Abstract:
The paper outlines experimental setup of “System for scientific monitoring of environmental, technological and social risks”. The setup allows performing system integration of research on forecast and measures for preventing disasters, crises and catastrophes conducted at Russian academy of sciences. The setup is targeted as an instrument of scientific support for the National emergency control center which is creating at the EMERCOM of Russia. The setup makes possible to shift from analysis of particular threats to systemic and interdisciplinary viewpoint on emergencies. As a result it should foster abilities to forecast and prevent emergency situations. Emergency control in Russia can be extended from operative level to tactical and strategic levels. Experimental setup is one of the instruments needed to accomplish this goal.
