CERTAIN FUNDAMENTALS IN THE DRAFTING OF CRISIS DOCUMENTATION AND THE INFLUENCE OF CRISIS PLANNING ON THE OPERATIONS OF AN ORGANIZATION
There are a number of different definitions of a crisis plan. Act No. 240/200 Coll. on crisis management, for example, defines it as a “plan that contains a summary of crisis measures and processes for solving the crisis situation”. Another definition describes a crisis plan as being a collection of documents containing descriptions and analyses of threats and a summary of steps to be taken, which has been drafted to ascertain an organisations preparedness to deal with crisis situations. But, how should these documents look in real life? What should they contain? And who should draft the plan and for what purpose? He will try to open these questions in this paper using his experience of being a crisis manager at a central body of the state administration. He believes that the recommendations given in the paper will be useful irrespective of the sector or industry in which a given organization operates.
