Slovak Self-governments` Legislative Aspects of the Possibilities in Dealing with Nuclear and Other Extraordinary Events

The scientific article focuses primarily on management problems involving municipal self-government in solving the crisis situation of the population in cases not only exceptional nuclear events. It stresses the need to respond flexibly with a legislative solution to the lack of regulation. The main focus of research is to define the legal basis for the protection of the population at national level. It then focuses on proposals for legal solutions that will enable adequate protection of the population of the affected territories in the Slovak Republic. Using selected scientific methods of examination, we critically evaluate the legislative difficulties limiting the preparedness of the management of municipalities to cases of possible exceptional events especially nuclear events. The result and added value of our examination are proposals for more appropriate regulation in terms of protecting the lives, health, property and social security of the affected population.
