Abstract
This material is the second part of a single research material on the topic. Within the framework of this part, the features of the implementation of the disaster prevention mechanism at the national level are analyzed, taking into account the international foundations of this area. The author considers preventive activities to protect against disasters, both in the context of the forecast and readiness of the territory, and timely supervisory activities by state bodies. Responsibility for the consequences of disasters, in turn, is a necessary element of a developed state to ensure the protection of its population, which is present in the activities of the state itself and its bodies, business, and society. The article presents the contradictions of theoretical and practical approaches to the formation of such responsibility, and also reflects the author’s opinion on the possibility of applying social responsibility equally with state responsibility.
Keywords
prevention from disaster, liability for the consequences of disasters, protection from disaster, social responsibility, international law of disaster
