A PANDEMIC AS A DISTURBING EFFECT IN THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

Abstract. The emergence of new, the return of old nosological forms of dangerous infectious diseases, in addition to natural processes, can be caused by the targeted exposure and illegal use of hazardous biological agents and products of synthetic biology, the lack of clear rules when working with dangerous biological agents. Solving the problem of ensuring an appropriate level of biological safety and biological protection in Ukraine requires intersectoral cooperation and the step-by-step creation of a single system of biological safety and biological protection according to the principle of "one health" and is impossible without the attraction of significant intellectual and financial resources, the introduction of effective management decisions and support from the state, territorial communities and the international community. According to the results of the analysis of regulatory acts, which is the basis for making management decisions in the system of emergency response to events, are dangerous to human life and health, we can say that the most regulatory acts are inconsistent due to imbalance and a lack of understanding of the complexity of the consequences of any disturbing impact (COVID-19 pandemic) in the conditions of an unfinished administrative reform, where there was a clear definition of the mission, functions and tasks of the central executive bodies included in the United state system of civil protection. Based on the analysis of events and the reaction of control systems, civil protection in particular, we can say that such unpredictable, emergencies that twist all calculations and radically change all existing ideas, create not only additional obstacles, but also create opportunities for positive changes. Within the framework of decentralization, it is important that the current legislation endows local self-government bodies and local executive authorities with specific functions and powers, in particular, to ensure the sanitary and epidemic well-being of the population, which are the basis of their practice. In addition to the fact that these powers are specific (this follows from the specifics of the relevant laws), the scope of powers of local state administrations and local self-government bodies is quite wide. There is a duplication of the powers of these local authorities, which causes an irrational use of human, financial, and other resources and does not contribute to an increase in the efficiency of state administration to ensure the sanitary and epidemic well-being of the population, leads to the safety of the health and life of citizens.
