The technological progress of the 20th and
21st centuries has increased the risk of manufactured disasters. In
contrast, the current political landscape has led to a surge of threats related
to terrorism. Nevertheless, one aspect of emergency management has remained
relevant throughout the centuries. Since the dawn
of life, humanity has been subject to dangerous natural phenomena. Natural disaster remains widely used across settings
and differentiates between
human-conditioned and less controllable events caused by environmental processes. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,
hurricanes, and floods have become the reason for millions of deaths
across history. Despite considerable progress,
natural disasters remain an essential risk factor on the scale of the
whole planet. Therefore, the oldest element of emergency management has always
been one of its crucial aspects. It explores the relevant risks while
introducing a framework to mitigate the consequences of the impact of nature’s
forces. Additionally, the proposed approach
to the study of the mechanisms for optimizing the functioning of social
organizations, whose tasks are aimed at ensuring the safety of people in
conditions of constant natural and manufactured risk, will contribute to the
further theoretical and empirical study of similar problems in other areas of
national security.
