The moral side of the emergencies’ perception is poorly researched, although undoubtedly it has an important impact on assessing the situation and the process of its mastering. Moral consciousness is being formed under life experience impact and forms up each person’s own system of values and beliefs. Although most moral norms and principles are common to all society, each person interprets them in a way that is convenient and understandable to him or her. This explains the fact that each person’s moral consciousness as a behavior regulator manifests itself differently. From this point of view, the study of moral consciousness in emergencies is an urgent scientific task.
The article aims to present the theoretical analysis findings of scientific heritage on studying moral consciousness and psychological preparedness of personality as interrelated components influencing the behavior of the individual in emergencies.

Moral consciousness as a behavior regulator is considered within the theory of moral foundations, which is a new research area in Ukrainian science.
