Ukraine should introduce the national system of steadfastness, with a clear security and defense interaction, government bodies, territorial communities, business, population in preventing and responding to threats, establishing reliable communication channels between government bodies and population. Civil and social protection are the main directions for priority interests realization. Its development requires new forms and methods of security ensuring for territorial communities, that would be aimed at increasing of management decision-making process efficiency.
Reasonable measures to reduce the amount of damages, possible losses and destructions, social problems should be carried out in advance, basing on necessity and sufficiency principles and maximum possible usage of available forces and means.
Local self-government bodies authority should be directed to ensure: civil protection programs realization; notification and informing population; working process organization aimed at emergency situations consequences elimination; radiation, chemical, biological, medical and social protection of population and engineering for territories protection; organization and fulfillment of humanitarian evacuations to safe relocation areas; accommodation and life support services for people; comprehensive approach to real threats with possible cascading effect.
Security decentralization is focused on existing institutions optimization and new structures creation. It requires additional funding from local budgets. Normative legal acts do not establish (provide recommendations) criteria for civil and social protection volume.
There were noted the next trends: insufficient level of staff qualification, inefficient usage of financial resources, lack of mechanism for district budget and transfers redistribution.
The reforms directed to existing institutions optimization require additional funding from local budgets. We offer the following solutions: set of measures formation aimed at decentralization process informing; research and development of national strategy focused on urban agglomerations formation; national personnel policy provision of managers training for territorial communities; new methodology for making managerial decisions regarding effective financial resources management; social and psychological support organization.
