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.
