The authors present a method of assessing the risk of nature management and its mapping in the Russian Federation constituent entities and those of the Siberian Federal District. The assessments were carried out for a comprehensive analysis of the Russian Federation Districts as a single administrative-territorial entity according to their own established factors of environmentally dangerous processes and the parameters of protection against natural disasters. The risk of nature management equally depends on both the type of the danger and the protection against natural disasters, in other words – on both the natural and socio-economic situation in the Russian Federation Districts. In many cases, the indicator of protection against natural disasters plays even a leading part, since its assessment includes current socio-economic characteristics that determine the real ability of management structures to predict and deal with the consequences of natural disasters, as well as psychological indicators, i.e. the will and sequence of the managers’ actions in making specific resolutions on environmental management under risky conditions.
