"This book deals with how to measure innovation in crisis management drawing on data, case studies and lessons learned from different European countries. The aim of this book is to tackle innovation in crisis management through lessons learned and experiences gained from the implementation of mixed methods through a practitioner driven approach in a large-scale demonstration project (DRIVER+). It explores innovation from the perspective of the end-users by focusing on the needs and problems they are trying to address through a tool (be it an app, a drone, or a training program) and takes a deep dive into what is needed to understand if and to what extent the tool they have in mind can really bring innovation. This book is a toolkit for readers interested in understanding what needs to be in place to measure innovation: it provides the know-how through examples and best practices. The book will be a valuable source of knowledge for scientistis, practitioners, researchers as well as postgraduate students studying safety, crisis management and innovation"--

The aim of the article is to discuss the functioning of the crisis management system in Poland: to present the general principles of its operation, legal regulations and major threats related to it. For this purpose, the authors review the definitions of crisis situations and discuss the objectives and stages of crisis management. Then the general principles of the crisis management system in Poland and the most important legal regulations related to it are presented. The authors also discuss the main threats that may lead to a crisis, both natural, ecological (e.g. floods, fires, avalanches) and civilizational caused by human activity and technical failures (e.g. construction and transport disasters, criminal groups activity, cyberterrorism). This leads to the conclusion that regulations passed in Poland after the flood of the century in 1997 put crisis management system in our country on the high level. At the same time, newer and newer threats make it necessary to regularly update the legislation on crisis management so that ensuring of national security could be effective.

Sicherheit und Überleben der menschlichen Rasse hängt unmittelbar davon ab, wie mit den Nuklarwaffen von denen, die sie besitzen, umgegangen wird. Selbst wenn es zu einer nuklaren Abrüstung kommt (was unwahrscheinlich ist) oder wenn es neue Verteidigungssysteme gegen ballistische Flugkörper gibt, bleibt die nuklare Gefahr bestehen. Es kommt also darauf an, ein Krisenmenagement zu schaffen, das in einer nuklearen Krise wirksam ist. Dazu muß die politische Infrastruktur in den USA verbessert werden und durch ein wirkungsvolles command and control-System müssen die Verbindungen zwischen politischer und militärischer Ebene verstärkt werden. Das gilt auch für die Beziehungen zur UdSSR und für das Verhältnis zu den übrigen NATO-Partnern. (BIOst-BwD/Hie)
