Comparison of Crisis Management Systems in Poland and Slovakia

Abstract

Natural disasters have a specific position in terms of threats to the life and health of citizens, the environment, and the property of municipalities in individual regions. Their negative consequences can affect a lot of people and disrupt the routine processes on a large area. Natural disasters mostly have negative effects on people, material values and nature. In the case of large-scale natural disasters, the functioning and stability of state systems may be compromised and impaired, including those in Poland and Slovakia.
