INFORMATION - BASIC LEVER OF ANTI-CRISIS MANAGEMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

Abstract

The requirements of modernity, the functioning of global society in the face of extraordinary challenges to its sustainability draws attention to methodological and  scientific research on civil security, the study of best practices in crisis management in Europe. Also, the scientific task is a theoretical justification of the components of the mechanism of public administration in the field of civil security and their characteristics. Based on the analysis of the mechanism of state anti-crisis management of the Republic of Poland, information is hypothetically defined as its central (basic) lever, its significant characteristics are substantiated. The research methods were the method of comparative analysis, content analysis, hypothetical method, method of interviewing experts. Based on the analysis of previous studies, it is determined that such structural elements of the mechanism of public administration as policies, levers, tools, in particular in the management of civil security, have not found their place, in some studies are identified, and in many studies they are mentioned. These studies are the theoretical basis for confirming the hypothesis that "information" is the basis of public administration decisions, an integral part of the system, which aims to reduce the uncertainty of its operation, not only an interdisciplinary term that contradicts the unknown, but also a key factor management) of national security, the circulation of information is the basis for the proper functioning of the anti-crisis management system of the Republic of Poland. Analysis of the anti-crisis management system of the Republic of Poland shows that the activities of government agencies are aimed at organizing and supporting all possible communication systems - information, transport, logistics and more. And the higher the level of management, the more important is the factor of coordination of certain activities. This coordination of management bodies (forces) of anti-crisis management is based on receiving (providing) messages (information) from available forces and means and activities of the subject of the lower level management system and messages requesting the necessary forces and means from higher levels. Much attention is also paid to the system of monitoring identified threats. It is proposed to replace the concept of "monitoring" with the concept of "controlling", which is based on the collection, processing, verification, standardization of relevant information (messages) about the state (threat, risk) of the object of protection. It is determined that in order to organize hierarchical information and data processing in the RP crisis management system, maintain an effective information flow of standardized data (collection of the minimum amount of data, supplement (if necessary) their additional information and present in the form of a report (initial, corrective, final) ) the information-analytical system "Central Reporting Application" functions. It is concluded that information is the content transmitted by the message, which allows to understand the meaning of data and the relationship between them, the fulcrum of the system (mechanism) of public administration of crisis management, according to the characteristics of which determines the effectiveness of its communication component, in particular, and the entire crisis management system as a whole. Significant characteristics of information are identified and described, including relevance, value, timeliness, validity, truthfulness or truth (falsity), subjectivity (subjectivity), objectivity, primacy (secondary), usefulness, completeness, accuracy, flexibility, reliability, sufficiency, uniqueness, unambiguity. The direction of further research is to study practical cases on the functioning of information and analytical systems of crisis management in Europe to determine the significant characteristics of information flows that are processed in them.
