One of the key elements of the critical infrastructure of the state is the transport system. Its development is determined by a number of various factors, among which the priority role falls to defence issues. In accordance with the provisions of strategic doctrinal documents, the construction of a modern transport system, combined with the introduction of modern means of transport is one of the key areas in the system of defence preparations and state emergency response. From the perspective of contemporary conditions, the development of transport networks is necessary to ensure the required conditions of movement of people and the transport of armaments and military equipment, to meet the living needs of the population and the possibility of evacuation, support of the Polish Armed Forces and allied forces in the crisis or war time. The article, based on performed researches has identified the essence and importance of defence needs for the development of transport infrastructure in Poland.

To ensure a resilient Healthcare Critical Infrastructure, understanding the vulnerabilities and analysing the interdependency on other critical infrastructures is important. To model this critical infrastructure and its dependencies, Hierarchal Coloured petri net modelling approach for simulating the vulnerability of Healthcare Critical infrastructure in a disaster situation is studied.. The model enables to analyse and understand various state changes, which occur when there is a disruption or damage to any of the Critical Infrastructure, and its cascading nature. It also enables to explore optimal paths for evacuation during the disaster. The simulation environment can be used to understand and highlight various vulnerabilities of Healthcare Critical Infrastructure during a flood disaster scenario; minimize consequences; and enable timely, efficient response.
