The diploma thesis deals with the issue of natural elements. These elements are also associated with extraordinary events that often result in the loss of human life. The work characterizes the basic events that relate to extraordinary events of a natural nature. It defines individual extraordinary events caused by natural disasters, their subsequent resolution by crisis management bodies, the application of relevant laws and marginally mentions the most famous natural disasters in our country and in the world. At the same time, the diploma thesis examines knowledge with the help of a questionnaire survey of lay people and experts, which are subsequently analyzed, interpreted and hypotheses solved using statistical methods.

The bachelor's thesis addresses the issues of the Police of the Czech Republic, its position within the Integrated Rescue System and its performance in the normal state and subsequently in the event of a state of emergency, which was declared in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The work is divided into two parts, the first part is theoretical and the second is practical. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into several chapters and subchapters, while the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis characterizes the Integrated Rescue System, describes its activities in the event of an emergency and lists and describes its basic components, most of which is devoted to the Police of the Czech Republic. Regarding the Police of the Czech Republic, the theoretical part describes important aspects, such as the characteristics of this component, its composition or the performance of basic tasks. In connection with these tasks, the last part of the theoretical part contains the issue of the declared most important emergencies in the Czech Republic, which lists all the declared emergencies in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic and related measures within the Police of the Czech Republic. In the practical part, the research was carried out using a questionnaire survey, which was intended for members of the Police of the Czech Republic. The aim of the questionnaire was to find out whether the police of the Czech Republic managed the situation that arose in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic and whether this situation affected the performance of the service and the service of the performing police. The questionnaire survey was developed into graphs and pictures and the information obtained was interpreted and described in more detail in the discussion. The questionnaire survey showed that the Police of the Czech Republic, thanks to the police officers who are a solid base of this unit and approached the crisis situation in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic with great respect, managed to face the Covid-19 pandemic, both internally and personnel. to the tense atmosphere that prevailed among the public. Although the police perceived a certain concern, especially the recovery of their loved ones and lacked contact with other colleagues after the regime measures were adopted, they did not feel psychologically affected due to their personal preconditions on the basis of their recruitment and the new situation was handled with complete professionalism.

The aim of the master thesis is to evaluate, by means of risk analysis, whether risks that could lead to an emergency event could occur in the territory of Sedlčany. Due to the constant development, new risks arise for which it is necessary to prepare. The risks can be prepared for by means of a multi-criteria analysis, which I have prepared for the territory of the ORP. To achieve these objectives, I have identified the threats that may occur in the territory. The threats are divided into three categories: acceptable, conditionally acceptable and unacceptable. For each threat, variables were used to determine the probability of occurrence. Probability and consequences were assessed by semi-quantitative scales that are 10-point scales. The coefficients determine frequency, lethal impact, endangerment of persons, environmental damage, direct damage and cost, constraints on persons, duration, and constraints on society. The investigation revealed that the territory of Sedlčany ORP is threatened by 36 risks that could lead to an emergency. In some cases, an emergency may grow into a situation where the normal forces and means to avert it will not be sufficient. A state of emergency could then be declared. According to the risk analysis, such emergencies would include natural floods, flash floods, epidemics and widespread power outages. The ORP not only prepares for these emergencies, but also needs to know the type of plans that identify 23 emergencies that could occur regardless of the results of the risk analysis. The results were consulted with the crisis management officer Jan Kundrlík and with the Fire Brigade in Příbram, specifically with mjr. Mgr. Kristýna Vojtíšková.

The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyse the preparedness of mayors and municipal authorities to deal with emergencies and crisis situations. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of relevant literature and legislation, which is closely related to the duties of the mayor and municipal authorities in the field of preparation and management of emergencies and crisis situations in the municipality. The emphasis is mainly on the obligations of municipal authorities in the field of public protection and related laws. Along with the preparation and management of emergencies or crisis situations, we encounter concepts where their correct and uniform understanding is important for an adequate approach to the emergency and the application of prepared measures. For this reason, the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis focuses, among other things, on these concepts and measures. For the practical part of the bachelor thesis the hypothesis "Mayors and municipal authorities are prepared to deal with emergencies and crisis situations with different levels of preparedness" is chosen. In order to refute or confirm the hypothesis, data from 52 questionnaires filled in by municipal mayors or other competent persons focused on the issue were processed. The survey was based on the results of questionnaires sent to municipalities located in the Czech Republic. The results of the questionnaires show that with regard to the possible threats to the municipality and the number of inhabitants in the municipality, the preparedness of the municipality for dealing with emergencies and crisis situations varies and the hypothesis is confirmed.

At present, emergency situations are becoming a frequent issue in management associated with population protection. Pupils' knowledge is often of great importance for saving lives and protecting people's health, even though educational facilities are places where pupils are put in a passive position and will be fully dependent on the activities of teachers. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes basic information about population protection, integrated rescue system, and the education system including the history of Population protection in emergency situations. This part also includes the study topics in the field of emergency situations according to the curriculum framework, along with described supporting materials and teaching aids for learning enhancement in elementary school pupils. The research part aimed to ascertain the level of emergency preparedness in elementary school pupils in Český Krumlov district and at the same time to evaluate whether girls have greater knowledge than boys. To achieve this goal and confirm or disprove the formulated hypothesis a non-standardized electronic questionnaire was used which investigated the knowledge of ninth grade pupils of selected elementary schools. This quantitative research was then evaluated using statistical methods. To confirm or disprove the hypothesis a two-sample t-test was used. The formulated hypothesis read: "In the field of population protection in the event of an emergency situation, girls at selected elementary schools in Český Krumlov district will have statistically significantly greater knowledge than boys.". Based on the outcome of the research, the hypothesis was disproved.

The diploma thesis deals with the issues of population protection in the district of Týn nad Vltavou. The aim of this work is to analyse the website of the administrative district of Týn nad Vltavou (as the municipality with extended powers) to protect the population. The partial goal is to find out whether the website provides all necessary for the protection of the population in the emergency planning zone of the Temelín nuclear power plant. The last goal was to survey how citizens use the web pages of the district of Týn nad Vltavou and how they understand them. In order to meet these objectives, an analysis of the Týn nad Vltavou website in the field of population protection and a questionnaire survey of the level of knowledge of the population on this topic is performed. At first we will get acquainted with the area of Týn nad Vltavou. Then we will continue with the current state of protection of the population in our territory and legal norms. The next part mentions the position and tasks of a crisis management worker. An essential part of the work are the tasks of population protection and their characteristics, which are a necessary part of knowledge in this area. Specifically, it concerns the protection of the population at the level of the municipality with extended powers and technical and organizational measures to protect the population, such as, in particular, warning, notification and emergency information of the population; evacuation; hiding; civil defense; civil protection and, as a last resort, general warnings and their importance. An integral part is the knowledge of crisis situations, which are discussed in the work. Following the theoretical part, which is based on a literary search of documents addressing the issue, the work continues with a practical part, which is based on the analysis and comparison of information content in the field of population protection on the website of Týn nad Vltavou. This analysis shows that enough information provided on the website is rated at 85 %. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey was conducted, with the result that most respondents rated the website very positively and also the comprehensibility of information in the field of population protection. The final evaluation of the website providing comprehensible information for the citizens of the Týn nad Vltavou district is evaluated as YES.

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of analysis of crisis communication of the state administration (state) towards the population during the crisis situation, which proved to be relevant from today's coronavirus crisis point of view. The analysis was based on a questionnaire survey, which was attended by 162 respondents. The questions were answered mainly by people aged 21 to 65, mostly with a university degree, living in municipalities of various sizes. Within the questionnaire, the respondents' satisfaction with the communication of the state administration towards the public was ascertained regarding the communication channels used, the type of information provided about the emergency, its comprehensibility and credibility. The evaluation of the research revealed that the Internet was mostly used by respondents to obtain information about emergencies, especially news portals and social networks, as well as traditional television and radio broadcasting. Most respondents stated that they could quickly find important information about the crisis situation and that it was understandable to them. It was also found that most respondents were able to distinguish the true message from misinformation and also tried to verify important messages from multiple sources. To do so, they mainly used public radio, television and its news internet portal, because they were considered the most trustworthy. Respondents to the questionnaire also stated that they obtained the information mostly from ministries and municipalities. The research resulted in several recommendations for the state administration. The state should consider creating a special mobile platform that would inform residents about emergencies and measures to manage them. It should also ensure the rapid, comprehensible provision of important, consistent information using all new and traditional communication platforms.

This bachelor thesis aims to describe the activities of non-governmental organisations and the provision of humanitarian aid and subsequently to find out what knowledge the citizens of the South Bohemian Region possess within these topics. The theoretical section contains individual information that defines specifically the content of non-governmental organisations, as well as humanitarian aid. The bachelor thesis selects and defines organizations that operate on the territory of the South Bohemian Region, including basic information on the provision of assistance to affected residents. An integrated rescue system is also mentioned in this work, which corresponds with the theme of this bachelor thesis through its activities. The research part is conducted by guided interviews and questionnaire surveys dealing with two research issues. To achieve the first goal and answer the research question "What humanitarian aid do non-governmental organisations provide?" managed interview questions have been set up that target specific non-governmental organisations. The questionnaire focused on the second question of the research section "What is the knowledge of the population of the South Bohemia Region about the provision of humanitarian aid?" In controlled interviews, I was given information such as ways of presenting the public, the most frequent target group or how many voluntary donors the organization has. Their most frequent activities include financial and manual assistance. Responses obtained in the research section showed that residents in the South Bohemia Region have at least a basic overview of the provision of humanitarian aid and non-governmental organisations. Respondents knew who could become a member of a non-governmental organisation and what are the examples of humanitarian aid.

The topic of the bachelor thesis was chosen mainly because the crisis management system is very often faced with a lack of professionally trained and experienced staff. In the last few years, there has also been a significant shift away from planning crisis management, especially at central level. Whether the flood situation has been addressed and complianced with the legislation. The final thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is divided into four basic subchapters. The first one aims to acquaint the reader with the methodology. The second part analyzes the role of management and crisis management of its components, the process and role of emergency planning and related legislation. The last subchapter deals with crisis management, its bodies, related legislation and crisis planning. The practical part of the thesis consists of a flood, situation of the self-governing unit. The results of the work should serve to practical life.

The diploma thesis aimed to judge current preparedness and personnel awareness of Nemocnice tábor a.s. in relation to state of emergency with particular stress on evacuation. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with description of Nemocnice Tábor a. s., definition of state of emergency and crisis situations including their description and possible consequences resulting from risk analysis. Next, this part is focused on evacuation description and necessary documentation resulting from law regulations. Final part deals with the description of training evacuation realized in the hospital and real evacuations which were undertaken in the Czech Republic and in foreign countries in the past. For answering the research question 1 "Does personnel awareness of Nemocnice Tábor a.s. in relation to state of emergency with specific stress on evacuation reach a success rate of 75 % correct answers?" was employed as a method questionnaire. The questionnaire (Attachment 1) was focused on general awareness, knowledge of fire protection, procedures resulting from Plan of crisis preparedness and knowledge of evacuation. For answering the research question 2 "Does preparedness of Nemocnice Tábor a. s. for solving state of emergency with specific stress on evacuation reach success rate of 75 % by set criteria?" was employed as a method interview (Attachment 2). The interview was carried out with the technical expert for security and protection of employees with work and fire protection in Nemocnice Tábor a. s.. Interview was focused on emergency planning connected with drinking water, electric energy, food, medicine, heating, electric communication, flood of people, active shooter attack and evacuation. The results of the questionnaire show that awareness of personnel in relation to state of emergency with particular stress on evacuation reaches a success rate of 57 % That is, when compared to beforehand set success rate of 75 %, not sufficient. On the basis of interview the hospital preparedness reached a success rate of 90,3 % which is for the hospital extraordinary result. Ascertained results will be handed over to Nemocnice Tábor a. s. in order to undertake appropriate steps.

Nowadays, more and more major emergencies of natural or anthropogenic origin are occurring, which often become crisis situations. Crisis management is set up to deal with these events and has the task of providing comprehensive preparation for their management. In recent years, crisis management authorities have been using non-governmental non-profit organizations to work together to contribute to crisis management, particularly in the provision of humanitarian assistance to the affected population. The diploma thesis focuses on crisis management authorities of territorial self-governing units and on non-governmental non-profit organizations, which are part of the South Bohemian Region Panel, which is a free association of participants and is established for the purpose of their coordination in providing forces, resources and activities to the South Bohemian Region in dealing with major emergencies and crisis situations. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the possibilities of cooperation between crisis management authorities and non-governmental non-profit organizations operating in the South Bohemian Region in deploying the forces and resources needed to deal with emergencies and crisis situations and cooperation of the above mentioned entities during the floods in 2013. In order to achieve the determined objective and obtain objective results, quantitative research was applied, using a questionnaire survey. It was applied to crisis management personnel of the municipality with extended powers within the South Bohemian Region. Furthermore, a qualitative research was conducted in the form of a controlled interview with representatives of non-governmental non-profit organizations who are members of the Panel of the South Bohemian Region. The information obtained from the non-profit organizations and the evaluation of the questionnaire survey from the crisis management personnel show that the research questions are answered positively, i.e. the cooperation between the above-mentioned entities worked without major problems in 2013. The crisis management authorities used assistance from non-governmental non-profit organizations to a greater extent in monitoring the situation, material assistance and manual assistance, to a lesser extent financial and psychosocial assistance. Thanks to the experience gained by the above-mentioned entities during the floods in 2013, but especially during previous major emergencies or crisis situations, there is a constant development in the area of cooperation between them. In order to improve mutual cooperation, there are training sessions, meetings and exercises organized by the South Bohemian Region, integrated rescue system units, non-profit organizations as well as crisis management personnel of the municipality with extended powers. The results of the analysis of the thesis can serve as a basis for increasing the efficiency and improving the cooperation in deploying forces and resources by crisis management authorities and non-governmental non-profit organizations, as well as study material.

Every day, the people can encounter a danger, which represents for them unexpected situations, such as various catastrophes, natural disasters, traffic accidents, or disasters accompanied by hazardous substances leakage. The emergence of crisis situations is mostly fast, unexpected, and in most cases these situations can't be averted before they hit. To alleviate the aftermaths of extraordinary events or crisis situations, the population preparedness is essential, mostly for them to know how to behave in such situations and help themselves and their close ones. The aim of the thesis was to find out the level of the preparedness of the residents of České Budějovice to survive a crisis situation and then compare the individual age categories. The level of preparedness was found out by a questionnaires and the results were then evaluated by the means of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of 25 questions, 16 of those questions were subjects to a statistical inquiry. The research set was formed of 466 residents of České Budějovice, who were then divided into individual age categories. The evaluation of the stated hypotheses was achieved mainly by the means of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The first hypothesis, claiming that the residents of České Budějovice are prepared for surviving a crisis situation, couldn't be accepted, because from the results of the statistical inquiry is apparent, that the preparedness of the residents is on a low level. However, the least prepared are residents aged 35 years and less, so the second hypothesis could be accepted. This master thesis can serve as a study material, which could be useful for further research in the field of preparedness of the residents of České Budějovice for an extraordinary event or crisis situation.

The main aim of this thesis is to analyze how the general public and registered churches are informed about the Psychosocial intervention team of the Czech Republic. In addition, the thesis focuses on the analysis of available sources of information about psychosocial intervention (aid) and crisis intervention in emergency situations. The churches were asked by using interviews with their representatives. These were mainly personal interviews, telephone communications, and e-mail correspondence. The awareness of the general public was identified by using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on the general information about the Psychosocial Intervention Team of the Czech Republic and emergency situations, in the second part of the questionnaire the questions were whether the respondents met with this team and in what case it was. This thesis is the first one that deals with the awareness about the Czech Psychosocial Intervention Team. It can therefore be used as a basis for further research on this topic. It has been found that the general public has some awareness of the Psychosocial Intervention Team, but it is at a very low level and only one of the 105 respondents has personally met with this team. As far as the churches are concerned, the awareness was higher, but only a few churches closely cooperate with this team. It should be noted that it would be desirable to deepen the awareness about this team by general public and to ensure better cooperation between this team and churches.

Voluntary activities have developed since the ancient time. From the beginning people had a need to help to their neighbours in unexpected situation which came suddenly because they could not manage to do it on their own. Non-state and non-profit organizations engage in the case of emergency and they are ready to help to citizens who are affected. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to define which non-state and non-profit organizations are situated in South Bohemia area and how they work during the emergency in South Bohemia. The work also evaluates if non-state and non-profit organizations are used sufficiently when the emergency comes. The first part of bachelor thesis is devoted to voluntariness and voluntary service. Then it pursues to fundamental groups of non-state and non-profit organizations which our legal code distinguishes. It speaks about associations, generally beneficial companies, institutions, foundations, foundation funds and church organizations. The author speaks about history and describes development of non-profit sector since Hussite revolution, Austrian Empire or Austro-Hungarian Empire, The First Republic, World War the Second, communistic and post-communistic period. Last but not the least the work deals with Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia. At the end of the theoretical part the bachelor thesis is focused on the term of emergency according to law. It characterizes elementary and the other groups of Emergency Services of integrated rescue system. It gives a definition of rescue and liquidation works, who carries them out and what are they for. As next it explains integrated rescue system documentation, alarm degrees and characterizes them shortly. It speaks about the difference between emergency and crisis situation. In the last part of the theoretical work are described relations among non-state and non-profit organizations and integrated rescue system. In the second part of this bachelor thesis is worked out the research of non-state and non-profit organizations which made an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia and are situated in South Bohemia. There are defined individual organizations, their characteristic and type of activity. In the table there are portrayed some received data about organizations. Bachelor thesis also speaks about analysis of potentially possible organizations for making an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia. By using of Fuller´s method it determines suitable criterions which can be used for appraisal and determination of non-state and non-profit organizations which are convenient subjects for making agreement. This work is based on this research question: are non-state and non-profit organizations in the South Region not underused during emergency events and crisis situations? When processing this work, current standards of scientific literature and studies were used. The research founded out using of non-state and non-profit organizations is high level. Due to making and agreement among representatives from South Bohemia and chosen non-state and non-profit organizations was established Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia which helps a lot to effective humanitarian help when emergency or crisis situation. It was also discovered there is evident rising trend in cooperation of non-state and non-profit organizations in integrated rescue system during the intervention in the Czech Republic. In South Bohemia cooperation during the intervention is not any difference in previous years. The exceptions are years 2008 and 2012 in which the cooperation mildly increased. In comparing of resulting percents are co-operations in the Czech Republic and in South Bohemia roughly in the same level. The research also discovered it is necessary to keep precise statistics for more effective appraisal of using of non-state and non-profit organizations during the emergency and crisis situation.

One of the duties of each municipality, regardless of the size of the administrative territory, number of citizens or type, is to protect its population against imminent danger, i.e. to be duly prepared for solution of extraordinary or crisis incidents that can affect the municipalities. I have chosen the name of the thesis, "Place and role of municipality bodies in preparation for extraordinary incidents and crisis situations" mainly due to the fact that, according to my experience, the area of safety is neglected and underestimated, or postponed, or the municipality bodies deal with this issue only marginally. Municipalities with extended competence or bigger municipalities have some advantage as they are better equipped in terms of staff, professionalism and material and a lot of tasks within preparation for extraordinary incidents and crisis situations are performed, for their benefit, by regional fire brigades. The first goal of the thesis consists in presenting the principles of working of the municipality and its bodies, in defining the duties and competences of the municipalities in extraordinary incidents and crisis situations. It consists further in drawing up a basic summary of legislative tools of territorial self-government units and their essential position within crisis management and safety system of the Czech Republic. The second goal consists in evaluating the crisis potential of the administrative territory of the municipality of Loučovice under use of crisis plan of the South Bohemian Region and of the crisis plan of the municipality with extended competence, Český Krumlov. The following research question was created to fulfil the goals of the thesis: Do risks and tasks of the municipality constitute a motive for the municipality bodies to elaborate a crisis preparedness plan? To answer the research question, I made use of specialized literature, lectures and legal standards. That allowed characterizing the public administration system with focus on the competence of territorial self-government units and their bodies when preparing for and dealing with extraordinary incidents. Subsequently, the safety risks of the municipality of Loučovice in case of potential danger to its territory were evaluated, and the acquired information served as base to elaborate a draft of crisis preparedness plan, as one of indispensable parts of crisis management, i.e. planning. The dangers and their causes were identified under use of the crisis plan of the South Bohemian Region, of the crisis plan of the municipality with extended competence, Český Krumlov, and of the extract from the plan of actions for protection of citizens under the Lipno I and II Dam against special flood for the municipality of Loučovice. Further important information was acquired thanks to the cooperation of the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemian Region, the employees of Povodí Vltavy, s. p., and from archive documents of the municipal authority. The own data collection served to elaborate a comprehensive document with a list of the most important tasks of self-government in preparation of and dealing with extraordinary incidents and crisis situations that will be used as a manual for the mayor and the bodies of the municipality of Loučovice within expansion of knowledge in the area of preparation for and dealing with extraordinary incidents and crisis situations. The practical part of the thesis includes the crisis preparedness plan of the municipality of Loučovice that can be used in case of emergence of and dealing with a crisis situation on the territory of the municipality. At the same time, the plan will be used for training of employees of the municipality and for familiarization of corporate bodies and citizens with the character of potential danger.

The present paper concerns the topic of regulatory transport management and focuses on the elaboration of an emergency plan of bridge no. 4 - 043 in Strakonice. This topic touches partly the field of transport management in crisis situations and should be part of the crisis plan for the extended municipal area of Strakonice. The objective of my bachelor thesis is to conduct an analysis of the transportation network within the area of the extended Municipality of Strakonice and to develop a proposition of an emergency plan in case of a closing of bridge no. 4 - 043 on road No. 4 in Strakonice, with a proposition of bypasses for traffic routing during the closing of Road No. 4 as well as traffic signaling for indication of the road closure as well as the bypasses. The proposition for the traffic signaling, which ought to be placed on the corresponding grounds shortly before the start of construction works on bridge no. 4 - 043, was elaborated according to the law, rightful norms and its corresponding regulations. The introduction of the paper describes the regulatory measures of rail traffic, road traffic and civil air traffic, as well as provisions of road management initiated in crisis situations. This paper also addresses the laws and responsibilities of the Ministry of Transport, the Regional Office, and the extended Municipal Authority of Strakonice, who are responsible for the road reparation and maintenance. Furthermore, this paper deals with the transport policy of the European Union designated to modernize the transport infrastructure in member states in order to correspond to the pan-European standards as well as to its role in the defense sector during the state of constant preparedness for the transition of normality to a state of crisis or a state of war demanding the defense of the state. The result of this bachelor thesis is the elaboration of an engineering transport management plan in case of a closing of bridge number 4 - 043, in which six specific traffic situations are applied to the closing of the bridge, the rerouting of traffic and the corresponding signaling communication. This engineering transport management is practically applicable in case of an actual closing of the bridge during construction works. Ultimately, the paper also addresses potential complications for the population of the city of Strakonice and nearby communities caused by higher traffic density due to the closing of the bridge. It was necessary to account for higher traffic density on the proposed bypasses. According to the official information of the Directorate of Roads and Highways, responsible for Road No. 4, there are no major construction works planned on bridge no. 4 - 043, neither are there any plans for its closure. The hereby presented bachelor thesis does not contain only theory but makes an actual practical contribution. It will support the Transport Department of the Municipality of Strakonice in the elaboration of their regulatory transport management and will be included in the crisis plan for the extended municipal area of Strakonice.

The topic of the thesis was mainly chosen, because in recent years many areas of the Czech Republic were repeatedly affected by floods of varying intensity and the police were forced to coordinate rescue and relief work with other units of the integrated rescue system (IRS). In practice performance-related police tasks were influenced by the quality of preparations (especially planning documentation) and decisions of the persons, who are entrusted with the rights and duties of coordinating the intervening units activities. At the same time no document, that deals with the issue, has been processed so far. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part is divided into three subsections. The first one aims to familiarize the reader with basic tasks, history, organizational breakdown and legislation governing the activities of the police. The second one examines ispecially the role of the integrated rescue system, its components, process and the role of emergency planning and related legislation. The last subchapter is devoted to crisis management, its bodies, related legislation and crisis planning. The practical part consists of a list of basic police tasks, which was created by analyzing documents prepared in the emergency and crisis planning for the capital city of Prague district. The police competences determined by the applicable effective legislation were subsequently applied to tasks of the list. The result of the above process was the finfing, which specific rules regulate the various police tasks, what specific permissions are officers abble to use to accomplish the task and where are the limits of their options. The aim of this thesis is to create a comprehensive document, that would contain the legal powers of the police and was especially useful in the practice of entities involved in the processing of emergency and crisis plans (including practical examples of the application of individual rights). In this context, there were formulated the following research questions: Suffers legislation of competencies of the Police of the Czech Republic from fragmentation (are the rights and obligations scattered in a number of legal norms)? Are police powers sufficient to perform all the tasks, which are imposed to this unit of the IRS by emergency and crisis plans processed for the capital city of Prague? The results of the thesis have shown that the legislation of the police activities is based on the amount of generally binding legal regulations, which are supplemented by internal regulations of the Ministry of Interior and the police themselves. Although the internal regulations don't have general applicability, they affect the performance of police tasks in practice as well. The fragmentation of legislation may cause an incorrect assessment of the police competencies by the bodies that are involved in emergency and crisis planning. By the coordination of the integrated rescue system activities, this documentation becomes one of the sources for decisions of incident commander or crisis management authority, resp. person standing at the head (especially the mayor or governor). In most cases these persons will not be experts in all relevant spheres and they will logically follow the documentation of the integrated rescue system, or documentation of crisis management. The quality of this documentation (or, conversely, lack thereof) will have practical impact on the success of the management of emergency events or crisis situations. Analysis of current documentation processed in the emergency and crisis planning for the capital city of Prague has shown, that most of the tasks assigned to the police corresponds to their competencies. There were also recorded some tasks that do not belong to the police competences. It involves the sorting of injured people by the START method and their transport to medical facilities by police vehicles.

In the diploma work, we familiarised the reader with the basic theoretical starting points concerning emergency medical services and preparedness for emergencies. First of all, in this part, we elaborated a basic overview of the organisational structure of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region, and of its subdivisions. Next, we outlined the educational system of the paramedical staff of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region, focused on the area of crisis management. The crisis management competence of paramedical staff involved in emergency medical services was the subject of a separate sub-chapter. We linked these chapters with the issue of the formation of the department of disaster medicine. Here, we defined the tasks and aims of disaster medicine. To create a better understanding of the issue, a part of the chapter consists of the basic terminology used in disaster medicine. The main aim of the diploma work is the analysis of the knowledge of the paramedical staff of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region in terms of preparedness for emergencies. The sub-objectives of the thesis are the analysis of the knowledge of the medical rescue workers of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region in terms of preparedness for emergencies, and the analysis of general nurses' knowledge of, and qualifications in, the specialist anaesthesiological-resuscitative care of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region in terms of preparedness for emergencies. The methodology of the work lay in the quantitative analysis of statistical data that we gathered from questionnaires that were filled in by randomly selected respondents among the paramedical staff of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region. We prepared the content of the questionnaire in the context of the issues studied. The respondents chose from a number of pre-defined answers to a total of 20 questions. The data obtained underwent statistical analysis with the use of statistical research methods, scaling, measurement in descriptive statistics, elementary statistical processing, non-parametric testing, estimation theory, and parametric testing. From the results of the practical part of the diploma work, it is evident that the knowledge of the medical rescue workers of the emergency medical services in terms of the preparedness for emergencies of the Ústecký kraj region is close to the normal frequency distribution N (mi and sigma). Also the general nurses' knowledge of, and qualification in, the specialist anaesthesiological-resuscitative care of the emergency medical services of the Ústecký kraj region, in terms of preparedness for emergencies, is close to the normal frequency distribution N (mi and sigma).

In the theoretical section of my master thesis I focused especially on the role of the health services within the crisis management. In particular chapters I tried to write down a simple and comprehensive summary of the role of the healthcare within the integrated rescue system, I dealt with the function of the Ministry of Health, the hierarchy of the healthcare in solving the emergencies, the valid law and the crisis preparedness in the healthcare. In one part of my master thesis I also mentioned the importance of testing the professional and practical readiness of particular units of the integrated rescue system by emergency exercises and the characterization of their individual types. Of course I could not omit the crisis planning and a brief description of some chosen types of plans that are used during emergencies.The goal of my thesis was to map the preparedness of the South-Bohemian Region inpatient healthcare facilities for possible emergencies in the respective facility or out of it and the medical staff´s awareness of possible risks and of possible solving the emergencies in the respective facility.In the practical section of my master thesis I used the methods of quantitative research. The technique of this research is based on the questionnaire survey with bounded, half-bounded and open questions. The questionnaire designated for medical staff consists of 23 questions. The first three questions are focused on the characterization of the respondents; the remaining twenty questions are to find out the stock of knowledge related to the crisis preparedness. The respondent gets one point for each correct answer to a knowledge question. This part of the questionnaire is composed as a multiple-choice test and one can get 43 points at most. The questions were created using the crisis plans that are valid in the České Budějovice Hospital. After our mutual agreement I took over the questionnaire designated for healthcare facilities from Mgr. Jolana Němečková, who analysed the crisis preparedness of the South-Moravian Region healthcare facilities in her master thesis. I did not change the method of questionnaire analysis either to enable a subsequent benchmarking of the results in the South-Moravian Region and the South-Bohemian Region. The questionnaire consists of 28 questions. One can get one point for a dichotomous question and two points for a closed-ended question. The highest possible score was 22 points. The results of the questionnaire survey for medical staff show that the preparedness of the České Budějovice Hospital´s medical staff is at a very good level. The average score was 37 out of 43 points and that complies with the classification 2. When analysing the relation of the preparedness with the highest achieved education level and the preparedness with the length of the practice, the positive correlation was confirmed. That means that the higher achieved education and the longer practice, the more was the knowledge of the respective area. The results of the questionnaire survey for the inpatient healthcare facilities management are not so positive. The average score was 12.3 and that complies almost with the classification 4, which means a bad preparedness. In comparison with the South-Moravian Region healthcare facilities, the preparedness in the South-Bohemian Region is one level worse. For the purposes of my master thesis I set four hypotheses that were proved or falsified during a follow-up statistical assessment. Hypotheses No. 1 and No. 2 cannot be accepted. Hypotheses No. 3 and No. 4 were accepted.

More and more frequent vagaries of the weather, repeated natural disasters, increasing environmental pollution, industry expansion, overpopulation of the planet, religious disturbances, terrorist attacks, wars ? all this and much more matters to the whole human society. The terms such as ?emergency event? and ?crisis situation? are used hand in hand with this in the mass media on a daily basis. In particular, public protection was shaped by the World Wars and the so-called Cold War in the 20th century. Terrorism, uses of nuclear core and religious come into play in the 21st century. Advanced societies, like the Czech Republic, have responded to such a development by adopting a number of measures, creating lots of legal documents, establishing an integrated rescue system designed for managing emergency events. Professionalism of the integrated rescue system keeps improving. But what about an individual who the mentioned events also matter to? What information do the children have nowadays, would they be able to react correctly in emergencies, would they be able to give first aid in a right way? As for teaching public protection, how have the schools adopted themselves to the new era? History and the present of the development of the public protection are described in the theoretical part of the presented thesis. he public protection is viewed within the context of the present days and society i.a. in relation to the multinational organizations and European Community. The description of the school system of teaching public protection is the main linchpin of the theoretical part of the thesis. Guidance Notes by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (the ?MŠMT?) ref. No. 12 050/03-22 to include the topic of protection of man in emergencies into the educational programmes and Guidance Notes by the MŠMT ref. No. 13 586/03-22 Protection of Man in Emergencies ? Amendment to the Teaching Materials for Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Special Schools and Colleges of 4 March 2003 are the main regulations in this area. Following these documents, the level of cooperation between schools and the integrated rescue system in relation to the comprehensive teaching in the area of public protection in theory is described in the thesis. A hypothesis has been defined for the diploma thesis: Preparedness of primary school pupils in České Budějovice in the area of public protection is only basic. In order to confirm or disapprove this hypothesis, 14 primary schools in České Budějovice founded by the Statutory Town of České Budějovice were addressed in the research part of the thesis. After finding out what the situation at the individual schools is, a selective statistical set of 150 pupils was selected from the set of 28 years 9 of the above-mentioned primary schools and 681 pupils using a stratified sampling method. They were presented with a standard test originating from the test for year 9 outlined in accordance with the guidance notes by the MŠMT and the document ?Documents for Teaching the Issues of Protection of Man in Common Risk Areas and Emergencies at Primary Schools?. Basic methods of descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the test. The hypothesis was not confirmed, which is accounted for in detail in the final part of the thesis. The evaluation of the test results shows significantly better than just pupils? basic knowledge in the area of public protection. Zero hypothesis has been accepted on the basis of the experimental test and the empirical classification was replaced by the theoretical common classification i.e. Gauss curve. The intention of the use in practice has been to offer the thesis results to the primary schools for self-reflection, comparison and expansion or enrichment of the teaching plans. The participating schools were interested in being provided with the individual results already while processing the tests and in this respect they were satisfied.

This diploma thesis on social impacts of disasters and their solutions deals with disasters that have accompanied the mankind from the very beginning, their impacts and the effective solutions of such impacts. The theoretical section, in the first chapter, introduces the concept of disaster and it describes disasters that struck the Earth in the past and endangered substantially human lives. The second chapter is devoted to disasters of the 21st century and is divided into two parts. The first part of the second chapter deals with disasters of the 21st century in the world, including the current situation in Japan and the other part introduces major disasters of the 21st century in our country. The third chapter of the theoretical section focuses on the characteristics of basic disasters that may occur in the Czech Republic. The fourth chapter informs us about the impact and consequences of extraordinary events and crisis situations in the Czech Republic and about their solutions. This chapter introduces us to the way the Czech Republic addresses social impacts of disasters, which are an important factor in determining the seriousness of disasters. The concept of social impacts of disasters includes not only the loss of life or property, but also reduced ability of self-support of people affected by disasters caused by closing down businesses and their decreased work ability. The last chapter of the theoretical section, chapter five, deals with the role and responsibilities of state authorities and local governments during extraordinary events and crisis situations. This thesis aims at specifying social impacts of disasters and to propose some solutions. The results of quantitative research using questionnaire survey showed that we can confirm working hypothesis no. one, i.e. that one of the major impacts of disasters are social impacts. The thesis also includes research conducted using the method of guided interviews thanks to which we can confirm the second working hypothesis, i.e. that dealing with the impact takes place mostly in the reconstruction period after the crisis situation. Knowledge obtained while working on this thesis may serve as a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the Czech Republic in terms of dealing with social impacts of disasters.

In my diploma thesis, I focused on the issues related to preparedness in the field of fire protection and the protection of the population in newly established municipalities with extended powers. Within the survey, I sent out 205 questionnaires to the municipalities with extended powers throughout the Czech Republic. In correspondence with the representatives of municipalities with extended powers, I noticed in their responses more than apparent differences, especially in open questions.

In the past decades, not only natural disasters, but also other extreme events have threatened the mankind and people have to be ready to solve these events. Extreme events can be caused by the unpredictable weather such as floods and freshets, epidemics, bulk infections of animals, fires, explosions, toxic substance release into the air, collective accidents in the traffic, interruption of supply of electric power, water, gas, heating, collapse of telecommunication and information net, radiation emergency, terrorist attacks etc. It is not possible to underestimate extreme events and it is necessary to thoroughly prepare on the possibility of their occurence and on precautions in connection with their removal, eventually with the elimination of their consequences. Regarding to the fact, that the inhabitans of the town of Český Krumlov are endangered by potential extreme events all the time, in the past decades these have been mainly floods and other natural disasters, that is why the organs of crisis task force and the bodies of IRS (Integrated Rescue Service) have to be maximally prepared to solve such events. Nevertheless the primary aim is the protection of people {--} the protection of their lives, health, properties, but also the protection of infrastructure and environment is important. That all is also related with maximal readiness and awareness of the population of potential risks of occurence of extreme events. Only in this case, the people would be able to behave correctly in the given situations and therefore intensify their security. On the base of results of the quantitative research and the subject analysis, it has been found out, that inhabitans of the town of Český Krumlov are not prepared on eventual occurence of extreme events at all and they are not offered any possibilities how to get the necessary information. That is why I have suggested arrangements how to eliminate these problems, in general how to improve the communication and the standart of providing services to the inhabitants concerning the field of eventual occurence of extreme events. These arrangements can serve for bodies of crisis task force managment so that they could be inspired in how to intesify the quality of security and how to better the crisis mamagement of the town of Český Krumlov.

This diploma thesis ``Determining the number of citizens that will be evacuated in the case of a serious, extraordinary event or a crisis situation{\crq}q aims to assess the level of awareness of the residents of the South Bohemia Region about evacuation and those risks in their surroundings, especially to detect just how many people (families) would chose to spontaneous evacuate themselves in the event of an extraordinary event or crisis situation and how many residents would do so with the provision of transport. This information has been obtained by means of questionnaires. In the description of the current situation, there is an overview of the laws and the establishment of the basic concepts related to evacuation. The practical part deals with the evaluation of questionnaires that were distributed to the residents of the South Bohemia Region, and there is also a summary of this information within a comprehensive overview, including the division of the point of view between men and women, and the assessment of these results within the District of South Bohemia Region. Preventative educational work among the population will contribute to the appropriate behaviour during these extraordinary events, which will assist the authorities in providing for the successful accomplishment of this evacuation. These good practices will reduce the health risks of people and will also prevent material and financial loss.

The goal of my thesis was to provide a basic and comprehensive picture of the territory of the town of Tábor, and to describe how the characteristics influence the possibility of occurrence of extraordinary events and crisis situations, including the follow-up ways to solve these situations. Another goal of my thesis was to present a picture of the possibilities of occurrence of selected and particular extraordinary events and crisis situations, including the identification of the readiness level of the crisis management authorities of the town of Tábor for these events. In the final part there are findings and information based on which we can state that the hypotheses were confirmed. Based on the characteristics of the town of Tábor, which influence the occurrence of unfavourable events and their solutions, the level of readiness of the town for these events is considered to be good, and currently additional new measures are taken to stabilise and improve this readiness.

In the first part of the bachelor thesis I covered historical development of population protection, basic terms used in crisis management, protection of population, integrated rescue system, crisis management, crisis management bodies, management of extraordinary events and crisis conditions and a list of extraordinary events and crisis conditions which may potentially occur in České Budějovice and Prachatice. Drawing on legislation, professional literature, my own personal interviews and practice, I have compiled basic material in which I deal with planning in events of crises, because it is the first manager task and is indispensable for the solution of extraordinary events and crisis states. In the following two chapters, I deal with the general procedure of the solution of extraordinary events and crisis situations (before and while they occur, during their solution and after these situations die away) and crisis legislation.

Evacuation is known to be the most effective measure in protection of the population, particularly when completed before an extraordinary event occurs. Sheltering of population in permanent and improvised shelters would be of major importance in case of a war conflict. This bachelor thesis seeks to clarify the terms of evacuation and sheltering and all activities associated therewith and to evaluate the status of their assurance. The chapter dealing with the current status contains the basic terms relating to those measures and a brief description of evacuation and its classification. It also describes sheltering of the population and an overview of individual types of shelters, including improvised shelters. The chapter also includes an overview of basic legal standards associated with this issue. The following chapters deal directly with evacuation and sheltering plans. Each plan is described, including an outline of individual organizational measures and responsibilities for their execution. The thesis uses the current legal standards and the current concept of protection of the population as a baseline.

The theme of my diploma thesis is the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. In my diploma thesis I am involved in the issue of the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. I assume that the utilization of the potential of the volunteers is one of the possibilities of the acquisition of the forces, which could be used for the recovery of the consequences, post-traumatic care to struck persons and other activities within the solution to the accidents, all parallelly with the actions of the professional teams of the integrated rescue system bodies. The needs of the population in case of the accidents are rather differentiated, and the engagement of the volunteers completes the appointed forces and means of the integrated rescue system bodies. At present time, the adequate legal framework, modifying the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents, does not exist in the Czech Republic. Non-governmental non-profit organizations are united in the South-Moravia region into the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, which establishes the platform and enables the South-Moravia Region more effective engagement of the non-governmental non-profit organizations. The volunteers, organized in the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, are engaged in the solution to the accidents and the trainings organized in the level of the region, municipalities with widened competence and the integrated rescue system bodies.

Nowadays more and more new chemicals are used for numerous technologies and ap-plications by diverse chemical, plastic processing and other companies. Are all such companies fit to manage and solve chemical breakdowns, extraordinary events and critical or even emergency situations? Surely a very interesting question. Therefore I have decided for my study to analyse a crisis management system of a plastic processing company located in the City of Liban, region Hradec Kralove. Current status of coordination of the integrated rescue system (hereinafter referred to as the "IZS"). Classification of hazardous chemical substances. Simulating of extraordinary events using the software tool TerEx with respect to diverse chemicals operated by and within the Company. Evaluation of selected chemical substances according to hazards induced. Risk analysis, Analysis of occurrance of extraordinary events like e. g. windstorm, fire or escape of dangerous chemical substance, disconnecting of supply medium (heat, energy, power, water) and their treatment. Methods of actions at threat of bomb attack. Determination whether the IZS coordination including of the documentation elaborated are satisfactory with respect to the plastic processing company as well as with respect to successful mastering of extraordinary and emergency situations. Crisis management of business economics and economic distress.

Life on our planet does not exist without risks. Nobody is protected against extraordinary events and crisis situations. Except for enormous traffic accidents and natural disasters such as floods, fires, windstorms, landslides and avalanches there are also probable accidents with leakage of dangerous chemical substances in the Czech Republic. Above listed probable situations require immediate reaction and in many cases their solution raises the need of communication with public. In the Czech Republic there was for this purpose created a system of crisis management, which carries out prevention and correction of crisis situations and during crisis outbreak exercises specific procedures leading to reduction of crisis effect. Integral part of activities is the area of information flow (crisis communication) including informedness of general public. The result of above described activity is the plan of communication with public. With respect to the fact that no rule of law solves the content and structure of this document, my proposal results from accessible scientific literature, performed analysis of chosen municipalities and consultation with professionals on this topic. Information is the base of all events, however they are useless if the do not reach these who were they addressed to. That is why their transfer should play the main part when carrying out precautionary measures against extraordinary events and crisis situations as well as in the time of crisis situation solution.

The theme of my graduation thesis is {\clqq}Community association usable for resolution of emergency events and crisis situations`` and I have choosen that because of its important. I almost was not able to imagine how spread theme this is. I have known some Community associations in the Czech Republic but I have never known more information about its work expect they work to help people in emergency events and crisis situations. That`s all. Nowadays we all meet strange situations and risks almost every day. It can be caused by human factor (wildfire, outflow chemicals) or by nature`s effects (earthquake, strong storm, flood) and we all are unprotected. And we also don{\crq}t know when human factor or nature`s effects attack again. In these situations we have some State Services which constitute Crisis management and Integration Rescue System to analyse, solve and to help people in these situations. Next help for people affected by emergency events and crisis situations are Community associations usable for their resolutions. And this is the most important point my work is all about. All af these associations are made to help people. That is the main reason to rise it. My work in my graduation thesis is to analyse out present-day situation and methods of registered procedures. I wanted to discover people{\crq}s awareness and knowledges about these associations and finally to evaluate time behaviour of the real situation with model simulations.
