Summary/Abstract: Introduction: The need to ensure the safety of the citizen and the safety of the community is guaranteed by the Department of Health through the provision of health care, the scope and quality of which, during extraordinary events, is conditioned by a comprehensive set of knowledge, skills and abilities of medical personnel of all levels (strategic management — operational — tactical), high-quality and efficiently functioning logistics base, the seamless exchange of current and necessary information within the information system for crisis situations in the healthcare sector and the possibilities of security research in the field of population approaches to health during extraordinary events. Core of work: Ensuring tasks at the level of the global geopolitical situation, including the consequences of climate change, requires rigorous training of health professionals at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the field of disaster medicine and the basics of crisis management. In the absence of any of the elements, the overall response of the state’s health system to save the life and health of individual citizens and population groups during emergency events may be weakened. Conclusion: Experience shows that students of all disciplines come to medical faculties with minimal information about disaster issues, or with significantly modified information from social networks.
