The EMERCOM of Russia has defined criteria for classifying events as emergencies

The order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia "On establishing criteria for information on natural and man-made emergencies" was registered by the Ministry of Justice on September 16 of this year.

The regulatory legal act defines exhaustive criteria for various man-made and natural emergencies, including damage caused to the health of citizens.

In particular, the decision to classify an event as an emergency situation related to a biological hazard is made on the basis of proposals from Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) and Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor).

The order comes into force on January 1, 2022 and is the norm of law for the collection and exchange of information for all interested executive authorities that are part of the Unified State System for Preventing and Eliminating Emergency Situations.
