With the growing number of natural and other major disasters each state has to prepare a comprehensive response within protection, help and relief sector. The latter has to include a large number of actors with various backgrounds. Coordination of these actors is very important, since coordinated action enables a successful response to major natural disasters. Within my diploma I analyse the coordination of crisis response actors in the Republic of Slovenia. My analysis is aimed at identifying the main differences between planned and implemented coordination among crisis actors in response to flood in September 2010. By comparing planned and executed coordination on national, regional and local level I point out the deviations that occurred in the response to the disaster. The analysis reveals that coordination of actors of crisis response is outlined in normative-legal acts indirectly, through planning, coordination and cooperation. Coordination between actors of crisis response went mostly according to predetermined plan in 2010 flood. The biggest discrepancies occurred in the coordination of actors in the City of Ljubljana, where the largest amount of improvisation took place.
