The paper examines the theoretical foundations of security and their application to the specific institutional environment of children’s homes. Security is conceptualized as a fundamental human and social need, as well as an integral component of national interest and the democratic functioning of the state. The text analyzes the relationship between security theory and the practical requirements of crisis planning in children’s homes, with particular regard to natural hazards such as floods, windstorms, and pandemics. The contribution highlights the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation and the importance of crisis preparedness plans in strengthening the resilience and readiness of children’s homes. Based on the proposed theoretical framework, recommendations are formulated for the development of security policies and innovative approaches to the protection of children as a particularly vulnerable group within society.
