On March 6, 2026, the President of Ukraine signed Law #4778-IX “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts regarding Prevention of Emergencies and Elimination of Their Consequences, Formation of a Civil Protection Protective Structures Fund, and Establishment of Safety Classes and Centers” (the Law).
The Law clarifies the powers of state authorities and local self-government bodies in the areas of civil protection and urban planning.
This is an important step toward enhancing the safety of citizens, strengthening the resilience of communities, and developing a modern system for responding to wartime and technological challenges.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine is grateful to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management for the cooperation and for taking into account the position of the business community.
