The article is devoted to identifying current trends and prospects for the development of legislation of the Russian Federation on environmental emergencies in the context of changing and exponentially increasing environmental, industrial and biological threats and risks. Based on the results of the analysis of the current legislation, the conclusion is proved, according to which there is currently no appropriate regulatory and methodological framework that allows you to quickly take into account, identify and classify all possible signs and conditions for attributing certain threats and risks to an emergency of a natural, man-made, and, in particular, biological nature, in particular, in the case of epidemics.
