´´ As a manifestation of the disruption of environmental balance on the planetary scale, climate change and global warming are related to processes that can cause natural disasters (rivers bursting their banks, flooding of entire villages and cities, precipitation much higher than the norm, avalanches, etc.). All these are factors that directly affect the economic and social life of the country and need to be taken into account in the process of preparing necessary policy measures. The experience of recent years shows that in order to effectively fight natural disasters and their consequences, the state should prioritize relevant activities in emergencies and the establishment of rapid reaction mechanisms for the social security of the population in such situations. At the same time, while drafting and implementing infrastructure projects in regions of the country, the high likelihood of natural disasters should be taken into account, and relevant requirements should be considered while designing and building infrastructure facilities of vital importance to ensure that they keep their functionality as required.´´
