Resolution No. 370 of the Council of Ministers “On approval of the Rules for protecting the population and territories from emergency situations, as well as ensuring the protection of citizens.

This Resolution implements recent presidential reforms aimed at strengthening emergency preparedness, civil protection, and state supervision in the field of natural and technological disasters. It establishes a comprehensive legal framework defining responsibilities, preventive measures, emergency response procedures, public notification systems, civil defense structures, and oversight mechanisms.
The rules impose detailed obligations on national and local government bodies, self-governing community organizations, enterprises, educational and medical institutions, operators of hazardous facilities, and places with large public gatherings. Organizations must prepare emergency plans, evacuation procedures, notification systems, training programs, and civil protection structures, while maintaining protective equipment and emergency resources. Special provisions regulate hazardous industrial facilities, rescue services, hydrometeorological and geological risks, radiation and chemical safety, public awareness campaigns, and the training of officials, employees, students, and the general population in emergency preparedness and response.
The document also establishes requirements for automated emergency warning systems, seismic safety, evacuation planning, rescue operations, and emergency actions during disasters. Citizens are required to follow safety regulations, learn basic emergency response and first aid, report emergencies, and assist in evacuation and rescue efforts when necessary. The resolution further updates inspection procedures, and strengthens the role of emergency management authorities in monitoring compliance with the new requirements.
