The issues of planning the medical support of forces involved in the elimination of the consequences of disasters and the affected population were studied, data were generalized, and proposals were developed for improving the organization of civil-military interaction in emergency situations. In the course of the study, the information on the interaction of the armed forces of the Algerian People›s Democratic Republic and civilian structures during the liquidation of the consequences of the flood in the Mzab municipality was studied, analyzed and generalized. In addition, the main problematic issues in the planning of medical support for the forces involved in the liquidation of the consequences of the flood and the affected population were revealed, which should be paid special attention to when deciding on the organization of civil-military interaction and preparing the medical service for the mission. As a result of the research work, it can be concluded that the experience of civil- military interaction during the flood in Gardai in 2008 was extremely successful, both in terms of organization and the effectiveness of both sides.
