The National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the “Transport” sector until 2030 was developed in the period 2017 – 2019. After 4 years in the conditions of several overlapping crises, the recommendations contained in the document on main adaptation measures relating to institutional capacity building have not started. This is observed against the background of activity from a number of countries that are looking for models to assess the sensitivity of the transport infrastructure to climate events and, from there, measures to achieve sustainability and adaptability in the medium term. The article analyzes the problems of backwardness in Bulgaria and offers recommendations for increasing the participation of all interested participants in the transport sector.

Medical facilities are distinctive types of premises accessible by a wide range of visitors seven days a week. They are places characterized by a high concentration of civilians and low-level security against the occurrence of various types of emergencies. Undoubtedly, terrorism is one of them. From a security point of view, hospitals are soft terrorist targets. Given the topicality of terrorism, we must address the question whether sufficient security is ensured for medical facilities. The aim of this paper is to point out the key role of security management in the overall management of hospitals. It will also outline some shortcomings in technical and operational security applications for their premises. The paper further discusses the effectiveness of crisis plans and emergency management exercises, as those are the primary conditions of successful emergency management.
