Abstract
The article says that the population and the economy of the world as a whole and Russia in particular are constantly at risk of natural hazards. Steady production growth and rapid urbanization, the concentration of population and enterprises in the areas of natural hazards (primarily the coast, the 150-km strip home to 44% of the world population and the concentrated 4/5 of the largest cities in the world)are the main factors increasing the risk. This is reflected in the trend of steady growth in the number of emergency situations of natural character and - even more rapidly - of socio-economic damage they cause. As a result, one observes a growing number of large-scale disasters (natural disasters) which, accounting for just a tenth of the total number of these emergencies, are accompanied by great human losses and material damage to the economy. В статье говорится о том, что население и экономика мира и России в частности постоянно находятся под риском опасных природных воздействий. Устойчивый рост производства и ускоренная урбанизация, концентрация населения и предприятий в зонах природных опасностей (в первую очередь побережий, на 150 км которых проживает 44% мирового населения и сосредоточено 4/5 крупнейших городов мира) являются основными факторами увеличения риска. Это выражается в тенденции устойчивого роста числа чрезвычайных ситуаций природного характера и еще более ускоренными темпами наносимого ими социально-экономического ущерба. В результате растет число крупномасштабных бедствий (природных катастроф)2, которые, составляя всего десятую часть от общего числа указанных чрезвычайных ситуаций, сопровождаются большими людскими потерями и материальным ущербом экономике.
