Abstract. The paper proposes an approach to managing technogenic and environmental safety in territories affected by hostilities and damaged critical infrastructure. The study is based on an analysis of the dynamics of emergency processes that cause rapid changes in damage conditions, secondary destruction, and limited response capabilities. It is established that the time parameters of accident detection, decision-making, and the initiation of active response actions directly affect the effectiveness of situation stabilization. A reduction in the available time reserve requires the use of autonomous and adaptive monitoring and response systems. The paper considers a developed model with a two-level structure. The first level describes the development of hazardous processes in the environment and includes the following sequence: formation of an emission source, transport of substances in the air, soil, and water environments, manifestation of environmental risk, and determination of its degree. The second level of the model structure implements the task of optimal management in accordance with the formed information basis obtained from unmanned aerial vehicle data and technical measurements. This approach ensures the localization of hazards and the timely minimization of accident consequences through the selection of optimal control actions. To assess the risk of uncontrolled pollution spread within the model, critical time moments that determine the effectiveness of management decisions and the remaining response time are introduced. The influence of military actions on the time parameters of processes leading to the development of hazardous situations, restricted personnel access, and resource degradation is taken into account. In accordance with the obtained information basis, autonomous digital decision-support platforms are formed. The proposed approach makes it possible to forecast the development of accidents, coordinate response actions, and assess consequences as an integral effect of environmental impact, thereby reducing the risk of critical hazards under martial law conditions.
Key words: hazard sources, emergency situation, risk reduction measures, management system, pollution, hazardous substances, risk.
