Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the issue of spatial conditions which affect crisis management. The typology of events which pose threats has been analysed, as have been the main data, which are necessary to evaluate and assess such threats. The analysis results have been applied in the form of a map of threats to transport routes, where there is a risk of snow being blown onto the roads. It takes into account the spatial conditions prevalent in the area, which favour the specific situation. The map has been developed with the use of available sources of information, such as Geoportal, the system of spatial information on forests and AutoCad software.
