Crisis management at local level is an important element of crisis situations solving. Its task is to provide management in crisis situations outside the time of war and state of war. It creates conditions for effective precautions to protect life, health and property, analyses possible risk of creation of crisis situation and proposes measures to solve it. At local level, which in the Slovak Republic is represented mainly by cities and municipalities, the crisis management is performed by the crisis headquarters, an executive body of crisis management. These are the situations, during which the safety of the state, the city, citizens and their property is immediately threatened. To solve crisis situation an extraordinary situation, state of emergency or state of calamity can be declared. Crisis management outside the time of war is a sum of work of crisis management bodies, that are concentrating on analysing and evaluation of safety risks and menaces, planning and executing measures during crisis situation solving. The basic document of crisis headquarters is the Statute of crisis headquarters. It has a character of internal document and is usually developed on city or municipality level. The development is usually delegated on the responsible department or an expert employee. Its text is binding and in case of crisis management, all involved parties must be guided by it.
