AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING FIREFIGHTING COSTS

The article addresses the issue of inefficient financial accounting of firefighting costs within the units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES), which has become increasingly critical under martial law and due to the growing number of fires caused by warfare, climate change, and technogenic factors. It has been established that manual cost calculation methods lead to errors, delays, complications in reporting, auditing, and centralized analysis. Given the national agenda for digital transformation of public institutions, the authors substantiate the necessity of creating an automated system that complies with the normative requirements of the Firefighting Cost Calculation Methodology approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs Order No. 55 dated January 31, 2024. The study presents a developed database structure that enables storage and processing of data related to fires, firefighting equipment, and personnel. Implemented modules include user authentication, equipment tracking, SES response unit structure, and territorial classification via KATOTTG. A cost calculation algorithm is proposed, covering event identification, computation of costs related to equipment, personnel, logistics, and the generation of automated reports. Particular attention is given to innovative components such as digital document management, dashboards, data visualization, and systematization. The proposed system significantly enhances calculation accuracy and processing speed, reduces human error, ensures transparency in resource usage, and contributes to building a unified information environment for effective fire safety management in Ukraine.Keywords: fire, firefighting, consequences, expenses, digitalization, calculation, automated system, methodology.
