PROBLEMS OF ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUEFIED HYDROCARBON GASES IN THE PERMAFROST REGIONS OF THE ARCTIC

In the article on the basis of the analysis of the causes of possible accidents at the objects of liquefied hydrocarbon gases storage and vehicles transporting liquefied hydrocarbon gases taking into account the climatic conditions of the Arctic regions with permafrost the problems of ensuring the safety of the population during the storage and transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gases in the Arctic regions with permafrost are revealed. The climatic conditions of Yakutsk, one of such regions, are given as an example, which under the current conditions of global warming may cause damage to buildings, roads, storages, gas filling stations and liquefied hydrocarbon gases transportation. Examples of possible scales of damage and destruction of buildings at depressurization and destruction of tanks with liquefied hydrocarbon gases are given. The ways of improvement of measures and organization of liquefied hydrocarbon gases transportation are offered taking into account climatic conditions of Arctic regions with permafrost and modern realities of terrorist acts with the use of kamikaze drones.
