Analysis of Imperfections in Risk Assessment in the Polish Crisis Management System

Summary/Abstract: Risk assessment in the crisis management system plays a crucial role in identifying and minimizing threats to national security. The risk assessment process is influenced by several different elements, which include legislation, organizational structures, and threats to the state’s functioning. This article aims to assess the methodology for determining risk for the needs of the crisis management system in Poland. Based on the results, original solutions in this area were presented. The main conclusion is that, despite the establishment of the Government Centre for Security, which was a breakthrough in terms of building an effective and comprehensive crisis management system and the fact that the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management is in force in Poland, there is a need to broaden the concept of risk and improve risk assessment methods in crisis management so that national security is at the highest possible level.
