It is advisable to make changes to the organizational and methodological documents on the implementation of compensation payments to the population that are necessary to improve the mechanism for providing assistance to citizens and control over the activities of relevant local authorities.Currently, the above-mentioned regulatory legal documents are being revised, and new approaches to assisting victims in disaster zones are being developed. The adoption of the necessary regulatory legal documents will simplify the procedures and terms of providing financial assistance to victims in disaster zones. Reserves of financial and material resources should be created in advance in order to urgently attract the necessary funds in case of emergencies, fires and other disasters.It is necessary to simplify the procedures for preparing supporting documents for paying for state housing certificates, repairing and restoring housing, recognizing citizens as victims, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, private entrepreneurs and self-employed people who find themselves in disaster zones. All of the above will allow to increase the level of insurance protection of life, health and property of the population in the event of probable natural and man-made disasters, significantly reduce the costs of budgets of all levels for the prevention and elimination of probable disasters.Other forms and methods of economic support for measures in the field of population safety, prevention and elimination of crisis situations are also used.

The requirement of the time is the effective implementation of the state programs adopted by the Government of Ukraine in the field of protecting the population and territories from crisis situations. Within the framework of the programs, the state and regions should regulate and stimulate measures for the development of the system of economic security of the population in the future, develop and implement long-term measures to increase its efficiency, taking into account work experience.
