Alert levels - practical and legal dimensions of their use
Alert levels - practical and legal dimensions of their use

Summary/Abstract: Alert levels - as a legal institution currently standardised in Chapter 3 of the Act of 10 June 2016 on anti-terrorist activities, having its origins still in the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management - can significantly affect both public administration bodies and many entities and, in certain cases, the general public when applied. Seven years of functioning of the alert levels in the current formula allows an attempt to describe them and make a several-faceted assessment.The article discusses alert levels on two dimensions, i.e. the actual use of this legal institution, especially the answer to the questions whether and in which cases they are managed, and the adequacy of legal solutions from the perspective of the assumed objectives, taking into account both the practical dimension of the use of alert levels and the structural correctness.
