The article considers a number of characteristic features of the mutual connection between dangerous natural phenomena and their catastrophic consequences on the disaster policy-making. A revision of existing studies on this topic is being conducted. It is argued, that disaster politics in the South of Russia is almost completely ignorant, situation-based and does not lead to significant changes in the field of early disaster awareness strategy. A number of several characteristic features of the region are outlined directly affecting the disaster policymaking. Based on the data of the SSC RAS expeditionary work, a number of the most destructive hydrometeorological phenomena in the South of Russia (2012-2018) is identified. The case of the flood crisis in Krymsk 2012 is considered. It should be concluded that the flood crisis of 2012 did not lead to the long-term disaster policy strategy for implementation regular preventive measures.
