The reliable and secure power supply is the key element on which all human activities and, in many cases, human lives are directly dependent. Excessive long-term power outage (also referred to as a power blackout) is nowadays a real threat to any contemporary modern society, the Czech Republic undoubtedly belongs to. There is the research “Increase of regional resiliency against a power blackout using new technologies and crisis management procedures”. This article discusses regional requirements when a power failure occurs. The developed methodology establishes rules for identifying the most important processes and determines the level of importance of the relevant infrastructure (objects) to provide the necessary level of protection of the population and sustainable development in the affected area.
Key words: Municipality, Threat, Power Outage, Resilience, Security of the Territory, Population, Critical Object.
