ATRIBUŢIILE STRUCTURILOR ŞI AUTORITĂŢILOR PUBLICE ÎN DOMENIUL PROTECŢIEI CIVILE
THE COMPETENCES OF THE PUBLIC STRUCTURES AND AUTHORITIES IN THE FIELD OF CIVIL PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: The civil protection, component of the national security system, evolved from the passive protection to the anti-aerial protection, and then to civil defence and, nowadays, to civil protection. The effects of the emergency situation cannot be avoided but they can be managed and their impact can be reduced. Therefore, preventing the surprise in emergency situations generated by the occurrence of special events is important and necessary, even though the costs occur in the present and the benefits in the future. The National System for the Management of the Emergency Situations (SNMSU) is meant to coordinate the activity of the authorities and institutions involved in preventing and managing the emergency situations with a view to use efficiently the human, material and financial resources necessary for such an activity. Within SNMSU an important role is allocated to the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU), a special body subordinated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has as main tasks: the unitary and permanent coordination of the activity of preventing and managing emergency situations and the activity of the territorial departments for emergency situations, created as separate services. Special roles in the activity of civil protection have the prefect, who is the president of the territorial committee for emergency situations, and the mayor, who is the president of the local committee for emergency situations.
