Abstract

The study aims to develop a methodology for assessing and forecasting the impact of digital transformations on Ukraine's civil protection system amidst modern ecological and social challenges, as well as in the context of post-war national economic recovery. The key tasks of civil protection are examined with a focus on digital tools and their potential to enhance management, monitoring, and response efficiency. The article outlines contemporary trends in implementing innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence systems, the Internet of Things, big data platforms, mobile applications, chatbots, drones, thermal imaging devices, and more. A multidimensional approach to determining digital resilience is proposed based on indicators such as information and communication technologies, e-commerce, infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital skills, and e-government. Methods for assessing digital transformations are described, emphasising efficiency indicators, financial costs, and technical characteristics. The study identifies the high potential of digital innovations in increasing the resilience and adaptability of the civil protection system to modern challenges, particularly in rapid response to emergencies, resource optimisation, and managing the aftermath of crises. Thus, the publication demonstrates that implementing digital technologies is a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness of the civil protection system, promoting sustainable development, and facilitating Ukraine's economic recovery after the war.
