Over the past 40 years, the damage caused by natural disasters in the world has increased 9 times, and
their frequency 5 times, while the growth rate of economic damage from natural disasters exceeds the growth rate of
industrial production. Disasters that have occurred in recent years are characterized by a large number of people who
died at the same time. In this regard, the decisions of the United Nations, other international organizations and the
law of the Republic of Kazakhstan emphasize that governments, international organizations and scientific institutions
should be included in the fight against disasters, where Kazakhstan is no exception to the global patterns of
emergencies and their negative impact on the social sphere and the environment. Over the past hundred years,
destructive and catastrophic earthquakes have occurred in the seismically active territories of Kazakhstan, such as
Vernensky (1887), Chilik (1889), Keminsky (1911), the latter, two of which are the strongest in the continental part
of Eurasia for the whole history of observations. The occurrence of such seismic catastrophes in the future is very
likely and is a consequence of the previous stages of the geological development of the region and its current
geodynamic position. All this indicates the need to study the manifestations of geodynamic processes, identify
precursors of seismic activity.
