The Impact of Climate Change on the Requirements for Disaster Management Technical Capabilities, with Particular Regard to Technical Innovations

Climate change is causing extreme weather events such as torrential rains, heat waves, droughts, storms, and floods to become more frequent and intense worldwide. These phenomena pose significant challenges for disaster management, not only during intervention phases but also during preparation, prevention, and consequence management periods. Effective defense and rapid response require appropriate technical capabilities, including the development of infrastructure, equipment systems, information technology, and technical knowledge of human resources. This study aims to demonstrate how climate change is transforming the system of disaster management technical capabilities and what technical and strategic developments are necessary to manage future risks. The integration of technical innovations – such as automated monitoring systems, drone-based data collection, modular equipment parks, and energy-independent mobile devices – is becoming an essential condition for disaster management to respond effectively to complex emergencies related to climate change. The study seeks to answer how domestic disaster management technical capabilities can be expanded and developed to effectively adapt to the climate challenges of the 21st century.
