CRISIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Abstract

The new legislation on crisis management in the Czech Republic established the foundation for the formation of an integrated model of crisis management. A group of experts made a priority list and classification of 23 types of crisis that can appear in the Czech Republic. On all administrative levels, from state to municipal, over 7,000 institutions for crisis management are involved with these types. In addition to existing institutions, they include various security councils and crisis staffs that were primarily set up for crisis management. The general principal holds true that an attempt is made to manage preparations for crises, and coordination and operational solution of crises on the administrative level on which they could appear or on which they actually appear.
