1 626 The project research report focuses on the analysis and development of strategies to increase the resilience of healthcare facilities against large-scale power outages. The aim was to identify weaknesses in the current planning documentation and infrastructure, and to propose an innovative solution (recommended procedure) to ensure the continuity of healthcare even in extreme situations. Responsibility for preparing for threats lies with the founders of healthcare facilities (HFs), who should approach the issue proactively and prepare to deal with potential crisis situations. To protect patients and HFs, it is necessary to establish conditions that are adequate to mitigate threats. It is necessary to create appropriate subject competencies and facility dispositions so that they are able to apply preventive measures and respond competently to the crisis situation that has arisen. The preparedness of HFs for crisis situations is very important and is determined from several aspects. The first aspect is the dynamic and continuous occurrence of threats. In connection with this fact, it is important to increase the resilience of the environment and the human factor. The second aspect is that the ZZ can also be perceived as a soft target. Another aspect is the state's obligation to ensure the protection of the lives and health of the population. No less significant is the financial aspect. The implementation of partial elements of preparedness (e.g. education, training, planning) reduces the financial costs spent on eliminating the consequences of the crisis situation and on the subsequent restoration of the system. Last but not least, continuous building of preparedness will increase the safety of the ZZ and the overall quality standard of providing health services in crisis conditions.
