Summary/Abstract: For the health and lives of people in the danger zone, they correspond to the rescuers, mostly firefighters. Their chief mission is to master the threat in terms of qualified first aid and emergency medical evacuation of vulnerable people out of the dangerous area. Depending on qualifications, in the first place, there should be made activities in the field of qualified assistance in the airway patency and protection, as well as plugging external bleeding. In case of difficulty in defining the final range and a high degree of impact factor dangerous to assume that there is a threat to the lives of all affected. Due to the lack of a real possibility of the actual prioritized aid, the priority is to evacuate victims to a safe zone. According to the idea, the most important aspect of the fight against natural disasters is to minimize human and material losses. Currently implemented are warning systems and broad public education on the prevention and mitigation of disasters and behavior of their occurrence. The missing link in the chain of survival, which would improve the conduct of activities in the areas covered by largescale disaster, is to implement a monitoring system for the victims and rescue teams in the zone of influence.
