Abstract
One of the most particular priorities is to make available and operate systems and services, which guarantee the continuity of everyday life in the 21st Century. In order to ensure the efficiency of protection it is necessary to give effect to several physical, human and IT measures, which have integrated a complex framework through the legislation of critical infrastructure.
After the legal harmonization in the European Union, Hungary has begun to create its own system for critical infrastructure protection, within the first concrete step was when the Act 165th of 2012 on the identification, designation and protection of critical infrastructures and its Government Decree on the implementation came into effect. This study aims to summarize the main steps of the public proceedings related to identifying and designating critical infrastructures. In connection with the legislation I will present the function and prime assignments of the professional body for disaster management.
