the fact that a single duty and dispatch service, but in simple SDDS, a lot of criticism. The most notorious case is the recent oil spill in Norilsk. After brief proceedings, the head EMERCOM of Russia Evgeny Senichev complained about the job of supervisors to the President. These same charges later in the day repeated and the head of the government of Krasnoyarsk region Mikhail Lozhkin, supposedly it is on EDDS are responsible for late notification about the accident.
Dispatchers, switchmen did not want to be, but denials from them was not followed. But many, including in the MOE, knew that the work of unified dispatch service deteriorated since then, as it joined a new system of emergency calls 112. While the deployment of allocated Federal money, all went well, but as funding began to be cut back, started crashing. Because the load on the system is huge, and in fact it is not completed yet.
And here we must bear in mind that now in Russia there are about 2.5 thousand single duty dispatching services. In fact – this is the “brain” of Russian cities and municipalities and at the same time the Central link in the system of operational dispatch management in emergency situations. That is, to overestimate the significance of the work of EDDS impossible. But services are not MOE, and municipalities, many of which, as you know, poor. But it is here around the clock reports from organizations and the public about all incidents in the municipality.
however, the “status” EDDS is still not enshrined in law, and hence money filling provide these services.
the proposals to reform the work of dispatchers there are also a lot of technical issues in the proposed new state standard of such services. But basically everything comes down to money. “The amended standard will primarily contribute to the improvement of the status of the service. Now EDDS create bodies on a regular or even emergency basis” – such comment was given by the head of the Institute of civil defense Sergey Didenko.
