Abstract
Losses of life from natural or anthropogenic disasters are a confirmation of a country's readiness to deal with unpredictable threats that affect socio-economic and security stability of the state.
Macedonia faces a series of weaknesses in the disaster management system. It is especially important to emphasize the influence of party policies in setting up non-professional staff in key positions, requiring skills and abilities to deal with emergencies. Unplanned urbanization, air pollution, victims from floods, a large number victims of road accidents, problems with hazardous waste, epidemics, epizootics, etc. are the many collected unresolved issues affecting the quality of life in the country.
Prevention and preparedness are key phases of disaster management, which are perceived as disaster risk management with a multi-sectoral approach. Each Government up to now, was not adequate dedicate to this burning issue, not taking into account that only an one larger-scale incident, if it has a negative outcome, leaves a negative stamp in the memory of the citizens, in spite of the losses, increasing the psychological aspect of a hopeless situation from bureaucratic policies.
The role of the European Union and the harmonization of legislation are of key importance. But the improvement of the disaster management system and understanding the importance of continuous funding in education, training, debates, workshops, etc. with the involvement of scientific institutions and the business community. Support from international organizations and partner countries is particularly precious in times when the state faces with various political and economic instability.
Different aspects influence the changing perception of the Government in the approach to the mentioned issues in order to make the right decision.
Keywords: unplanned urbanization, air pollution, hazardous waste, epidemics, epizootics, DRR – Disaster Risk Reduction
