is to reveal current trends in the development of the civil protection
system of the territorial community in wartime.
Research methods. In the process of writing this article, the following methods were used:
analysis and synthesis, system method, logical, dialectical, generalization method.
The results. Analysis of the state of cooperation between territorial communities in the field of
civil protection of the population of Ukraine indicates significant potential, as well as a number of
challenges that need to be addressed. In recent years, several international projects have been
implemented in Ukraine aimed at strengthening the capacity of communities in the field of civil
protection. It was determined that the state of cooperation between territorial communities in the field of
civil protection of the population has significantly improved thanks to a number of projects aimed at the
creation and development of voluntary fire brigades and generally strengthening civil protection at the
local level. The main areas of modern initiatives are presented, in particular, the introduction of
voluntary fire brigades; training and support for local rescuers; logistical support; regulatory and legal
improvement; information and consulting support. The shortcomings of the organization of cooperation
between territorial communities in Ukraine in the field of civil protection of the population are
highlighted, in particular, the lack of resources and equipment; limited human resources and qualified
volunteers; unsatisfactory level of legal regulation and clear procedures; low level of coordination
between communities and the State Emergency Service; insufficient awareness and lack of information
support; infrastructural and logistical limitations; insufficient funding for training programs and
interaction with international partners.
Prospects. Development of mechanisms for improving cooperation between territorial
communities in the field of civil protection of the population.
