The contribution deals with a class of intelligent decentralized systems that meet the agent paradigm. Such systems are marked by the possibility of arising critical situations, interpreted here as the threat of loss (partial or complete) of the system functionality. The work is focused on designing an overall architecture of the (sub-)system dedicated to the discovery of crises and support of anti-crisis activities. The architecture is proposed as a reference one so as it is possible to adjust it to the specificity of any particular application. As an illustration the case of a transportation system is discussed.

The European Union is an international organization with a global reach, involved in world politics and the creation of order and security, fighting for respect for democratic principles and human rights. From the date of its formal establishment it has undergone many changes, including defence, becoming over time an active player in the global security scene. An important point on the way to the conducting of foreign operations by the European Union was the signing of the Petersburg Declaration, the signatories of which were the Member States of the Western European Union, founded in 1954 and which was marginalized in favour of NATO for almost 40 years.A very important tool for strengthening the political role is to engage in conducting crisis management operations, which in the case of the European Union may take one of two forms: civilian missions or military operations. Since the inception of the Common Security and Defence Policy up to the beginning of 2012, the European Union conducted 23 civilian and military operations. If you consider that the first of them – the police mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was launched in January 2003, the number of EU projects in the eight years can be regarded as significant. The analysis shows that efforts have so far been focused on conducting civilian missions and that they will be the basic form of the European Union crisis management operations in the future.In this article the author describes the main steps in setting up the Common Security and Defence Policy, provides the reader with a descriptive process of integrated planning and crisis management, considering the nature and various aspects of civilian crisis management missions.

Paper topographic maps now substituted by electronic databases containing attributes of topographic objects are absolutely necessary for any activities in emergency situations. In the case of floods, fires, epidemics, hurricanes and other disasters real rescue chances for many people depend on availability of spatial data by crisis management units. Such data should be kept up to date, reliable and precise. Having acceptance of the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography, regional authorities of the Silesian Voivodeship have implemented the plan-schedule covering activities aimed at achieving in as short terms as possible an effective electronic database containing attributes of topographic objects for the crisis management system. Now almost all raster-based topographic maps and photomaps of the Silesian Voivodeship dating from 1995/97 and 2003 are available for emergency services. The works to make the maps available online are continued. The topographic database will be available to Regional State Police, State Fire Fighting Brigade, Silesian Voivodeship Administration (in particular for its Crisis Management Division).

Skomplikowana natura kryzysu prowadzi do dużych trudności w planowaniu działań zapobiegawczych. Niezliczona ilość możliwych scenariuszy praktycznie uniemożliwia zaadaptowanie lub wdrożenie uniwersalnej strategii planowania. Istotna staje się zatem identyfikacja zagrożenia i wdrożenie adekwatnego procesu zarządzania antykryzysowego.

The article deals with problems connected to crisis management regarding mining companies. In accordance with adequate decrees, mining companies, including mining plants, belong to objects towards which crisis management rules should be applied. In mining plants, apart from underground threats, ground threats that lead to a crisis situation might also emerge on the entrepreneur’s territory. By this reason, they should be guided by the principles for the preparation for their special protection through conceptual, planning, organizational, logistic, technical, training and control activities taken to develop, agree and update specific protection plans, implement projects under the alert and notification system, and exchange information on threats. A summary of possible hazards to a particular site and a separate mining plant facility, assessment and risk control are essential to develop a safety concept and prevent risks. There is a need of continual analyses of potential threats and actions taken to eliminate them, and if they occur the rapid response of individual services and appropriate integrated rescue operations.
The detachments of Territorial Defence Force (TDF, Polish: Wojska Obrony Terytorialnej) are an important element in the new structure of the Polish Army. The article presents the challenges the Territorial Defence Force, a new branch of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, are currently facing. The author discusses the origin of TDF as well as the basic normative and legal documents that specify the role and tasks of TDF in the national security system. The principles of recruitment to TDF, the basic criteria laid down for candidates for service and a timeline of TDF development in 2016–2019 are described. Particular attention is paid to the cooperation between TDF and operational forces in case of an armed conflict, which poses a serious challenge to the new type of armed forces. Additionally, research suggests that the range of tasks assigned to TDF indicates their significant role within the crisis management system. This requires the TDF command to work closely with public administration and to gain trust and esteem in local communities in the regions of their operation.
This work explores ecological and climate-related threats to Afghanistan and discusses support approaches from a European Crisis Management (ECM) perspective. It goes beyond the much-debated troop withdrawal, COVID-19 crisis and peace negotiations and opens an underestimated topic: ‘Climate Change Assistance’. The article aims to advance knowledge on the effects of climate change on human security in Afghanistan and advocates a conflict-sensitive approach. To this end, a climate-related assessment of the human security situation was undertaken and several threat scenarios, options and solutions for enhancing state resilience were developed. The bases for this research were several field trips undertaken by the author since 2004, workshops and an extensive literature review. As a result, it can be stated that the negative impacts of climate change and pollution on Afghanistan’s security and development architecture are massive and make ECM efforts very complex. However, several capacity-building initiatives for military, diplomatic, humanitarian and local stakeholders were identified. On the regional level, this includes the support for early warning systems and hydro-diplomacy with Pakistan, Iran and India. On the local level, the support for community water management and environmental protection matters, while building upon traditional Afghan mechanisms for handling water crises or disasters. Another outcome is the need for more in-depth research in this field as some findings are also useful for other fragile states. The paper argues that there is an urgent need for ECM to respond to the devastating effects of climate change in Afghanistan and identifies several smart opportunities to tackle some root causes of the conflict.
Niniejszy artykuł nie oferuje kompleksowego rozwiązania problemu oceny procesu zarządzania kryzysowego w kontekście zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa publicznego, ani nie prezentuje całościowej metodyki postępowania w tym względzie, a jest jedynie próbą wywołania dyskusji, w jaki sposób podchodzić do problemu oceny procesu zarządzania kryzysowego w kontekście zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa publicznego. Umiejętność dokonania oceny jest bowiem warunkiem doskonalenia rozwiązań w omawianym zakresie, a te – jak pokazały doświadczenia ostatniej powodzi w Polsce – są wciąż jeszcze niedoskonałe. Należy przy tym podkreślić, że każdorazowo odnoszono się do działań (funkcji) kierowniczych, mających na celu radzenie sobie z sytuacjami kryzysowymi wywołanymi przez zagrożenia o charakterze niemilitarnym. W artykule sprecyzowano pojęcie zarządzania kryzysowego i przedstawiono poszczególne fazy procesu zarządzania kryzysowego. Omówiono krótko kształt współczesnego modelu systemu zarządzania kryzysowego w Polsce, wskazując poszczególne szczeble zarządzania w strukturze tego systemu. Przedstawiono problem oceny procesu zarządzania kryzysowego jako zagadnienie wielokryterialne. W tym kontekście przedyskutowano możliwe kryteria i wymiary jego oceny. Zaproponowano sposób postępowania zmierzający do uzyskania syntetycznej oceny procesu zarządzania kryzysowego i wskazano na możliwość tworzenia rozwiązań alternatywnych. Zaakcentowano takSe niektóre problemy dokonywania oceny procesu zarządzania kryzysowego.

Neither does this paper offer a complex solution to the problem of assessing the crisis management process in the context of ensuring public safety, nor does it present the holistic procedure in this regard. It is only a contribution to the discussion on how to evaluate the crisis management process in the context of ensuring public safety. Being able to do this seems to be the main condition for its improvement, which – as the last instances of flood in Poland showed – is necessary. It seems to be stressed in the paper that the non-military treatment of public safety was taken into consideration. In particular, the notion of crisis management was specified and the phases of the crisis management process were described. The current model of crisis management in Poland was also briefly presented, indicating major management levels. The problem of evaluating the crisis management process was described as a multidimensional issue. In that context possible criteria and dimensions of its evaluation were discussed. A course of action aiming at achieving a synthetic assessment of the crisis management process was proposed and possibilities of creating other solutions were pointed out. Some problems of assessing the crisis management process in the context of ensuring public safety were emphasised as well.
This article describes issues connected with the crisis management, its essence and stages in relation to the crisis situation of the flood. There are four phases of crisis management prsented: prevence, preparation, reaction and reconsctruction in the context of the flood that happened in Poland in 1997 and its consequences.
