The two subsystems in the state defense system that make up the civil defense system and the crisis management system have specific tasks to fulfill. The two organizational structures, guided by their systemic approach, remain independent of each other, even though they share the same decision-making bodies, executive or executive bodies, subsidiary bodies, and executive entities. Inappropriate perception of them – even by decision-makers – leads to organizational irregularities, a lack of understanding of the responsibilities of the bodies and actors of these systems. It is also a source of misregulation in this area. A systemic perspective may require an appropriate approach and the development of new solutions to improve the process of activity in this area.
