Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present the anti-crisis and aid measures undertaken in Poland during the first hundred days after the aggression of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022. Design/methodology/approach: For the purpose of this paper, legal acts were analysed, literature was reviewed, representatives of organisations involved in refugee assistance, Polish and foreign volunteers, and officials responsible for conducting anti-crisis activities were interviewed. The result was a consolidation of various forms of activity in Poland that constituted an institutional and civic response to the war initiated by Russia's attack on Ukraine. Findings: A study of the activity of the local government unit in the face of the situation caused by Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine was carried out by analysing the actions taken in Zabrze in the period of one hundred days after the outbreak of war. Originality/value: The described activities - on the example of the local administration and the local community of Zabrze - confirmed that the emergency situation related to the war in Ukraine activated members of the local government community and mobilised them to directly participate in the implemented aid projects.
