General presentation of the Austrian disaster management

Abstract

Natural and man-made disasters are present in our everyday life. Due to their process and intensity, certain segments of the defence system need to be developed by the countries in parallel with the development of technologies, as they are responsible for the safety of their citizens. It is necessary to examine the current tasks and development opportunities of the defence. According to the authors the examinations cannot be limited to the domestic research. International disaster management systems should also be examined and analysed for possible domestic adaptation and for the maximum development of the defence capacity.
