Zusammenfassung
Crisis planning is an important task of every government. Its main function is to protect human lives, properties and environment. Contemporary information and communication technologies are capable to bring this task to more advanced level, reflecting the new threat situation, including the possible terrorist attacks.
The effective use of IT is capable to support the virtual cooperation of the geographically separated managers, specialists, commanders, resources owners or endangered objects to quickly and properly react to the evolving crisis situation, to build the awareness and manage the active response. There is a possibility to maintain this virtual collaborative network to increase the preparedness – to develop a “live” crisis plan. There has been a successful attempt to establish such an environment based on the information system EMOFF, together with other information systems in the South Moravian territory. The regional government and cities are interconnected and capable to build the crisis plan together, with day-by-day increments and which makes possible to have a common situation picture in case of a crisis situation.
The description of such an approach is explained, together with the additional features and future development possibilities, including the link to the EU IST FP6 project MEDSI (contract IST- 506991).
