Crisis preparedness of territorial units, as well as individual elements of their safety
systems, can be verifi ed in different ways. In the Czech Republic screening exercises are
often used for these purposes. Testing exercises should take place in conditions as similar
as possible to the real case scenarios. However, this is often not possible for different
reasons (e.g. considerable costs associated to practicing actions). One option is the use
of stress tests that are presently used (e.g. nuclear safety). The aim of this article is to
highlight and discuss this issue and outline the possible approach to reliable solution.
