Trunov, I.L., Aivar, L.K. Protection of people and territories from the environmental emergency situations.

Abstract: In late years Russia was often shaken by the horrible environmental tragedies, which took lives of innocent people, who just were not warned about the dangers due to the irresponsibility of authorities. What are the people's rights for adequate protection from environmental emergencies and what are the rights and obligations of the government bodies in this sphere? What is the role of scientific studies in prevention of such tragedies? These issues are studied by the authors, who use the example of the Karmadon glacier tragedy.
