Guiding principles
The principle of responsibilityThe principle of responsibility means that whoever is responsible for an activity in normal conditions should assume corresponding responsibility in crisis or war situations.
The principle of parityThe principle of parity means that during a crisis or war authorities should as much as possible be organized and located as in peacetime.
The principle of proximityThe principle of proximity means that crises should be dealt with at the lowest possible level.

Definitions Risk analysis and Vulnerability analysis
Risk analysisFocus on probability and consequences. Answers the questions:
1. What can happen?2. What is the probability of the event?3. Which are the possible consequences?
Vulnerability analysisFocus on vulnerability – how big and how serious the effect is on a given system if it is exposed to a negative event. The extent of the vulnerability is affected by the capacity of the system to foresee, manage, withstand and recover from the event.
That is – the vulnerability analysis assess the crisis management capacity of the system.
