The problem of prevention and liquidation of emergency situations, including terrorist acts is investigated. The improvement of weapons and the professionalization of terrorist organizations make it difficult to determine the cause of natural and man-made emergencies. Therefore, the dominance in Russia of the territorial principle of functioning of the unified state system for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations meets the challenges of time less and less. The urgency of mechanisms of extraterritorial mobilization of forces and means of prevention and liquidation of emergency situations is proved. The existing system of prevention and liquidation of emergency situations of natural and man-made character is connected with the key role of the Ministry of emergency situations of Russia. At the same time, the military Department is in charge of responding to emergency situations determined by military threats. It is proposed to change this hierarchy, defining the leading role of the military Ministry.
