The government of Uzbekistan has officially approved a regulation establishing the procedure for assessing and compensating for damages inflicted on the population as a result of man-made or technogenic emergencies. This regulatory framework aims to streamline financial relief efforts and establish accountability protocols across regions.

According to the adopted provisions, dedicated Compensation Funds are set to be established under the administration of every district and city municipality throughout the republic. The exact scale of compensation will be determined by a specialized commission in mandatory coordination with territorial economic and financial departments. v

The guidelines outline specific tiers for one-time financial assistance granted to affected citizens depending on the severity of the incident's impact. Notably, family members of individuals who tragically lost their lives in an emergency—including spouses, children, parents, and dependents—are eligible for up to 500 base calculation units, roughly equivalent to 220 million soms, distributed equally among eligible claimants.

Furthermore, financial relief is stipulated for citizens sustaining various physical injuries. Individuals who allegedly or officially suffered severe bodily harm can receive up to 200 base calculation units (88 million soms), moderate injuries warrant up to 150 units (66 million soms), and minor injuries qualify for up to 100 units (44 million soms).

Crucially, the monetary funds for these compensation payouts will not originate from general public coffers, but rather will be exacted from the legal entities or specific officials whose liability and fault in triggering the technogenic emergency are legally established.
