Abstract: The article aims to present the results of analysis of civil planning and crisis management practices in selected countries for their effective adaptation to another country with specific conditions. The analysis has identified practices and organizational solutions in crisis management of public administration that could be applied to Poland. We have used the Hofstede model describing cultural dimensions in order to evaluate and select countries culturally similar to Poland. It has been assumed that cultural similarities concerning complex relationships and social conditions increase the chances of the effective implementation of solutions between countries with culturally similar societies. Recommended practices include agreeing on business continuity plans with private entities, placing emphasis on prevention and cooperation with nongovernmental organizations, and creating strong competence centers.
