Summary/Abstract: Unique material concerning inhibitors (blocking elements, deceleration ele-ments) in communication systems in case of happening crisis situation is presented in the article. The presented results were obtained within the framework of the project FREESIC (Free Secure Interoperable Communication). The aim of the research was to develop a communication platform dedicated to the area of crisis management, with particular emphasis on the response phase. Research methodology is based on a holistic approach, relatively rarely used in the design of communication systems for crisis management. The research was carried out on two groups of stakeholders. The first group consisted of end-users, while the second group consisted of experts in the field of communications. The results of research carried out in the framework of the project FREESIC indicate both satiety and information deficit, especially in the response phase. They confirmed the diagnosis of all consortium members involved in the project (9 bodies from 6 European countries). This situation requires immediate corrective action, because due to deficiencies in the sphere of communication are not being produced new threats to human life and health. It is also important that decisions taken in crisis management have a minimal level of risk. The principal recommendations arising from the research carried out in the framework of an international consortium clearly show that already at the design stage, a greater range of non-technical barriers should be taken into account.
