dc.description.abstract	Disruption of the critical infrastructure element can seriously impact the security of the state, the necessities of the population, and the state's economy. One essential element of infrastructure is healthcare. Due to the large concentration of inhabitants, the healthcare system can target terrorist attacks. These attacks may be by chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. The aim of the paper is to assess the hospital's preparedness to solve terrorist attacks. Secondly, the case study for the selected hospital in the Czech Republic was prepared. Heuristic preparedness analysis and TerEx software were selected for the preparing results. Based on the analytical method, we get an idea of the preparedness system to solve terrorist attacks in hospitals and vulnerabilities. TerEx software is used for the mathematical model of the case study. The preparedness of individual hospitals varies in the Czech Republic. Therefore, it is essential that hospitals, as elements of critical infrastructure, reduce the risk of terrorist attacks using CBRN weapons. © 2022 ACM.	en
