This article is a joint effort of civil protection and humanitarian aid experts to compare and search for a common ground of the two relief and recovery mechanisms deployed to disasters. The hypothesis says that efficiency and close collaboration of civil protection and humanitarian aid is a key requirement to reduce the impact of major disasters on developing countries and affected populations. As a case study tropical cyclones, Idai and Kenneth that hit Mozambique in 2019 have been chosen. Strategic and operational documents, lessons learnt reports, statistics, appeals, donor response decryptions, semi-formal interviews with delegates to Mozambique, personal experiences and findings have been used. Starting from the situation analysis the authors presented needs assessment tools and different assets mobilized to the operation, then they showed how these assets were allocated to sectoral activities. The decision-making process and collaboration with the host nation were included. Lively discussion on main challenges allowed to formulate a few key recommendations for the future. Strengthening international cooperation and coordination through a complex mechanism of sharing competencies among different stakeholders, proper division of tasks and responsibilities, and reviewing lessons learnt from relief operations seem to be key factors to develop and improve the whole aid system.

Aim/purpose – Disasters or catastrophic events create unforeseen circumstances and require new approaches from local and national administrations in addressing the negative impacts on society and the economy. Determining the role of e-government in providing the kind of services that are especially needed has become particularly relevant during COVID-19. This paper aims to assess the progress and current state of research on the role of e-government during or in the aftermath of catastrophic events. The purpose of this research is twofold: one, to benefit scholars by providing directions and a basis for further research, and two, to offer guidance to decision-makers involved with disaster management. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review. Multiple databases, including EBSCO, Elsevier, Emerald, JSTOR, Google Scholar, SAGE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, Taylor and Francis, and Wiley Online Library were searched for appropriate papers. In total, 36 papers published between 2004 and 2022 met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Findings – The study produced three types of findings. First, an analysis of the themes and trends in the existing literature. Second, a synopsis of the published research findings in the reviewed papers. And third, a description of the needs and opportunities for further research. Research implications/limitations – This study should help other researchers in directing their efforts in further exploration, and it should help people involved with real-life disaster management to navigate through the effective role and application of e-government. The main limitation is that we found only 36 research papers that met our inclusion criteria. Originality/value/contribution – Despite the potentially critical role that e-government may have in mitigating the negative effects of catastrophic events, research on e-government in disaster management seems to be still underdeveloped, and to our knowledge, there is no published systematic review of such research.

The public sector across Europe and elsewhere was affected by the economic crisis which fully unfolded in 2008. Considerable attention has been paid in the literature to the impacts of related budgetary cuts on social welfare, while some other areas remain largely under-researched. One of such areas is the so-called civil security, where no such endeavour has been attempted so far. In order to fill this gap, the paper examines the civil security systems of Central European countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary), employing a qualitative comparative analysis. Taking on the systems perspective, the article inquires how the stress posed by the economic crisis affected the civil security systems - their structure and financing. The paper builds on the findings from a 7th FP project, “ANVIL”, within which data on civil protection and disaster management systems were collected.

This paper aims to systematize and explore the understanding of knowledge management in crisis management as a result of a systematic literature review. Three dimensions of research on knowledge management in crisis management were identified during the conducted analyses. Research topics in this area were analyzed in terms of basic, motor, emerging, and niche thematic areas. The current issues taken up in the field of knowledge management in crisis management were determined, and the topics requiring research in the future were identified. As a result, this article provides the theoretical background and important information on knowledge management in crisis management from a theoretical and practical perspective.

Celem niniejszego artykułu było uporządkowanie istniejących wyników badań w zakresie zarządzania wiedzą w zarządzaniu kryzysowym w sektorze publicznym w wyniku systematycznego przeglądu literatury. W toku przeprowadzonych analiz zidentyfikowano trzy obszary badań nad zarządzaniem wiedzą w zarządzaniu kryzysowym w sektorze publicznym, a tematy badań w tym zakresie zanalizowano w ujęciu podstawowych, napędzających, wyłaniających się i niszowych obszarów tematycznych. Ustalono aktualne zagadnienia podejmowane w zakresie zarządzania wiedzą w zarządzaniu kryzysowym w sektorze publicznym. W rezultacie artykuł ten dostarcza podstaw teoretycznych i ważnych informacji na temat zarządzania wiedzą w zarządzaniu kryzysowym w sektorze publicznym z teoretycznej i praktycznej perspektywy.

Background: The aim of this paper is to present and analyze a new method of the logistics disaster management and concentrates particularly on terrorist attacks of CBRN type (C - chemical attack/weapon, B - biological attack/weapon, R - radiological attack/weapon, N - nuclear attack/weapon) at the airports. Each of the aforementioned is an issue of great importance and high priority for the airport communication. Methods: The research of a ROIT project (Realtime Observation, Identification and Tracking from dangerous people in airports) has been conducted in a way that enables the application of the three-step computer system. The program has been configured to identify, observe and protect from undesired actions of people suspected of involvement in CBRN. Results: The main results of applying the device in different scenarios are: enabling reliable automatic identification and classification of potentially hazardous materials and substances, association of the materials with their owners or distributors. Conclusion: Simultaneous passing information to the airport security guards, police and expert team guarantees that further purposes involve the independent opportunity to observe in real time the CBRN suspects as well as to eliminate them secretly and quickly from the rest of airport passengers after thorough and credible identification.

Wstęp: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i poddanie analizie nowej metody zarządzania logistycznego zagrożeniami (Disaster-Management), w zakresie ataków terrorystycznych typu CBRN (C - atak chemiczny, B - atak biologiczny, dla R - atak radiologiczny i dla N - atak nuklearny) w portach lotniczych. Każda z tych form działalności terrorystycznej stanowi na całym świecie problem o najwyższym, priorytetowym znaczeniu w komunikacji lotniczej. Metody: Proponowany w przeprowadzonych przez autorów badaniach projekt logistycznego rozwiązania systemu ROIT (Realtime Observation, Identification and Tracking from dangerous persons in airports), został opracowany w ten sposób, że możliwa jest aplikacja trójstopniowego systemu informatycznego, skonfigurowanego na potrzeby identyfikacji, obserwacji i zabezpieczenia przed niepożądanym działaniem ze strony osób, co do których istnieje podejrzenie o generowanie zagrożeń typu CBRN. Wyniki: Praktyczna aplikacja systemu w różnych scenariuszach, co umożliwia niezawodną i automatyczną identyfikację oraz klasyfikację potencjalnych materiałów i substancji niebezpiecznych przy powiązaniu ich z właścicielami lub dysponentami. Wnioski: Stworzenie możliwości równoległego przekazywania stosownych informacji do odpowiednich służb portu lotniczego oraz zespołów eksperckich i służb bezpieczeństwa, gwarantuje możliwości samodzielnej obserwacji w czasie rzeczywistym osób, co do których istnieje podejrzenie o generowanie zagrożeń typu CBRN, oraz umożliwia dyskretną i sprawną eliminację tego typu osób ze strumienia przepływu pasażerów w przestrzeni portu lotniczego po ich skutecznej i wiarygodnej identyfikacji.
