Summary/Abstract: The changing conditions of the functioning of a country(ies) generate many complex threats that hinder and sometimes prevent the performance of basic tasks by individuals, social groups, a nation and a state. The scale and dynamics of occurring threats very often surprise both rulers and societies. In order to avoid a critical situation, eligible civil and military entities must continuously secure their information needs. It is essential to appreciate the importance of information, to be able to use it to prevent or minimize the consequences of a critical situation. This means the need to build the information system of the state, as well as subsystems at every level of its management, which are the basis for the decision-making process. Setting and evaluating tasks, the skillful use of information resources in the state crisis management process, all allow for its save functioning in both internal and international environment.
