MANAGEMENT OF CIVIL PROTECTION AS A COMPONENT OF MUNICIPAL SECURITY OF A BIG CITY

Abstract

Abstract. Sustainable socio-economic development of the territorial community and the growth of the welfare of its population is impossible without addressing the safety of human life, its protection from various emergencies, fires and dangerous events. In the course of the reform of local self-government and territorial organization of power in Ukraine, powers important for the security of the population are transferred to the closest to the basic level of power - in territorial communities. It is at the level of urban, settlement and rural communities that the main measures for the protection of the population and territories are organized and implemented. Therefore, every community from the first days of its existence must learn to thoroughly plan and organize their security, protection of the population and territories from possible emergencies. In Ukraine, local self-government is being reformed and power is being decentralized, which involves the transfer of greater powers and resources to the level of territorial communities. The most important powers for people are transferred to the nearest level of government. In accordance with the requirements of current legislation, a simple and logical system of local self-government should be built, capable of ensuring a comfortable and safe life for citizens. Acceptable conditions of human life directly depend on the conditions of safe stay in the environment. Therefore, one of the main measures to reform the administrative-territorial structure of the country is to build a system of protection of the population and territories from emergencies, capable of guaranteeing human security. The level of risk in non- profit municipal activities requires a clear understanding of management's growing expectations from the public environment and local communities. The processes of decentralization of public administration also set new requirements for municipal activities and increase the responsibility of local governments for the implementation of effective change. Local self-government is a characteristic feature of democratic development and is one of the most important elements of the relationship between state and society. The abstract opposition of state and local self-government in some theories is erroneous, world practice clearly demonstrates the inevitability of their coexistence and close interaction. Public administration and local self-government are institutions of society, each of which, performing its inherent functions, contributes to its overall formation and development. According to the Code of Civil Protection of Ukraine, the powers of local state administrations in the field of civil protection include, in particular: ensuring civil protection in the relevant territory; ensuring the implementation of tasks created by the territorial subsystems and their links; development and implementation of regional, local programs and action plans in the field of civil protection, in particular, aimed at protecting the population and territories from emergencies and preventing their occurrence, ensuring man-made and fire safety. Maintaining the security of cities entails the creation of public infrastructure for activities and the introduction of technologies that ensure the protection of citizens. Prevention of emergencies of man-made and natural nature, reduction of losses and losses in case of their occurrence and effective elimination of the consequences of emergencies is one of the main priorities in the activities of local executive bodies. In order to optimize the structure of the executive body of the Kyiv City Council (Kyiv City State Administration), as well as to ensure the implementation of tasks on defense, civil defense and cooperation with law enforcement agencies, the structure of the Municipal Security Department of the executive body of the Kyiv City Council (Kyiv City State Administration) was approved. which includes the Office of Civil Protection. The establishment of the Department of Municipal Security of the Kyiv City State Administration was justified by the practice of responding to emergencies at the city level, given that the functioning of separate units in the areas of activity complicates interaction and coordination of actions in emergencies at the local level. on response and distribution of available material and technical resources.
