[edit] Brief overview
The current ministry was created in 1996 upon the merging the ministry of Ukraine in protection of population from the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe and the headquarters of the state civil defense which until then were two different establishments. Until 1991 the ministry of Ukraine in protection of population from the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe was a state committee of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukrainian SSR, while the state civil defense was part of the bigger All-Union civil defense network in the Soviet Union. Until the administration reform on December 9 2010 it was called as Ministry of Ukraine in emergencies and affairs in protection of population from the consequences of the Chornobyl catastrophe. After the reform three major bodies of central executive power were directly subordinated to it:
- State service of mining supervision and industrial safety of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Державна служба гірничого нагляду та промислової безпеки України)
- State agency of Ukraine in administration of the zone of alienation (Ukrainian: Державне агентство України з управління зоною відчуження)
- State inspection of techogenic safety of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Державна інспекція техногенної безпеки України)
- Other agencies
- State department of fire-prevention security (see Firefighting)
- State search and rescue aviation service Ukraviaposhuk
- State hydro-meteorological service
- State department of the insurance documentation fund of the Ministry
