Every human activity as well as the environment in which it takes place is a possible source of crisis events. Every activity or condition in nature or society may go adrift under particular conditions and may cause damage and loss. The occurrence of crisis events negatively influences the development of a territory. The source of information for this study is the analysis of the characteristics of crisis events and their evaluation by crisis management experts and urban planners involved in the concerned survey. During the evaluation, the quantitative method of mathematical statistics was applied - analysis of variance through the application of statistical software. We also take into consideration the preventive measures incorporated in the territorial plans as part of the risk management of municipalities. The inclusion of risk management measures in the territorial plans of municipalities increases their safety level.
