Analysis of Current Trends in the Dynamics of Material Damage from Emergencies in the Southern Federal District and Its Regions

The dialectic of the development of socio-economic objects includes the periodic occurrence in the process of such development of various emergency situations (emergencies), perceived by society as random phenomena with very severe economic consequences. Such a random nature makes it difficult to perceive them as specific processes, as well as their economic assessment, as well as the development of measures to prevent and reduce negative consequences. The article reflects a study on the use of statistical data to identify trends in the development of emergency situations and the severity of their economic consequences in the Southern Federal District of Russia. She presents the opportunities that open up for emergency management bodies and also makes outlines for the creation of a methodology for working with statistical data that could be used to create a special information and reference system for information support of the emergency management process. Such a process approach makes it possible to understand trends, give them an economic interpretation, as well as develop effective ways to prevent the occurrence and mitigate overcoming. So far, such scientific and information tools are not actively used in practice, although with their application it would be possible to have a complex, dynamically developing picture.
