Emergencies occur as a consequence of events that cause harmful consequences for people and the environment. The declaration of a state of emergency is the responsibility of the state or local governments. Emergency management should be organized in order to preserve the health and livelihood of the population in the area affected by the epidemic of infectious diseases and thus enable the functioning of economic activities and society as a whole. The results of the research will contribute to the development of the functioning of local self-governments in various types of events and functioning in emergency situations. At the same time, the scientific fund from the sphere of security sciences will be enriched and the fund for the development of scientific research methodology will be enriched. In practical terms, the problem of efficient functioning of local self - government in the conditions of an epidemic of infectious diseases is solved (especially in the light of the epidemic caused by the COVID - 19 virus) through a practical and theoretical model. The research was created as a result of the project "Model of functioning of local self government in terms of the infectious disease" number 142-451-3077/2020-02, financed by the Provincial Secretariat for Higher Education and Scientific Research of AP Vojvodina.
