In the article, VR technologies are considered as a tool for organizing practice-oriented teaching of children and adults to the basics of life safety and actions in emergency situations. An overview of foreign practice of using VR in safety pedagogy and in the implementation of the Digital Rescuer project in Russian schools is presented. The advantages of VR technologies in comparison with the traditional approach in organizing practical training of the population on safety measures are characterized. A conclusion is made about the prospects of using VR technologies in the practical preventive activities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and the educational process on the basics of life safety.
