Ⅱ．The Ministry, called to save
Ministry of Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural
Disasters(EMERCOM of Russia) was established on January 10, 1994, according to the President of Russia’s
Ordnance, although EMERCOM of Russia used to celebrate its birthday on December 27, as it was the exact day
in the year of 1990, when the Russian Corps of Rescuers had been created, with the purpose to provide swift andeffective response in case of emergency situations occurrence.
In the period of six years of its existence, the Ministry completed a number of the operations, resulted with thehuman lives, huge natural and material resources spared. EMERCOM of Russia represents a federal body of
executive power and, as such, is tasked with the following:● Governmental policy proposals drafting in the field of civil protection, emergency situations prevention andresponse, including nuclear disasters and accidents;●provision of functioning and further development for the Unified Emergency Situations Prevention and ResponceState System;●Control over Russian Federation Civil Protection as well as Search and Rescue Service;●implementation of activities in the field of emergency situations prevention and response;●control over actions connected with wide-scale disasters, accidents and another emergency situations response;● supervision over the legal financial spending of the resources, allocated by the Government for emergency
situations response activities;● organisation of training and preparedness of the population for the proper reaction and actions in case of
emergency situations occurrence.

The Government’s strategy to decrease risks and to mitigate theconsequences of the emergency situations designed for the period up
to the year of 2012 exemplifies one of the principal directions in the
Russian Government’s policy, which is supposed to be implemented by
EMERCOM of Russia.
First Vice-Minister Yu.Vorobiev

Ⅲ．Ministry of Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies andElimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters

Ⅳ．Crisis Management Centre (CMC)
EMERCOM of Russia’s CMC represents a main body for the day-to-day management of a Unified Emergency
Prevention and Response State System (UEPRSS) and, as such, is tasked with the following:
1.
Provision of firm and continuos management of the forces and assets allocated for emergency prevention andresponse.
2.
Provision of necessary information for the system as a whole and for EMERCOM of Russia.
3.
Coordination of all UEPRSS segments activities. CMC principal services are on stand-by duty round the clock.
Apart of communications and hardware experts, duty service comprises chief duty officer and duty shift officers. Chiefduty officer is to organize an immediate initial response on an emergency situation until eventual deployment of theemergency response temporary HQs.
Duty shift officers are responsible for the information’s collection, evaluation and processing automatically, as well
as for supporting the emergency response temporary Hqs and meeting its informational requirements. This shift iscapable of gathering information on several emergency situations occurred on federal or regional level, as well as ofmonitoring situation on the places of earlier disasters emergency response.
The duty shift processes and enters into unified information net of the Ministry the information about all
emergency situations originated by all Russian Federation entities and by the relevant duty services of the federal
ministries and agencies. This particular net is receiving an information out of the regions and is storing operational andreference information on the emergency situations which is used by the forecast services. Processed forecasts then aresent back to Crisis Management Centre to represent a base for any future decisions taken by the leadership of the
Ministry.
In general, the unified information space has been created which allows close interaction with the President’s
Office, Russian Government and another sister-ministries and agencies.

Ⅴ．Rescue troops
Civil protection troops numbered now 23,000 of personnel, represent a backbone of the Russian Ministry of
Emergency Situations. Their tasks include the following:・reconnaissance of the situation in the places of emergency situations occurrence;・localisation of emergency situations; implementation of rescue and another recovery and mitigation works;
・provision of relief, assistance and evacuation of the affected persons;・population life support.
These troops are composed of the rescue brigades, mechanized civil protection regiments and battalions, special
protection companies and detached helicopters squadrons. They are armed with the specialised equipment, such asengineering, medical, radiation, chemical and biological protection. Nowadays civil protection troops are equipped withthe modem devices and emergency rescue tools to implement their missions in the emergency situations zones, as wellas with the high-negotiating capabilities specialised vehicles.
In the peace time the civil protection troops are functioning within the framework of the Unified Emergency
Situations Prevention and Responce State System. As for the war time, they are under control of the Civil Protection
system. In any occasion ,their primary task is to protect the country’s population and its territory while emergency
situations.

Ⅵ．Search and Rescue Service
The search and rescue services, built upon the base of different tourist' and Mountaineers' rescue services
represent a first-line asset in the framework of the Ministry's emergency response services. Their main mission is toprovide immediate and effective assistance to the people endangered with the emergency situations. In the course of the
rescue works, the search and rescue services coordinate their actions with the regional headquarters for civil protectionand emergency situations, along with the Interior Ministry and Health Ministry units and detachments. They are
greatly involved as well into the education programmes for the population concerning the rules of behaviour in the open
nature, first-aid provision in case of the accidents.
Nowadays Russia counts 58 search and rescue services, deployed in the most vulnerable natural or human createddisasters regions.

Ⅶ．Central Airmobile Rescue Detachment (TSENTROSPAS)--"The people of this courageous profession are quite frequently in the dead centre of the most dangerous trials as
earthquakes, floods, fires and alike. They do deserve our common gratitude and appreciation for their selflessness,intrepidity and high motivation."("Rossiyskaya gazeta" newspaper)-EMERCOM of Russia Rescue service’s pride and elite is represented by the Central Airmobile Rescue
Detachment, created back in 1992. It lists 310 of personnel, who are the top professionals and consider their lives
unworthy without saving peoples.
The principal services of “TSENTROSPAS” are the following: rescue, rescue works logistical support, air support,
transport, communications and information, expeditional, airmobile hospital.

In conjunction with the different types of rescue operations implementation, the detachment is also capable ofunique airdropping of the assorted loads, equipment and the modules of the airmobile hospital to the place of emergency
situations occurrence.
The detachment is supplied with the highly diversified specialised equipment, life-supporting devices, means ofaffected persons delivery, search and rescue, all types of communications, including satellite ones, helicopters of Mi-8
and MBO-105 types, high-negotiating features vehicles.
TSENTROSPAS implements immediate search and rescue works within Russian Federation and abroad, delivers
humanitarian supplies to the emergency situations zones, evacuates population out of the disaster and social unrest
areas. The rescuers of the detachment, where eight among them are internationally certified, took part into 130 actions
and operations in Russia and in the foreign countries.

Ⅷ．Canine service
Canine service is supposed to be the freshest one in the Ministry, although it is not possible today to imagine
the rescue works without the specially trained dogs. This service is responsible for the training of the rescue dogs
conductors, as well as the drilling and training of the service dogs which are widely used to search for the victims in caseof earthquakes, explosions, buildings destruction and avalanches. There is a sufficient number of working dogs of thedifferent breed, like German shepherds, Russian spaniels, Newfoundlanders, Labradores, American Staffordshire
terriers.
This service may recall quite a number of operations to save the human lives and to search for the victims, likeearthquake in Neftegorsk, Kaspiysk, aircrash near Abakan, search for the survivors while avalanches in the Central
Caucasus mountains.
Good relations are established with the sister-services of the foreign countries, which have quite an experiencein the service dogs' employment for the rescue operations, to name but a few: Switzerland, Austria, France and theothers.

Ⅸ．Civil protection academy
The Civil Protection Academy, created in 1992, is the leading training-methodological and scientific center inthe field of civil protection. The Academy is training the professionals on the state and municipal levels of management,
civil protection engineers for emergency situations, engineers with the mathematical education.
Nowadays there are 2 Russian Academy of Science members, 2 members-correspondents, 10 doctors and 44
candidates among the teaching personnel of the Academy.
Concentrating mostly on the scientific researches, Academy’s teachers are studying, evaluating and processing
national and international experience in the field of emergency situations prevention and response, elimination ofconsequences of natural disasters and accidents, population’s protection and life support, safety of the industrial
facilities, economy’s mobilisation preparedness. The Academy is also responsible for the management of the regional
training and methodology centers for civil protection and emergency situations.
Academy’s graduates are employed by the different ministries, federal and municipal executive bodies, they areteaching in the higher education facilities and serving in the Civil Protection Forces.
Since 1995, the Academy is training the foreign experts in civil protection in order to increase their professional
skills in accordance with the programmes, adopted by the International Civil Defence Organization and UN Departmentof Humanitarian Affairs.

Ⅹ．Russian international training center for rescuersThis Center was inaugurated in 1996 as an international facility of humanitarian nature. Representing a
structural branch of the Civil Protection Academy, the Center is dealing with the training and professional skills
improvement of the rescuers and emergency rescue services’ experts.
The Center is situated in the vicinity of Moscow, in the town of Noginsk. It is equipped with the modern
training facilities, as well as a unique training range which enables to simulate the different types of emergency
situations (devastation, debris of high story buildings, communal and power supply network wreckage, vehicles
accidents, fires etc.) in order to implement emergency rescue works drills.
The Center’s instructors are the high class professionals, profoundly experienced in the practical, scientific andtraining activities. The training methodology was prepared by EMERCOM of Russia’s experts on the basis of theinternational law. Approximately 70 % of the training time is allocated for the practical drills, and another 30 % - for thetheoretical classes, including fire fighting, medical and psychological education.
The principal modus operandi of the Center is represented in its openness whichmakes it easily accessible and available for any countries and organizations.

XI．Technical safety and new technologies
Technical safety for the Ministry’s services is ensured by a Special Centre of the Ministry, created in 1995,
which was tasked with unified technical policy provision primarily, in the field of information protection soft-ware, bymeans of computer virus-killing programmes creation and implementation. Secondly, the Centre was licensed withcertification tests rights, and a special workshop was set up to ensure the highest degree of technical safety for the
search, rescue and another operations equipment. This work shop is supposed to test and to issue certificates on theequipment and tools which influence greatly by their quality the effectiveness of the Ministry’s rescue services activities.
Besides, the Centre implements unified technical approach to the navigation equipment for the rescue
operations. A programme called Leader Info-Navigation System U is worked out which includes contemporary Russianand foreign technologies. Humanitarian supplies convoys safety is ensured by the specially equipped escort vehicles.
Such vehicles, due to their satellite or the other means of communications, provided permanent duplex radioexchangewith the humanitarian convoys while relief operations in Chechnya, Georgia, former Yugoslavia, Rwanda.
Robotic equipment is coming to assist the Ministry’s rescuers as well. One of the best models in the range of theunmanned small aircrafts, for example, which is used for the search operations, is a guided unmanned vehicle called
Pronya with the digital photo camera on board. Economical and user-friendly, it can fly over the territory on the
distances up to 15 clicks. With its high precision snapshots, Pronya could be of great assistance while affected persons
searching as a result of floods, avalanches and another emergency situations.

XII. Aviation on Emercom of Russia's service
EMERCOM of Russia’s experience shows that nowadays it 15 not possible to implement practically any serious
task connected with emergency situations response without aviation component. Aviation’s ability to deliver rescuers,
equipment, medicine and different loads to the places of emergency situations occurrences almost in no time defines itsrole as a pillar, which the mobility and effectiveness of the Russian emergency service is rested upon.
To mention an example of the new aviation technologies creation and functioning there is the utilisation of theheavy transport aircrafts of “IL76”type for the purpose of massive forest fires fighting. The State Aviation Enterprise of
the Ministry is equipped with five of them, fitted with the special vapor dispensers (tanks) of 42 MT volume of water orfire extinguishing liquid. In the year of 1996, these aircrafts were fighting forest fires in the region of Khabarovsk, aswell as participated in the firefighting on the oil depot in the vicinity of Volgograd.
The aviation technologies further development is connected primarily with new Russian aircrafts acquisition.
Soon it is planned to equip the Ministry with a multipurpose aircraft of “BE-200”type, capable of taking 12 MT of wateron board while gliding on the water surface which will increase greatly the effectiveness of the firefighting. New
emergency rescue helicopter of “Ka-226A”type is already cooked up, fitted with two “Alisson” engines.
This helicopter is expected to be better than the foreign ones of the same type and to solve the problem of the
rescue works implementation in the most complicated conditions like inside such megalopolises as Moscow and StPetersburg.

XIII. Scientific researches in the field of civil protection
The All-Russian Research and Scientific Institute for Civil Protection and Emergency Situations Problems is
playing a leading role in scientific support and provision for EMERCOM of Russia’s activities, It was established in 1976
and since then has completed more than 1000 scientific research and construction testing works which were widely
recognized in the scientific community. This is the only organization in Russia and CIS countries which is able toprovide complete solution of the principal scientific problems such as:
・population and environment protection in case of the different types of disasters and accidents;
・creation, functioning and development of the systems to control, prevent and respond to the emergency situations;・new technologies’ development, including the production of the rescue and search equipment.
The institute is keeping a renewed bank of information on the natural and human-created emergency
situations on the Russian territory. Apart of this, it is dealing with the evaluation of the potential risks in the different
regions (to ensure security of the investments there), and with the wide-scale researches in the field of nuclear materials
stability and reactions in different environment.
On the base of this institute a new facility -Emergency Situations Monitoring and Forecasting Agency is now
being created.
The institute cooperates in its researches with more than 100 scientific and construction testing Russianorganizations. It implements now researches connected with the space monitoring of accidents and disasters inaccordance with one of the programmes developed by the EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement

XⅣ. Safety school
One of the principal directions of EMERCOM of Russia’s activities is the familiarisation of the population withthe rules of behaviour in extreme situations. This task lays within the mainstream of the state measures system toprotect the population and the territories against emergency situations.
Several years ago, a new training programme was introduced for the high-schooland professional education. It was called “Life-support safety basics and aimed at the development of “human being selfprotection skills. Logically, this type of training proceeds with three following stages:
・definition of the threatening situation; measures to avoid it;・sequence of actions in case of personal involvement occurrence.
The similar programme has been included into the educational process of the higher education facilities, where
the plan of training might be diversified according to the facility’s speciality. Great attention in this programme isconcentrated on the prevention of emergency situations, considering the degree of the professional necessity of it for thedifferent groups of the students. For example, the would-be engineers should be aware of the kind of the situations
which might happen in the chemically endangered facility and what should be done in order to prevent such occurrence.
EMERCOM of Russia is working in close contact with mass-media agencies. In accordance with the Ministry's
request a special radio programme called “Survival school and a TV-programme named “TV-guard” have been produced
and aired regularly. These programmes explain the correct behaviour of a person in the extreme situation. Besides, theMinistry supports printed publications aimed at increasing population’s awareness of the proper actions in emergency
situations. Its own illustrated magazine, having wide experience and proved traditions, is serving the same purpose.

XV. Exhibitions and fairs
As experience shows, it is possible to increase the effectiveness of the emergency rescue works, to diminish theperiod of emergency response and, at last, to minimize human and material losses twice or even thrice capitalising on
the improvement of the technical assets for the rescue units.
Thus, EMERCOM of Russia holds annually an international exhibition called Rescue means which becomes apresentation of the top-on-the-line samples for rescue equipment and tools produced in Russia and abroad. Exhibitionbooths vary a lot by their issues covered, such as:・methods of natural and human-created disasters prevention and response;・rescue works implementation technology;
・emergency rescue and fire fighting equipment and tools;
・personal and group protection gear;
・chemical, radiation and ecological monitoring and control means;・special wear and equipment for the rescuers;
・prefabricated living facilities and tents;
・water purification systems;
・emergency ambulance and first-aid etc.
On such exhibitions expertise and evaluation commissions composed of EMERCOM of Russia’s experts areworking to evaluate and to choose the best samples of production. The popularity and worthiness of Rescue means
exhibitions among the experts and producers is proved and confirmed by the fact that the first one, called in the year of
1994, was at tended by 95 participants, whereas the fourth one, which is planned to be held in Moscow on summer-97, is
expected to gather more than 200 producers out of 20 countries.

XⅥ. EMERCOAM of Russia’s international activities
A number of emergency situations and their consequences might influence the neighbouring countries, as wellas the humanitarian disasters might endanger the whole regions. This situation requires finely tuned working
cooperation on the contemporary international legal basis. The Ministry develops multifaceted cooperation with therelevant emergency services and humanitarian structures of United Nations, European Union, NATO and the mostexperienced and developed countries in the field of common professional interests. EMERCOM of Russia is closely
working with the Russian Foreign Ministry in this direction. Several bilateral and multilateral interstate agreements
have been prepared and are now in force with many countries - members of the Commonwealth of Independent States
and another foreign states (Germany, Italy, France, Switzeriand, USA, Bulgaria etc.). New agreements on cooperation
with such countries like Ukraine, Spain, Japan, China, Norway and Baltic states are in the process of preparation.
In 1996, a Memorandum was signed in Moscow within the framework of Gor-Chemomyrdin Commission
between the governments of the Russian Federation and the United States of America on cooperation in the field of
human-created emergency situations prevention and disaster mitigation and response, which represented a new step on
the road of cooperation between two countries.
Same year, Mr.S.Shoigu, the Ministerof Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination ofConsequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM of Russia) and Mr.X.Solana, NATO’s Secretary-General, have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding in the field of civil emergency planning.

EMERCOM of Russia cooperates quite closely with the relevant international organizations, which coordinate
different nations efforts in the international rescue and humanitarian activities, as well as training of national
personnel for these purposes. They list UN Depertment of Humanitarian Affairs (UN DHA), UN High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), International Civil Defence Organization (ICDO). MERCOM of Russia perticipates within thedescribed range of international cooperation in the implementation of the World-wide long-term programmes andprojects, such as Military and Civil Defence Assets for Emergency Response, World Food Programme” “Chemobyl”“World Aid, and the regional ones, for example, in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, to name but a few.
In 1995, the Russian National Corps for Emergency Humanitarian Response (RNCEHR) was established by the
Russian Government Resolution. This Corps is able to work independently in any region of the world complying fully
with UN standards. EMERCOM Agency has became the managing and coordinating focal point of the Corps. Its maintasks include the following:- the establishment and development of the working relations with UN and another international humanitarianorganizations; provision of the contemporary advanced machinery and equipment for the Corps;- coordination of the airmobile task forces actions in case of emergency situations occurrences abroad;- presentation and development of Russian initiatives on the humanitarian actions implementation;- attraction of the investments, necessary to support Russian integration to the world economy’s system within
EMERCOM of Russia’s responsibilities.
According to the contract, signed with UNHCR, EMERCOM of Russia’s humanitarian trucking convoys havebeen delivering humanitarian relief to the encircled
anclaves in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the refugees and internally displaced persons in the former Yugoslavia forthree years. The similar convoys worked on the mountain roads of Georgia, frequently delivering fuel and lubricants for
the Russian Orthodox religious community of Dukhobores (“Spirit Fighters"). Swift and efficient actions of EMERCOM
of Russia's aviation and trucking convoys in Tanzania and Zaire spared thousands of human lives and laid the basis forthe restoration of cooperation with the African countries.
In the year of 1997-1998, EMERCOM of Russia, together with the foreign scientists, is planning to continue thefurther realisation of the new airmobile technologies and another advanced researches in the field of rescue machineryand tools, seismology and space monitoring.
