Summary/Abstract: The topic’s urgency is due to the need to improve the mechanisms of information security of fire safety in terms of management of a unified state system of civil protection, the need to give priority to the processes of informatization of management in ensuring civil protection of Ukraine. The Constitution of Ukraine recognizes man, his life and health, honour and dignity, inviolability and security as the highest social value. The establishment and protection of human rights and freedoms is the main duty of the state. In view of this, one of the priorities of state policy is to protect the population from fires and ensure appropriate fire safety measures. Information activities are considered as a necessary component of the organization of public administration in the field of civil protection and the work of management and specialists, the implementation of tasks directly related to the regulation of security processes. The focus on the issues of information support of civil protection, in particular fire safety, is determined by the fact that in modern conditions the need to strengthen the effectiveness of state control measures in this area is of particular importance. The main approaches to solving the problems of improving the management of the unified state system of civil protection, its information and legal support are outlined. It is emphasized that the regulation of the social sphere is one of the main functions of the state. In the social sphere of the state, civil protection has such functions as political and legal. Emphasis is placed on the use of positive experience of European countries, which have implemented preventive measures based on a risk-oriented approach that is directly related to information security of fire safety. The need to improve the information and legal support of the processes of implementation of strategic objectives of protection of national interests of Ukraine in the field of civil protection is taken into account. It is emphasized that in modern conditions the implementation of an effective information policy during emergencies of man-made, social and natural nature is of particular importance. It is recognized that it is impossible to ignore threats in the field of national security of Ukraine, the need to monitor emergencies, which due to the causes and scale of spread are not limited to the borders of one state. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of information response of Ukraine to emergencies of this scale, as well as the fact that the mechanism of crisis response and management should be supported by various institutional and procedural mechanisms within unified information system, Crisis Platform, which may be activated during threats, and provide an immediate response to them. Fire safety information is related to the problem of timely response to threats arising from crises (civil and military) outside it.
