Crisis management is a form of management in incident handling, when non-
standard methods are employed, and in declared states of emergency, when
related legislation is also applied. It is concentrated on man, the natural and
the artificial environment and on aspects connected with elements, relations
and flows in a system created like that. Its aim is to ensure the sustainable
development of human society, including basic functions of the state and the
administration in crisis situations. This is a matter of state administration
and self-administration on all levels, private companies, governmental and
humanitarian organisations and also of all citizens. It is a case of the
process the goal of which is to keep the behaviour of the system within
acceptable limits, within which desirable goals are realized and undesirable
manifestations are suppressed. The study of crisis management consists of
diagnosing possible emergency situations, planning preventive measures and
measures to mitigate incidents, ensuring preparedness to the handling of
mentioned events, ensuring response to them, the initial state for the
restoration of affected areas and triggering their next development. It uses
the following tools: risk analysis and management, management, emergency,
crisis and civil emergency planning. Moreover, the area of crisis economics and
logistics is fundamental.
