Development of an Algorithm of the Information and Technical Method of Emergency Prevention in the Territories Affected by Rocket and Artillery Damage

During the scientific research, the authors identified and described the main procedures of the information and technical method of preventing emergencies in the territories affected by rocket and artillery impacts. These procedures take the form of the corresponding algorithm of the information and technical method of emergency prevention. The authors pay attention to preventing emergencies due to harmful (polluting) substances in the soil above the maximum permissible concentration. The main focus is on the optimisation of soil sampling. Optimisation is a vital element of the reliability and representativeness of the results of soil hazard research. It affects the timely limitation of the spread of the effects of pollution in terms of area and number of victims. During emergency prevention, monitoring is considered one of the main processes in the civil protection system of the population and territories. Decision-making and determination of the necessary measures to counteract the consequences of hazards depend on high-quality and timely detection and assessment, in this case, of soil contamination in the combat zone. The main procedures of the algorithm of the information and technical method of preventing emergencies include: collecting and analysing statistical data; determining priority of monitoring areas; determining goals by types of hazards; setting tasks; choosing a monitoring scheme; determining monitoring procedures and their characteristics; solving monitoring issues; monitoring; making management decisions to limit the spread of the consequences of hazards. An effectively planned monitoring procedure that takes into account the features of the territory of military influence and the use of available resources to ensure adequate coverage of the studied area will allow the collection of a representative set of samples that will accurately reflect the levels of pollution and will allow to prevent the spread of the consequences of hazards from the object level to higher levels (occurrence of emergency at the local or even regional level).
