The aim of this article is to present the results of an analysis and an evaluation of the operationalsecurity status in relation to the most important hazards in Węgrów County, as assessed by units ofthe National Firefighting and Rescue System (NFRS) on the county area. The study was conducted in2024 in the Węgrów County, specifically in the town o...

This article presents the results of research aimed at determining the feasibility of using spatial data in the Polish State Fire Service. The study explores the legal, organizational, and technical factors influencing this use, based on surveys conducted with fire service officers who use spatial data in their work. The conducted research employed...

This article presents the results of research aimed at verifying the following hypothesis: to determine the possibility of using spatial data for the needs of the State Fire Service (SFS), one should take into account conditions of the following nature: legal, organizational and technical. The research, carried out using the survey method in Poland...

The aim of this paper is to present the results of the safety level measurement of radiological andnuclear (RN) quasi-experiment (q-E), which was carried out in 2016 in the Chernobyl ExclusionZone, in Pripyat town, as part of the End-user driven DEmo for cbrNe project (EDEN, FP7/2012-2016, under grant agreement no. 313077). The paper analyses the q...

Due to the trial guidance methodology the new approach to finding an added value of a solution or a set of solutions which they might bring to crisis management is called trialling. The approach allows the collection of valid and reliable information, rooted from evidence-based data generated by practitioners using a solution or a set of solutions...

The incidence of floods, which are globally recognized as the most hazardous phenomena, increases in dimensions of space, time and intensity. Therefore, disaster managers seek solutions to facilitate their decision making process in this respect. Although there is a broad spectrum of potentially appropriate technologies, finding the most suitable s...

Searching for and trialling innovative solutions in disaster management is a must. This process challenges certain efforts and requires specific methods since disaster response is a very complex, dynamic and uncertain environment. Furthermore, the spectrum of solutions that are claimed to have potential to facilitate disaster response is broad enou...

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki oceny poziomu świadomości ekspertów do spraw bezpieczeństwa oraz społeczeństwa powiatu przysuskiego na temat akceptowalności ryzyka wybranych zagrożeń, które miałoby na celu polepszenie działań prewencyjnych na terenie powiatu. Badania zostały przeprowadzone na trzech grupach respondentów: mieszkańcach powiatu przysu...

The article examined selected individual protection used during rescue and fire-extinguishing activities. Fire helmet and special shoes were examined under conditions resembling the operational conditions of LNG gases. The assessment of the equipment consumption was based on strength tests. The main threats come from thermal and mechanical factors....

Implementation of innovative solutions into regular use of crisis management practitioners represents a significant challenge as it must balance willingness to improve operational efficiency with proven reliability. To achieve the set of objectives conducting Trials is a cornerstone of the DRIVER+ approach. Each Trial was focused on a precisely ide...

The effect of enhanced filtration on protection citizens staying indoor against airborne radionuclides released during nuclear core melt accidents was determined by field measurements using outdoor particles as simulants. An electrically enhanced filter was installed in the HVAC system of an office building and its removal efficiency for particles...

Wejście w fazę społeczeństwa informacyjnego, społeczeństwa sieci, czasami określanego społeczeństwem postindustrialnym, nacechowane jest wzrostem niepewności generowanej przez dynamicznie zmieniające się otoczenie, narastaniem oddziaływań wzajemnie ze sobą powiązanych systemów politycznych, gospodarczych i społecznych. Oddziaływań, które coraz częś...

Building first responders' operational readiness exercising in radioactively contaminated zones is definitely a value, however, it is questioned how high could be a cost of this benefit on their health, if any? What are the key aspects to be considered while organizing an emergency exercise in contaminated training sites in order to minimize health...

Sudden large scale outdoor releases of toxic materials may require protective actions in the affected areas, and one option is to shelter indoors. Mechanically ventilated buildings provide protection against outdoor hazardous particulate materials with varying efficiency depending mainly on the properties of the HVAC system of the building, air lea...

Crisis management is one of the most complex types of management. This is a result of the fact that "The crisis can be regarded as 'odd point' civilization in space. Undoubtedly, this phenomenon is focusing almost all problems due to pressure of time, generally taking place in a limited space. You need to add to that a strong social pressure, alway...

The paper presents analysis of usefulness of space applications in crisis management activities carried out on the national level. Analytical approach has been based upon development of realistic disaster scenarios and their evaluation with assumption of existence of space-related capabilities available to rescue forces. Building upon analysis's re...

We report on the first analysis of directed and elliptic flow with the new method of Lee–Yang zeros. Experimental data are presented for Ru+Ru reactions at 1.69A GeV measured with the FOPI detector at SIS/GSI. The results obtained with several methods, based on the event-plane reconstruction, on Lee–Yang zeros, and on multiparticle cumulants (up to...

In contemporary, fast-paced environment dealing with crisis situations has become one of the most important tasks for the local authorities. Crisis situation can be here described as flood or fire as well as traffic problems or water supply system breakdown. In each of the described situations local authorities should undertake actions that will mi...

New results on nuclear collective flow are presented for central and semi-central Ru + Ru collisions at 400 A MeV measured with the FOPI detector at GSI-Darmstadt. The source shape parameters, flow angle and aspect ratios, are extracted from Gaussian fits to in-plane and out-of-plane momentum distributions. The orientation and the shape of the sour...

Results of the intermittency analysis of experimental data obtained with the FOPI detector and the analysis of events simulated by the IQMD model for Au + Au collisions at 600A and 800A MeV are presented. The method of horizontal normalized scaled factorial moments was used. The intermittency analysis for charge-, rapidity- and azimuthal angle obse...

Results of a search for intermittency signal in Au+Au collisions at 150-800 {ITALIC A}MeV beam energy are presented. The method of horizontal normalised scaled factorial moments was applied. Data from the FOPI detector at GSI Darmstadt were analysed. No distinct intermittency signal was found in rapidity and charge distributions. Intermittency occu...

Results of a search for an intermittency signal in Au+Au collisions at 800 AMeV beam energy are presented. Data from the FOPI detector at GSI Darmstadt were analysed. No intermittency signal was found in either rapidity or charge distributions. Intermittency is present in azimuthal angle distribution.
