Other Central Administrative Authorities in the Crisis Management System

Abstract

Other central administrative authorities are part of the crisis management authorities with national competence in the Czech Republic and are subjects of the state security system. Their activities are focused on specialized sections of the state administration, and they have a certain degree of independence, which is why in some cases they are not associated with tasks and activities in the field of crisis management. Other central administrative authorities must also fulfil the requirements of normative legal acts and be able to respond to differentiated risks. Against this background, the article examines the extent to which the requirements of the Crisis Management Act are being fulfilled. Using an analysis of interviews and written inquiries with their representatives, a comparison and evaluation of their involvement in crisis management is made. The results show that the requirements of the Crisis Management Act are fulfilled in each of the other central administrative authorities. However, their level of details is differentiated depending on the scope of their
activities.
