“…Rescue in the subjective sense is all specialized services whose main task is to help people in life and health threatening situations. Summarizing the considerations made so far, it should be stated that rescue includes all methods and means of saving human life and property [26]. Rescue is important element of crises management.…”

The work concerns selected rescue problems, including the handling of the 112 emergency number during the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland. The 112 number is valid throughout the EU, it is used only to notify in emergency situations of threat to health, life, or property. As social practice shows, disruptions in its functioning, including unjustified reports, significantly increase the costs of its operation, and in extreme cases may lead to failure to provide assistance to those in need. The ongoing pandemic has left a significant mark on many aspects of life, including the operation of rescue systems responsible for the safety of citizens in the country. The co-author of the work during the service of the 112 emergency number noticed some problems and disadvantages related to the rescue operation in crisis management. This was the reason for presenting this issue in the form of a publication. Selective problems of rescue in crisis management related to the ongoing pandemic were indicated. There are problems with the lack of strength and resources of the State Medical Rescue, the emergency notification process itself also requires improvement, as evidenced by the responses of the respondents - 112 operators. Not all identified defects are presented in the publication. The list of problems indicated by the respondents is longer, not always related to the pandemic. Only appropriate changes in the management of the rescue system are able to improve the quality and efficiency of the system. The utilitarian solutions presented in this publication can serve this purpose.

Managerial decision making is an integral process used in public and private organizations. Critical infrastructure entities are a strategically significant group dependent on the quality of decision-making processes. They aim to provide services necessary to ensure state security and to satisfy basic human needs. The quality of decision making is an important factor in the management of these entities. The quality level is determined by many factors, the key of which is risk management. For this reason, it is necessary for the operators to minimize risks affecting the elements of the critical infrastructure through which these services are provided. Risk management is commonly used for this purpose, making it possible to assess and manage these risks. However, there is a specific group of threats that affects the resilience of these elements. The indication of these threats is not possible through common risk management. Therefore, it is necessary to develop specific scenarios of negative impacts and procedures for assessing their impact on the resilience of elements of the critical infrastructure. To this end, this conceptual article introduces an entirely new managerial decision-making process for indicating the resilience of critical infrastructure elements.

“…They usually occur due to various causes, such as natural catastrophes (earthquakes, wildfires, dust storms and extreme colds), technical and technological catastrophes (process fires, explosions, and leakages of toxic substances) or humanitarian actions (acts of terrorism, sabotages, violence, and strikes). Regardless of the cause of crises, each company or organization have to have a specific system of crisis management for minimizing property loss and loss of human life (3)(4)(5).…”

BackgroundThe article is concerned with an evaluation of the current state of emergency readiness of industrial companies in the event of dangerous substance leakage and with a presentation of textile sorbents used for the purposes of capturing an escaped substance.MethodsA part of the article is concerned with the experimental designation of sorption capacity of hydrophobic, chemical, and universal sorption mats for chosen polar (water and alcohol) and non-polar (oil and gasoline) liquids. Experiments were realized according to Standard Test Method for Sorbent Performance of Adsorbents for use on Crude Oil and Related Spills, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM F726-17), type I. and Test methods for non-woven fabrics, European Union International Organization for Standardization (EN ISO 9073-6:2004). The aim of the article is an experimental designation of sorption capacity of textile sorption mats using two different methods, a comparison of the acquired results and a comparison of the acquired data with the data given by the manufacturer.ResultsTextile sorbents, which can, owing to their sorption ability, allow the elimination or mitigation of a negative impact of a possible accident in the company connected with an escape of a liquid dangerous substance were tested and compared with the established values. Based on the obtained results it is possible to state that sorption capacities of the chemical and universal mat for the substrate water are equal and consistent with the data given by the manufacturer. Textile sorption mats also have a comparable sorption capacity. The sorption capacity on the substrate gasoline is the same in all textile sorbents. The adsorption capacity per unit mass all type’s sorbents was similar for non-polar liquids (gasoline was values from 6.41 to 6.57 and oil was values from 9.54 to 10.24).ConclusionThe acquired results confirmed the universality of textile sorption mats for gasoline. Sorption capacities of the chemical and universal mat for the substrate water are equal and match the data given by the manufacturer. Textile sorption mats have a maximum sorption output up to 60 s, afterwards the sorption capacity values remain unchanged.
