Those risks may have different sources and various levels of the probability of their occurrence. The lack of interest in the topic may result in social and economic consequences. For this reason, the new society has created the necessity for a crisis management system and the participation in it of “risk-managers”, specialised in management during crisis situations. The purpose of the article is to present a methodological basis of the process and the decision reached in the circumstances of risk.
