The peculiarities prevention emergency analysis abroad associated with the underwater location of explosives
Abstract
Purpose: analysis of the prevention emergencies features of associated with the underwater location of explosive objects in the leading countries of the world.
Method: the qualitative review of the science sources of the leading countries of the world, which discusses the features of humanitarian underwater demining at the regional level.
Findings: bibliographic information has been collected and analyzed from 105 sources; based on the results obtained, it was found that until recently, the national armed forces had exclusive experience in destroying underwater explosive objects, and today these dangers are eliminated along with them by various organizations (commercial companies, non-governmental organizations, teams of central and local authorities, etc.).
Theoretical implications: the method of systematic analysis of information sources by simultaneously considering both military and humanitarian information on issues of underwater demining has been further developed.
Practical value of the research: the main result of research on the subject of the article is the determination of the need to adjust the activities of the personnel of non-military organizations in addition to the skills that are given during the primary training by specialized units of the navy.
Value of the research: the process of preventing emergencies related to the underwater location of explosive objects must be considered taking into account the significant differences in the activities of sappers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine from the activities of sappers of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, that have been shown.
Research Limitations/Future Research: The conclusions drawn may differ from the analysis of the international activities charitable and non-profit organizations engaged in the clearance of mines and unexploded ordnance, which may pose a danger to civilians. Future studies should be related to experimental studies of the activities characteristics of sappers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
