Looking Back

Emergency situation was declared in Estonia in the middle of March; the country was placed under partial lockdown. Libraries had to close. One of the first steps taken by the National Library of Estonia in these exceptional circumstances was to establish a crisis management committee to monitor the overall situation and decide how the library should proceed. The library was able to react quickly and continue with basic services, providing them online or contact-free. New services were introduced, making home lending and reference enquiry more efficient and convenient. The library reopened on 18 May. Looking back, we are happy to have not just survived but managed the crisis as an opportunity. This was reflected in increased numbers of new registered readers and usage. The emergency situation clearly indicated one of the most important requirements for libraries – the need to be ready to react fast and adapt to new situations.

The article analyzes the Bulgarian administrative legal framework on emergencies (state of emergency, crisis management and overcoming, emergency situation and emergency epidemic situation). It indicates the temporary restrictions of the right of free movement of the citizens provided in the legislation. The article discusses the competence of the central executive authorities, interdepartmental bodies and territorial authorities (regional governors and mayors) to deal with a pandemic. The article discusses also the legal basis and justifications for the introduction of the curfew by some of the regional governors and mayors during the state of emergency, caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

Social media has redefined crisis management in the recent years. Extraction of situation awareness information from social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. is a non-trivial task once the required framework is established. Unfortunately, most public safety authorities are still suspicious of using social media in engaging and disseminating information. This chapter reports on how social media can be effectively used in the field of emergency management along with the opportunities and challenges put forth. The chapter starts with a discussion on the functions of social media and its trustworthiness. It provides a description of the framework for disaster management system and the methodology to be adopted. The methodology consists of volunteer classification, methods of data collection, challenges faced, event detection, and data characterization with currently available disaster management tools. The chapter concludes with the division between practice and research and moves toward envisioning how social media may be used as a resource in emergency management.

Olga Prokopenko, Nataliia Sytnyk, Roman Shevchenko FORMATION OF CRITERIA OF DESIGN AND SYSTEM MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY SITUATION OF MEDICAL AND BIOLOGICAL CHARACTER The solution of the problem of increasing the efficiency of application of the mathematical apparatus of resource-critical management of measures of prevention of emergencies of medical-biological character in the conditions of constantly changing information load on anti-crisis management bodies is considered. In the framework of this task, the current state of the issue on the formation of the mathematical apparatus of methods of counteracting emergencies of medical and biological nature is analyzed, taking into account the specifics of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. The main parameters of modeling the process of choosing a management strategy for the prevention of medical and biological emergency within the project-system management, which allowed to determine the criteria for project-system management of medical and biological emergency in a constantly changing information load on crisis management. The scheme of organizational structure of the module of management of system of resource-critical management of process of the prevention of an emergency situation of medico-biological character within the limits of interaction of links of the center of crisis management is developed; The obtained results allow, using innovative organizational and technical methods of prevention of emergencies of this nature, to further form a modern method of counteracting emergencies of medical and biological nature, supplementing the above methods with an effective system of crisis management. The proposed author's approach to system-project management of the process of formation and processing of information messages in emergencies of medical and biological nature causes, first, the creation of a fundamentally new scheme of branching and relationships within individual crisis management centers at all levels of subordination and prevention system emergencies in general; secondly, the introduction into the functional field of the system of emergency prevention of medical and biological nature of the module of resource-crisis management of information message, as an element of system-project management, requires a radical revision of approaches to training specialists (managers) in the relevant field. skills and knowledge in the organization and management of complex cyclical information and communication projects Key words: emergency situation, mathematical model, medical and biological danger, anti-crisis management.
