Summary/Abstract: In order to discuss the relationship between crisis and crisis situation, we should first define the two concepts and analyze them. The term "crisis" is an ambiguous nation used in many areas, such as: political science, military science, organization and management science, economics or medical sciene. This term derives from the ancient Greek word "krisis" and indicates a turning point, a decisive moment, a qualitative change of the system or within the system. In colloquial speech, the term "crisis" is used in situations that are associated with threat. The term is used to speak of the political, econimic, energy, social, natural environment crisis, or of the crisis of values. In the field of security a "crisis" is variously defined in connection with this field, scientific approach and practical activity.
