Remote assessment of an integrated emergency risk index

The article deals with the formation and remote assessment of the integrated emergency risk index for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on the three components of the risk index - an indicator of natural and human-induced hazards, vulnerability (population, objects and territories) and countermeasures (forces and means of warning, response and emergency response, the system of territories engineering protection from natural hazardous processes). This approach can be useful to decision-makers when developing measures to improve the protection of the population and territories from natural hazardous processes and man-made accidents, as well as to identify the most protected and less protected areas on the territory of the Russian Federation from natural and man-made threats.
