The article highlights the importance of improving information and communication mechanisms for strategic risk management at the territorial community level amid social turbulence, external military threats, and growing internal systemic risks. It is argued that the effectiveness of strategic management in communities depends directly on local self-government bodies’ ability to ensure continuous data exchange, transparent coordination among management entities, prompt threat identification, and informed decision-making. At the same time, digitization of communication processes, along with its opportunities, creates new vulnerabilities related to cyber risks, disinformation, insufficient trust in official sources, fragmentation of digital infrastructure, and limited digital competencies among the population and local government personnel. The key threats to the functioning of information and communication mechanisms in the strategic risk management of local communities have been systematized, in particular: the fragmentation of information resources and the lack of an integrated data management system; the low quality, incompleteness, and untimeliness of information for strategic analysis; the vulnerability of IT infrastructure and the lack of cybersecurity policies; public mistrust and weak feedback channels; digital inequality as a barrier to participation; information attacks, manipulation, and the spread of fake news in a hybrid environment. It has been proven that ignoring these threats distorts the community’s risk profile, reduces crisis management capabilities, disrupts action, and increases social tension. Priority areas for improving information and communication risk management mechanisms have been identified: institutional consolidation of digital infrastructure and creation of a unified risk management platform with data integration and interagency interaction; formation of sustainable two-way communication channels with the population; improving the competencies of local government employees in the field of crisis communications and digital hygiene; regulatory standardization of digital interaction in risk conditions; development of inter-community communication alliances and integration of risk management into strategic planning.

Keywords: strategic management, risks, public administration, territorial communities, information and communication mechanisms, sustainable development, mechanisms, digitalization, local self-government bodies, communication.
