Abstract
The consideration is given to the evaluating natural hazards in Ukraine. Ukraine is affected by natural hazards, such as flooding, landslides, debris flows, seismic effects, soil erosion which can cause significant human, environmental, economic, and infrastructure damage. The goal of the proposed methodology is to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk through the implementation of different measures that prevent and reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability. It includes two approaches. The first approach is based on a comprehensive analysis of the factors of formation of geohazards using statistical methods, GIS analysis and cartographic modeling. The second approach assumes field work, monitoring and numerical modeling of processes with the aim of local prediction of geohazards. The proposed methodology is highly effective, as it is the basis for ensuring the effective and safe operation of natural and man-made systems, reducing financial risks and determining a rational set of preventive measures without additional expensive specialized studies.
