Summary/Abstract: National security is and must be considered a public propriety that has to be accomplished by competent state institutions, continuously and equally, for all its citizens. Often, national security is endangered by natural risks and threats (earthquakes, flood, storms etc.). A significant part of these threats are generated by human activities that often damage irreversibly the natural environment. Lately, state institutions and nongovernmental ecological organizations are increasingly interested in protecting the environment.
