The paper presents the results of a study of the structure of threats to national security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the field of protecting the population, territories and water areas from emergencies of various types. Currently, Russia's significant security and sustainable development needs are concentrated in the North, so the Arctic zone objectively represents a zone of national interests of the Russian Federation. Along with this, there is an active change in the social, economic, and physical-geographical conditions in this region. The presence of minerals on the continental shelf and islands of Russia, as well as the possibility of year-round use of the Northern Sea Route, has significantly changed the vector of geopolitical views of the Arctic neighboring states. The hypothetical possibility of conflict against the background of the aggravated contradictions of the modern world forces us to consider various options for the occurrence of man-made and natural emergencies.
