CRISIS MANAGEMENT PLANS IN CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY HAZARDS

Abstract

The objective of the conducted research was to assess the value of crisis management plans in thecontext of real threats. The primary goal was to determine whether these plans contained (contain)procedures and guidelines that could be employed in the presence of occurring hazards. The workinvolved theoretical research methods, such as review of source literature, legal acts and currentlybinding crisis management plans, as well as synthesis, generalization and inference. A diagnosticsurvey method primarily based on the surveying and expert interview technique was employedwith regard to empirical studies.Based on the completed study, the author concludes that crisis management plans: essentially contain thematically appropriate descriptions and procedures that can be useddirectly or after modification in the face of materializing threats, constitute a valuable source of information on correct behaviour in emergency situations.Furthermore, it should be noted that there are often problems in the area of drafting and practicaluse of crisis management plans.s
