CIVIL PROTECTION - COMPONENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY. THE NECESITY TO PREVENT AND COUNTER THE SURPRISE IN CASE OF SPECIAL EVENTS

Summary/Abstract: The process of globalization strongly influences the current international situation. The security environment is characterized by big scale phenomena such as international terrorism structured in cross-border networks, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, regional conflicts, transnational organized crime, natural and technological disasters, ineffective governance. Present days threats to the state are non-military in nature. Major climatic changes that occur at a global level have the effect of increasing the frequency and the magnitude of extreme weather events. Protection and assistance in natural and technological disasters represent a fundamental human right. Civil protection is a form to ensure national security. The primary mission of civil protection is to protect citizens, goods, patrimony and the environment against natural disasters and / or military actions in peacetime, crisis and war. Given the negative consequences that may result from emergency situations and the fact that they can not be prevented but can be managed, preventing and combating surprise in case of special events becomes necessary for all structures involved in such activities. To make effective use of the material, human and financial resources available to the state and of the cooperation with their counterparts in other countries, the National System for Emergency Situations Management (SNMSU) was created. It is an interagency structure that focuses on understanding the complexity, diversity, spatiality and potential risk factors that can generate emergency situations, in order to take measures to prevent their manifestation and reduce their destructive effects. The management in emergencies, the creation and use of a data base and preventing surprise are supported by the Management Information System for Emergency Situations. The efficiency of the activities performed during emergencies is improved by international cooperation with similar institutions of the European Union and other countries.
