Mass Health Damage ? the Emergency Medical Service Operating Procedure when in Terrain The bachelor work topic is the procedure of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) during the mass health damage. Though it concerns the EMS procedures only, we should not forget the work of the other integrated rescue forces, e.g. the Police, and the Firemen squad. The cooperation of these is quite usual during the mass health damage intervention, and good-working emergency system guarantees the effective dealing with the emergency states. For the best dealing though, the emergency medical rescuers are very important to orienteer in the concrete event issues. The theory concerns the complex issues of the mass health damage. At the very beginning, the main terms such as emergency state are defined. A short excursion to the history of the Disaster Medicine proceeds. There we can trace the very first procedures of the pre-hospital care during the war conflicts, and the first aid steps which are still up-to-date in today?s practice. Because of the out-standing significance of the good-working cooperation within the emergency system, the part of the work concerns the emergency system itself. Next chapters deal with the real operating procedures of the EMS at the field of the mass health damage and with the injuries sorting methods. The practice was focused on the mapping of the practical knowledge of the rescuers, concerning the mass health damage. The survey was realized quantitatively, using anonymous questionnaires. The data was collected from February till April 2013. The basic research aggregate for the data-collecting were the members of EMS working at the position of medical rescuer, branch Southern-Bohemian. The research questionnaires were spread electronically, and in pencil-paper form, too. There were 150 questionnaires sent in total, 76, 6% came back, it means 115 were filled in the proceeding research evaluation. The respondents were informed about the research aim and the rule of anonymity before inquiring. The questionnaires consisted of 20 closed one-choice questions. Questions 1 to 6 were only formal, serving the closer knowledge of the respondent. Questions 7 to 20 were to find about the respondent?s knowledge concerning the issues of the mass health damage. Those we used for the next verifying of the hypothesis. It says that the members of EMS have sufficient knowledge of the mass health damage procedures. The data we gained were subsequently assessed, each question was evaluated separately and the data was put into the graphs and tables. These show bot, the relative and the absolute frequency of gained answers. The defined hypothesis was statistically evaluated using the Chi test. The resulting level of significance rejected the null hypothesis and thus confirmed the hypothesis H1, which says that awareness of emergency medical services crews on the procedures for collective impairment of health is sufficient. The aim of the bachelor?s work was to map the procedures and knowledge concerning the mass health damage. The respondents were the medical rescuers. This aim was fulfilled. The statistic evaluation of the questioning and the confirmed hypothesis show on the fact, that the medical rescuers have the basic knowledge concerning the mass health damage procedures.

Negativní dopad mimořádných událostí vyvolaných přírodními nebo antropogenními vlivy na veřejnou a soukromou infrastrukturu měst a obcí se v posledních desetiletích ve srovnání s průběhem velké části 20. století zvyšuje. Zejména se zvyšuje počet přírodních povodňových událostí velkého rozsahu, při kterých je nutno vyhlašovat různé stupně krizového řízení pro zvládnutí situace. Jednou ze základních možností jak snížit nebezpečí nezvládnutí mimořádné události je včasná a profesionální prevence uskutečněná na ekonomicky přijatelném stupni pro každý úsek infrastruktury, který může být mimořádnou událostí ohrožen. Jak daného cíle dosáhnout na úseku provozování vodovodů a kanalizací pro veřejnou potřebu v České republice při vzniku přírodních událostí naznačuje v základním rozsahu následující příspěvek. The adverse effect of extraordinary events induced by natural or anthropogenic factors on public and private infrastructure of towns and villages has increased during the last decades in comparison with the 20th century. Especially, the number of natural floods of large extent has increased. These floods require various levels of crisis management. One of the basic options how to decrease the risk of unsuccessful crisis management is well-timed and professional prevention. The prevention should be realized on the economically acceptable level for each section of the infrastructure which could be threatened by extraordinary event. This paper deals how to achieve the aim in the field of operation of public water supply systems and sewerage nets in the Czech Republic during the inception of natural events.

This diploma thesis deals with problematic of emergency medical service preparedness in the Czech Republic, in the place of disaster and during this situation especially in bus accident with large number of injuries and casualties. Bus accident can create high risk of forming mass disaster due to many people transported in small area with low safety components. High risk of many injuries and casualties with chaotic first call make hard decision to activate plans to solve this situation for emergency services. Theoretical part of diploma thesis maps transformation of Czech paramedic system organization from districts to regions and new legislations for emergency medical service that solve preparedness, organization and duties during large incidents. Due to this new legislations were formed offices for emergency preparedness which ensure this preparedness. Practical part of diploma thesis is analysis of Czech paramedic preparedness that solve bus accidents as disaster. For this analysis were used data from regional emergency medical service headquarters (EMS HQ) - bus accident reports, drills for staff and special material equipments. But only 3 EMS HQ provided acceptable data and 1 EMS HQ partly acceptable data. Aim of this study is assessment in preparedness change for disaster during examined time (2000 - 2011) and comparison of real event to training drills. This part of thesis is supplied by statistic data (transformed into graphs) of bus accidents with injuries and casualties from department of Transportation Police of the Czech republic and Fire Rescue Service Directorate. Whole practical part is made by analysis of primary (documents, EMS HQ personal visits) and secondary information (information servers, journals). Within this analysis was made evaluation of Czech emergency medical preparedness for bus accidents with large number of injuries and casualties. This analysis shows that in area of the Czech Republic is missing central directorate for Czech paramedic system. Which is shown in varying material, drill and whole preparedness for disaster situation. This problem is also made by new legislation that were not here before (law for emergency medical system and law notices). High variation of equipments and procedures in solving disasters can cause difficulties during accident intervention on the borders of paramedic regions. For comparison to other countries preparedness is in this thesis mentioned Poland - special training course for specialist in disaster management, USA - Medical Alert Center (MAC) and Israel - control system for disaster drills.

The frequency of emergency incidents and the expanding spectrum of all possible mass casualties require preventive and safety precautions and fast professional respond to their occurrence. Emergency prevailing medical complication requests from Medical Rescue Service providers a different attendance to intervention than is usually requested in their daily routine activities. Daily routines of Medical Rescue Service providers include medical treatments of one or two patients using urgent care medicine methods, which present a full medical treatment to a particular patient from the first contact to their handing over to other medical services providers. In emergencies with mass casualties? incidence, it is impossible to attend one particular patient at a time, but it is necessary to adjust priorities in medical attendance to patients in dispatch and as well to transfer all patients to other medical service provider facilities. Shall there be an emergency with mass casualties, there are few concomitant circumstances in their solving, and these are: lack of time for decision making and rescue works co-ordination, panic, delay in treatment and transport of patients to other medical facilities. Especially at the rescue work start of all integrated rescue system units, forces and equipments are insufficient, as for example lack of professional medical staff, rescuer and medical equipment including medicaments. The ration of rescue forces and medical equipment to a number of patients optimizes in following process, when a successful outcome is conditioned by the rescue work in the first thirty to sixty minutes. It is, thus, very important to paying attention to the organization and control of rescue works of all integrated rescue units right from the start. An intergrated rescue system is mentioned in theoretical part of the thesis. On the strenght of valid legislation, the provider of Medical Rescue Service is generally described, particularly focused on preparedness and solving of emergency incidents by the Medical Rescue Service of South Bohemia. Furthermore, the organisation trauma plan,the START asset classification of casualties with the follow-up method using identification and sorting cards (medical classification) are described. The theoretical part of thesis is closed up by an outlined exterior emergency plan of the nuclear power plant Temelin with focus on its trauma plan related to the Medical Rescue Service of South Bohemia activities solving emergency situation in the connection with an outflow of radioactive substance. The thesis was written on the ground of a qualitative research using the method of a semi-led interview of seven superintendant medical doctors of Medical Rescue Service from different areas in South Bohemia. The content of the research was an evaluation of possible development and potentional changes in preparing and also consequential activities of medical units at emergency situations with mass casulties. Research questionaire was focused on competence and funcion of medical dispatching centre, establishing work process of first paramedics attending at the place of an emergency situation, also co-operation of medical units with other units of an integrated rescue system and as well the tie-in system to other medical facilities. The aim of the research was establishing hypotheses in terms of Medical Rescue Service of South Bohemia preparadness to solution of emergency situations. Created hypotheses attached to a chapter ¨Discussion¨ may be verified, in the future, by a quantitative research. Other thesis aims are included in attachment part. It represents an interpretation of tactical and testing practise of Medical Rescue Service of South Bohemia from 2006 to 2012 and topics focused on emergency incidents and mapping incidence and solution of emergency incidents with mass casualties in South Bohemia region from 2003 to 2012.

The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the opinion of South Bohemian region inhabitants on activities of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) other emergency services in rescue and relief work in emergency situations and find out the resulting level of inhabitants safety. The whole study was designed to analyze the data collected by questionnaire survey and to obtain relevant information about the opinion of the South Bohemian region inhabitants on the work of the Army of the Czech Republic, the Czech Red Cross and the municipal police within IRS. A questionnaire survey seemed to be the best way how to get relevant information. The pilot study helped to identify the three other emergency services of IRS in the opinion of the inhabitants. At a subsequent questionnaire survey the research sample was 50 respondents from each of seven South Bohemian districts, a total of 350 respondents from districts České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Jindřichův Hradec, Písek, Prachatice, Strakonice and Tábor. The results of this research show that three quarters of respondents do not exactly know the term "other emergency services of IRS", despite the fact that some of the respondents have personal experience with the intervention of some other emergency services of IRS during an emergency situation. So it can be concluded that the South Bohemian region inhabitants have more awareness of the IRS as a whole, but they are no longer sufficiently familiar with its structure. To increase the level of knowledge about the structure of the IRS?s components I recommend to include more detailed information about this topic in the primary school curriculum. It also proposes to increase public awareness about IRS structure through media campaigns. Activities of the Army of the Czech Republic within IRS were judged as very helpful and on quite sufficient level. Individuals who have had personal experience with - 5 - the intervention of soldiers such as rescue, relief work and evacuation, evaluate their help as efficient and very professional. The personal experience with the help of the Czech Red Cross in emergency situations (especially floods) has one quarter of respondents. Red Cross Humanitarian units helped in these cases mainly with the provision of emergency accommodation and catering. Czech Red Cross was also focused on the collecting and distributing of humanitarian aid. Almost 86% of respondents judged these activities as very professional and efficient. Respondents are not convinced about sufficiently help of municipal police in the case of emergency situation. Some of them rate it as rather weak. Likewise, they considered that each municipal police in South Bohemian region have some reserves in facilities such as car park. However, 41% of respondents agree that the quality of the activities of this emergency service is increasing in the last few years. My recommendation in this case refers to an increase in the number of service cars. Based on the obtained data, the ranking of other emergency services of IRS was compiled according to their significance in respondents? opinion. On the first three positions are these emergency service - Army of the Czech Republic, municipal police, Czech Red Cross. Summary of the obtained information indicates a positive finding that the three analyzed other emergency services of IRS are very helpful in protection of health, life and property of the inhabitants of South Bohemian region within the IRS activities. However, I believe that my recommendations presented in this study may contribute to further improving the performance of the three analyzed emergency services so that their perception of the South Bohemian region inhabitants can achieve an even higher level in the future.

The priority is to protect human life and health at present. For this reason it's necessary that cooperation of IRS components tooks place at the highest level. The IRS is cooperation of all its components, including judicial officers as part of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic, ie armed security force and basic IRS. I am interested in the issue, how can and if a judicial guard somehow work with the basic components of the IRS. The main task of the judicial guard is guarding and protection of the courts and the judiciary in the Czech Republic. During the writing the thesis when I quoted from the emergency preparedness plans of all possible emergencies that may appear on the district courts I had various ideas and scenarios in my head. What exactly to do, how to react,how all the other members or employees of the court would react. And, of course, how we would cooperate with the Fire Brigade, Ambulance Service and Police of the Czech Republic (CR). For the above reasons, I have set the main aim, ie to determine the scope of cooperation between the judicial guards and the components of IRS. To define the different types of emergencies, to characterize individual procedures and IRS measures aimed at preventing the emergence and spread of harmful forces and phenomena. I want to achieve the goal by studying the legislation related to the topic, studying coordination agreements and by my personal analysis. To determine the main objectives of the work which is the scope of cooperation, I use short questionnaires dealt among nine commanders of local judicial security units in South Bohemia. They have all been in office relatively long time so there is a presumption that the questions are answered according to their previous experience. I put approximately ten to twelve questions into the questionnaire. I ask the commanders a few supplementary oral questions to find out what emergency mostly occur, what was the most extraordinary event and how their electronic alarm systems and fire alarm systems function. Then the questions are processed according to given answers. By other study of co-ordination agreements, if any, I will learn their content. After a complete analysis of the collected data I compare the results with set hypothesis. The only cooperation on the basis of cooperation agreement is signed between JG and Police. If they request assistance of patrol police patrol, and it occurs on average four times to twelve times in a year, which is not common. As shown by the results of the investigation, cooperation with the police is the most common. It is followed by cooperation with the medical rescue service. Two-thirds of the commanders said they use the support once to three times a year, in one case was ever used. At least with working with the fire brigade. Again, two thirds commanders said they support using once to three times a year, but three commanders did not use it in any case. Fortunately, information from the interviews revealed that in most cases there occur incidents such as guard minor assault, petty theft, and assistance in disorder and the identification of persons, notices imposing explosives, failure of safety systems, fall of the snow from roofs or health problems requiring medical treatment. Large-scale emergencies are rare. That does not mean that they can not occur. We must be ready for them as well. The contents of crisis documentation are good, although some of the procedureand measures would be appropriate to update and modify with the detailed instructions. Judicial guard is required to follow them in case of emergency, content is sufficient and therefore I did not find any serious reason for them to be adopted for other legal standards. The cooperation between IRS and judicial officers is at a level that is sufficient to deal with small-scale emergencies.

After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the national defence education program was terminated. Since it played an important role in the education of the population it was eventually restored in 2003 at primary and secondary schools when a general education program of national defence was introduced. The extend of the education was agreed for 6 hour per year, however, it was not clear in which school subject this matter should be addressed. Since then the government succeed in issuing several conceptual guides describing the outline of the education for both pupils and teachers. The guarantor of the program became the General Directorate of Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, who publishes a large number of training documents. Soon after, the issue is also dealt by the civilian sector that gradually increases numbers of manuals and textbooks focusing on the theme of population protection. Consequently in 2012, they succeed in introducing a compulsory subject called "Human Protection in Emergency Situations" at pedagogical faculties. These progressive measures target to improve a teaching methods and a general education at primary and secondary schools in the area of population preparedness to deal with an emergency situations such as floods or hazardous substances leakage from threatening factories. This work focuses on a level of preparedness of students and teachers in a primary and secondary schools, which are located in areas with a thread of leakage, conflagration or possible explosions. The first theoretical part focuses on the history of a protection of a population in the world and consequently in the Czech Republic. History significantly affects this area. Therefore a considerable portion of a theoretical part has been dedicated to it. In the next section the impact of the current legislation laws to protect the population have been analysed. This analysis focuses especially on laws which are most vital for this field. Following section points out, which governmental and non-governmental institutions have the highest responsibility for the primary and secondary education, the level of population preparedness and the knowledge in the area of the studied subject. The last part of the theoretical work analyses the environment in which the sociological research had been conducted. It contains more information about schools in which the survey had been performed by means of questionnaires. The main purpose of this chapter is to point out the characteristics of the schools. Another part analyses the territory in which the schools are located, their capacity, diversity of students, especially weather there are non-Czech speaking or handicapped pupils, or within which time zone the schools are. All schools also support various extracurricular activities, and the thematic group activities. Based on my practical experience from the lectures I pre-set the level of the students and teachers? preparedness in case of extraordinary events within threatening company is low or almost unsatisfactory. Consequently, the respondents undertook 10 test questions. In the practical part of this work, the questionnaire survey was assessed both by means of statistical methods and a thorough analysis of the individual questions answered. To simplify the evaluation, statistical methods were used by means of negating hypotheses of the proposition. In other words, the level of the preparedness will be satisfactory. Subsequent evaluation of the sociological research revealed that the level is satisfactory at all schools. In general, both students and teachers achieved overall pleasing results. The results of the survey will be provided to the Fire Rescue Service of the Pardubice Region to utilize them to streamline all the activities related to the education of students of the surveyed schools.

This work focuses on finding state of preparedness of hospitals with acute inpatient care in the Pardubice region in the case of a direct threat to the Pardubice Regional Hospital, Inc. (hereinafter "PRH") by chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear agents (hereinafter referred to as "CBRN"). The thesis is based on a comparison between the trauma plans that have been established as an indicator of a preparedness of hospitals in case of mass disaster and the legal standard, i.e. Decree No. 101 of 2012 Sb. dealing with the details of the content of trauma plan of the one-day or inpatient medical care and process for its preparation and negotiation, as amended (hereinafter the "Decree 101 of 2012"). The theoretical work describes the applicable laws governing the conditions for the provision of health care, trauma plan content and procedures of the Emergency Service (ES) components in preparation for dealing with emergencies. The next part discusses the characteristics of CBRN agents. Furthermore, the work focuses on defining terrorism and CBRN terrorism. The chapter also includes a brief historical summary of the use of CBRN agents and their threats. The following section describes the Security System of the Czech Republic and its elements. It is crucial to mention its existence in relation to the prevention of emergencies and crisis situations and elimination of their consequences. This part also introduces a selection of documents, which have a direct relationship to the security policy of the country and to this thesis. It may be noted that most of these documents have been prepared, inter alia, on the basis of current CBRN threats. The penultimate section characterizes individual hospitals with acute inpatient care in the Pardubice region and includes also a risk analysis of this region. The analysis is based on the Emergency Plan of Pardubice region. I believe that the knowledge of the possible threats pointed out in the risk analysis is important in a preparation for an emergency response in the relation to an emergency medical care. Analysis of risks and threats, based on the Decree 101 of 2012, is also a part of the trauma hospital plans. The last part of the thesis describes the different types of trauma plans and certain procedures in the process of an activation of these plans. Even though, the theme of the work is focused more on trauma plans of hospitals, in cooperation with ambulance services and regional authorities in addressing the consequences of emergencies, I find it important to pay attention to a trauma plan for emergency medical services, and also the one, which is part of the emergency plan of the region. Based on the practical experience it was decided the readiness of hospitals with acute inpatient care in the Pardubice region in case of a threat PRH is sufficient. Subsequently, a relative comparison of interdependence trauma plans was performed in selected hospitals to evaluate their index of readiness by means of comparative analysis. The overall index IPi scales the state of preparedness of the hospitals. The input parameter?s values for the index evaluation were determined based on the contents of the trauma plans. The concluding chapter presents the results evaluated by the described method. This uncovered that the degree of readiness of the examined hospitals, based on the mentioned parameters, was insufficient in three cases. Only Chrudimska Hospital, Inc. achieved satisfactory results. Based on these results, the specific measures were recommended to be taken the level of preparedness of the hospitals. The findings and the results of this thesis are mainly practical. The most important benefit of this work is the suggested measures for the activation of trauma plans for hospitals with acute inpatient care in the Pardubice region.

Police of the Czech Republic provides for declaration of an emergency or crisis situation many activities. For the successful implementation of these activities must be appropriately trained police staff and to provide appropriate conditions for carrying out these tasks. An integral part of providing adequate conditions of police personnel and logistical support. This work provides a study of available literature and law basic picture of the logistical support of the Police in dealing with a crisis situation, which is described in the first part. Using quantitative research in the form of an anonymous survey validates the level of logistical support to the Police of the Czech Republic. The sample was composed of the officers of district police department of various regions of the Czech Republic. The sample consisted of rank and file police officers, as well as heads of district police department. A questionnaire survey during the first three questions focused on the characteristics of the sample. Another part of the questionnaire assessed, among other things, whether the respondents participated in a crisis situation, whether they are satisfied with the equipment your department, your company vehicles and their personal resources to tasks in dealing with crisis situations. Subsequently, respondents are asked whether they accomplish tasks in dealing with crisis situations and receive food and rest assured that they are by the employer in the event of damage to equipment and facilities these parts replaced and whether they changed equipment before its expiration time. The last section of the questionnaire addresses the information to carry out treatment (intervention), the possibility of connection points emergencies, providing medical services respondents and provide training with legislative changes well in advance. Based on the study of available literature in the thesis are defined in terms of crisis management, emergency, crisis situation and found there is a parallel between these concepts and the concept of logistic support. In the second part describes the methodology and hypotheses. The third part consists of the results. The final part consists of discussion, where they are analyzed achievements work. To achieve the objectives of the work in this work used methods of data collection, analysis, mathematical and graphical. When writing a thesis, I first studied the literature in logistics and logistical support and the study of the legislation, which serves as the legal basis for the logistical support of the Police of the Czech Republic in dealing with crisis situations. When choosing a topic for this bachelor thesis I stated hypothesis "Logistical support the Police of the Czech Republic is at a good level." This hypothesis was disproved in the thesis.

Příspěvek se zabývá ochranou obyvatelstva nacházejícího se uvnitř obchodního centra v situaci, kdy dojde uvnitř objektu k rozptylu toxické látky. Bezpečnostní opatření byla zpracována na základě monitorování šíření rozptýleného amylacetátu při experimentálních měřeních. Za reálných provozních podmínek byly v obchodním centru uskutečněny dva experimenty kopírující myšlení útočníků zneužít objekt s cílem usmrtit osoby v něm se nacházející. Z vyhodnocených experimentálních závislostí byly navrženy zásady ochrany pro obyvatelstvo nacházející se uvnitř objektu při úniku nebezpečné chemické látky. This paper deals with the protection of the population located inside a shopping center in a situation, when toxic substance is dispersed inside the building. Security measures had been prepared on the basis of monitoring the spread of amylacetate during experimental measurements. Under real operating conditions in the shopping center were realized two experiments replicating thinking attackers to exploit object for killing people. The evaluated experimental dependence conducted to creating protective measures in a public building, which lead to minimization of consequences in case of chemical attack inside public building.

This thesis deals with researching and mapping the humanitarian aid provided to foreign countries and with involving into the international rescue operations of the basic and other components of the Integrated Rescue System of the Czech Republic. The State Humanitarian Aid of the Czech Republic abroad is performed and financed from the financial means allocated by the government from the state budget into the bound reserve of the General Financial Administration for the given year for the humanitarian aid. The partial target of the thesis is to submit the complete information about the international rescue missions and providing individual kinds of the humanitarian aid abroad. The partial goal was to find out the preparedness of the Czech Republic for providing individual kinds of humanitarian aid and to refer to possible drawbacks. The survey of implemented foreign rescue operations and humanitarian aid was focused on the basic component of IZS CR, taking part in missions abroad most frequently and participating in the largest extent in providing humanitarian aid abroad, i.e. Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic (HZS CR) and its departments. Concerning other components of IZS CR, the research focused on the projects of one of the most important and largest non-profit non-governmental organization, ADRA citizen association.

The bachelor thesis Preventive education of young people in the field of civil protection at primary and secondary schools deals with the history of the issue, with an educational programme and with the problems of protection in exceptional circumstances at present. The practical part is based on a questionnaire research conducted among primary school pupils and secondary school students and primary and secondary school teachers examining the present state of knowledge in the field of civil protection in special conditions among students and teachers of primary and secondary schools. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate accessibility of information, use of published manuals and textbooks dealing with civil protection in special conditions, the history of education of pupils in the field of civil protection and to compare transfer of information to the teachers, to assess whether it is transferred to students to a sufficient extent. A hypothesis presumes that education of primary and secondary students in the field of civil protection is sufficient and that primary and secondary students are able to apply the obtained knowledge to real situations. The thesis is based on the methodology of comparison, transfer of information on civil protection from the Fire Rescue Department of the Czech Republic to primary and secondary students or teachers, data collection from five primary and five secondary schools in the region, from 50 students and 5 teachers from each school, and evaluation of the questionnaires based on the replies.

This thesis deals with the improvement of mobile applications for the Fire Brigade of the Czech Republic. The theoretical part focuses on the importance of information that is necessary for the successful completion of an emergency situation. This section also includes a description of the activities of the regional operations centers and information system used by firefighters. The theoretical part is closed by the description of the process of the elaboration of an emergency situation. One of the aims of the practical part was to carry out the analysis of mobile applications used on the terminal equipment of the tablet in the Czech Republic and in neighbouring countries. Another goal was to design improvements in the form of new mobile applications that Fire Brigade in the Czech Republic could develop. Besides there were proposed recommended mobile application for the tablets considering the selected roles of firefighters.

The service unit in the village volunteer fire brigade (the "Municipality JSDH") by members, as provided generally by appointment. Actual performance of services is usually limited to work in implementing liquidation and rescue work. Unit voluntary fire brigade of the village is not just fighting fires, but the whole of the removal of incidents (traffic accidents, the aftermath of natural elements water, wind). For these purposes, members of voluntary fire brigade units of the village prepared, trained and acquire habits that will use it to help people.

This diploma thesis deals with the methods of population protection from hazardous chemicals in the event of an emergency situation. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of legislation that governs hazardous chemicals and it pays special attention to the risks related to the transportation of hazardous chemicals and their subsequent leakage. The thesis describes selected hazardous chemicals and informs of accidents that have happened recently. It is also pays attention to warnings, evacuation, providing shelter and the means of improvised protection, which is the most important factor for common public. People meet tanker cars transporting chemicals everywhere and every day; therefore, the protection of population should be aimed in this direction. People often do not know how to behave in situations like this. A questionnaire was compiled for research in the practical part; the questionnaire was intended to find out about the level of knowledge among people. Through the evaluation of population informedness and based on the questionnaire results, a suitable form of education was proposed to fill a gap in the knowledge (a pocket guide). At the same time, the questionnaires were distributed among the staff of the Fire and Rescue System with the aim of confirming their preparedness as well. The preparedness of the Fire and Rescue System is also documented by the analysis of photographs from a tactical drill aimed at a leakage of a hazardous chemical during transport.

The topic of my bachelor thesis is the Co-operation of the components of integrated emergency system in catastrophes and multiple disasters. The target of the thesis is mapping the knowledge of the type activity of components of the integrated emergency system during the common intervention in the extraordinary event with a high number of the injured and victims with accent on the work of the Medical Rescue Service. The partial target is to find out the knowledge of the communication in the Tetrapol digital system. The thesis is split into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to the Integrated Emergency System, its components and tasks. It defines the concepts used in connection with the multiple disasters and moreover it mentions the documents necessary for the liquidation of an extraordinary event. It also describes the communication in the digital Tetrapol system. In the practical part, the method of the quantitative research in the form of the anonymous questionnaire was selected. The respondents were employees of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region. Based on the determined goals, two hypotheses were postulated. The first hypothesis reads: ?Members of the Medical Rescue Service are able to communicate in the Tetrapol digital system?. The second hypothesis reads: ?The junior employees (up to 5 years of practice) have a better knowledge of the type activity of the components of the integrated emergency system during the common intervention in case of an extraordinary event with a high number of injured and victims for the Medical Rescue Service than the senior employees. The investigation refuted both hypotheses and it has shown the deficiencies in the theoretical preparedness for the liquidation of the extraordinary event in the tested sample. In the framework of improving the awareness and knowledge of liquidation of an extraordinary event, it is suitable to devote more time to the given issue already during the studies of medical rescuers as well as subsequently in the employment for example in the form of internal seminars.

In my project I addressed the security of the National Park of Šumava in terms of emergencies. The objective of my thesis was to find out how the safety of people is ensured and if the Integrated Rescue System works effectively in case of extraordinary events in this area. When processing my work I have to reach final values upon which I would propose higher efficiency of activities in National Park of Šumava, based on that I processed the model of operating range of Integrated Rescue System units in the National Park. Furthermore, the method by which I came to the result of work consisted of data collection and their evaluation. National Park Šumava is large and rugged territory, and has its own specifics and differences in dealing with emergencies. In my work I have proposed measures to ensure security for the various bodies of the Integrated Rescue System, in terms of different spheres of security. The issue of safety and security of residents and visitors have been partially addressed by the Administration of the National Park Šumava, but the activities of the Integrated Rescue System is currently still not effective. In the proposals I have discussed adding activities in the Integrated Rescue Systems and measures that would from my perspective more effectively improved the quality of Integrated Rescue System activities and thereby to achieve better security of visitors and other people in the park. The results of my work will be used for more effective work of Fire Protection Business Units of National Park and Protected Landscape Area and for suggestions for further changes in security in the National Park.

The thesis deals with the organization and professional training of volunteers for emergency in non-profit organizations on South Bohemia region. Theoretical part shows the issue of volunteerism in emergencies and introduces the non-govermental non-profit organizations, which have previously operated in emergencies in South Bohemia and which have been assumed the involvement and their volunteers. Practical part presents the actual research a situation of the organization and professional training of volunteers for emergencies in South Bohemia by the Regional association of Red Cross České Budějovice and ADRA association.

Bachelor work is designated to include non ? government non ? profit organizations in integrated rescue system in the Plzeň region.

For this final paper, I chose a rather serious topic that is very topical in our society. Hazardous chemical substance ? ammonia ? is used very widely at present. Ammonia is used as a coolant in various plants. I have compiled a list of all plants in South Bohemia that work with ammonia, including ice rinks. I characterized the properties of ammonia, what damage it causes to the human organism and the environment. I noted a list of accidents during which there have been ammonia leakages of ammonia and I analyzed one accident using a software programme called TerEx. I chose the building of the ice rink in České Budějovice for my research. The objective was to determine the amount of ammonia and to simulate, using the TerEx software programme, an accident with a potential ammonia leakage from the ice rink. I also listed all the activities of the individual components of the Integrated Rescue System, which would help during such an accident, as well as urgent and follow-up measures that would be used. Having assessed the results I came to the conclusion that ammonia leakage from the ice rink would have serious impacts on the residents of České Budějovice. Finally I explained what the terms of evacuation and individual protection mean for the people lining around the ice rink.

The thesis concerns the prevention of injuries of patients in health facilities. Even though the facilities themselves make efforts to ensure secure surroundings, through the nursing practice we still register injuries of patients which are caused most often by falls of patients, fires started during the hospitalizing and injuries caused by electric current. The research showed that nurses in health facilities concern themselves with the prevention, however, imperfections were discovered, for example insufficient knowledge of nurses in re-appraisement of risks of falls of patients and about the entries necessary for the form of extraordinary event.

The aim of the dissertation was to assess and evaluate the readiness of the emergency medical services to respond to a potential extraordinary event of a chemical, biological, irradiating or nuclear character. The scope of the dissertation was to map professional, material, technical and legislative preparation in this regard. This data offers an overview of the experiences of emergency personnel from a practical standpoint, gained through action or training, and is enriched by additional specific data from the Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian Region. The information gathered for the purpose of authoring the dissertation was obtained by utilisation of quantitative and qualitative research methods. In the case of quantitative research, data was gathered by means of an anonymous questionnaire, where the research file was constituted by physicians and medical emergency personnel. In the case of qualitative research a form of directed interview with the deputy of the crisis management team of the emergency medical services was used.

Comparing the operation of the Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Slovakia. Various authorities and different assignments of the members evoked an impulse to make a coordinated progress at rescue and liquidation works in MU - the joint rescue service. Joint rescue service integrates the daily needs in the cooperation of firemen, medics, the police and other departments at solving MU, for example fires, disasters or traffic accidents. The police, firefighters and the medical rescue service are governed by law No. 239/2000 Sb., about an Integrated Rescue System and about the change of some laws in the constituent parts. These components have also their own personal law and regulations, according to which they governs themselves. Law No. 238/2000 Sb., about firefighters in the Czech Republic and about the change in some laws, law No. 273/2000 Sb., about the police of the Czech Republic and law No. 374/2011 Sb., about the medical rescue service. The Bachelor thesis describes how individual forces are managed, their organizational structures and the way important tasks are performed. Every state has its own system, according to whose firemen, the police and the rescue service are in place and some differ from the system in the Czech Republic. Step by step, the thesis compares the systems of these forces from the point of view of authorities, legislative measures, arrival times or numbers of professional substitution of the employees. After establishing the criteria and their subsequent analysis, it came to light that the Czech Republic does not lag substantially behind in comparison with Germany, Austria and Slovakia, but in certain matters some countries appear to have a more elaborate system.

This bachelors thesis deals with the using of animal assisted therapy methods AACR as one of the means of psychosocial support by emergencies. The first at all, it is mentioned what is canistherapy.

In the research section are recorded and evaluated responses dogs trainers, who have experience with the using of canine-crisis intervention. The aim is to assess the actual application of this method.

This thesis addresses the status and role of "a citizen in crisis management", because this is a citizen who is heavily affected. The topic selection was inspired mainly by the fact that the issue of a citizen in crisis management has been neglected, only a few people are interested, there is little information available on crisis management, and citizens and their families as basic elements are not specified at all. I would love to modify the access to citizens and their families, and thereby to contribute to the improvement of emergency planning and creation of new approaches to defense, security and protection. The main objective of this thesis was to analyze, describe and define the status of citizens in crisis management. Furthermore, to examine the status of citizenship from the perspective of all parts of crisis management and to modify the view on the issue of crisis management and also to extend it by one area - the personal part of crisis management. In connection with the defined hypothesis it is very important to provide preventive education to citizens to prevent the consequences of emergencies and crisis situations. Using a survey questionnaire and additional questions the current state of preparedness of citizens to the possibility of emergency and crisis situations was investigated. The obtained data confirm the hypothesis that there are significant deficits in citizen´s preparedness for emergency or crisis situations and their knowledge of crisis management is not sufficient. In the final part the findings are described on the basis of which a project how to improve the situation is suggested, which is the proposal of prevention targeting citizens and their families. One of the ways how to achieve this purpose is to implement a wide spectrum of activities to educate the public on emergency management throughout their whole lives.

We live in a time when people are increasingly threatened by emergencies that affect the health or lives of everyone. To prevent or delay the dangerous effects of these emergencies and crisis situations, our society has created a system eliminating these effects. The thesis is focused on this system, which is tailored and ready to address emergency situations by using its forces and equipment. In the Czech Republic such situations are managed by using some of components of the Integrated Rescue System. The objective of the thesis was to identify the readiness of forces and equipment of basic components of the Integrated Rescue System, which are the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, the Police of the Czech Republic, the Emergency Medical Service and other components of the Army of the Czech Republic to manage emergencies. In order to determine how the individual components, members of individual components respectively, view the readiness of forces and equipment of basic components of the Integrated Rescue System and the Army of the Czech Republic, I personally distributed questionnaires focused on this issue. I made up one hundred questionnaires, and because I myself handed them out and collected them, the return rate was 100 %. Each file contains twenty-five questionnaires. Questionnaires were processed into tables and graphs and in this manner an overview was created showing how each of the components sees the readiness of forces and equipment to manage emergency situations.

First aid represents the first and extremely important stage in the emergency medical procedure. The necessity to provide first aid may arise at any time as the current modern era poses numerous new risks which may cause many extraordinary events with consequences for individuals and groups of people or even for entire populations. Therefore the professional training of the population should stress first aid as it may reduce vulnerability and improve resistance of the population against extraordinary events, the number of which keeps growing. The objective of the thesis was to assess whether the civilian population is prepared to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary event. The research methods to meet the mentioned objective and to obtain the information necessary for results processing included a questionnaire and analytical examination. The questionnaire consisted of 15 previously prepared questions. The questions in the questionnaire were divided into four parts based on specific formulated objectives. The questionnaire survey was conducted in the South Bohemian region in the town of Tábor. The target group consisted of 250 respondents of both sexes, selected at random in four different age categories. The first group of respondents consisted of respondents aged 10- 20, the second category 20- 40, the third category 40- 60 and the last one consisted of respondents over 60 years of age. The preparedness of the population was examined at three levels, i.e. at the level of knowledge, level of emotions and experience level and the level of motivation. The formulated hypothesis: ?Civilian population is ready to provide first aid in agreement with applicable first aid standards? has been confirmed only partly at those three levels. The thesis also produced some secondary results concerning assessment of vulnerability and resistance of the population during the provision of first aid under extraordinary circumstances. One of the secondary outcomes was a finding that seniors seem to be by far most vulnerable and, on the contrary, the category aged 20- 40 seems to be the most resistant. Within the possibilities and scope of my thesis I have attempted to contribute to identification of important aspects that potentially influence the willingness of people to provide first aid and to highlight the importance of first aid training.

The last part of the introductory essay to speak of critical infrastructure, which includes the judiciary. The thesis aims to determine how the judicial administration immune to the impact of emergencies. Whether the system needs more investment in security measures applied so far as eliminating the effect of well-defined emergencies, and if justice is rightly placed in the framework of critical infrastructure. For the actual processing of the results is the methodology used in operational analysis. Specifically, it is the discipline of multi-criteria evaluation of alternatives. The method itself is appropriate for the assessment of phenomena, where the value of multiple criteria. The results are processed according to the principles of the WSA (weighted sum) and Fuller (comparison and scoring method). Naturally, there is comparison of the results of both disciplines. Examined measures designed to limit exposure incidents are classified into thematic blocks. The ranking of construction services, technology, internal structure and physical site security. Taking the first and third block is formed by means of passive protection and the second and fourth block is formed by means of active defense. It is interesting comparison between the blocks and those stand block. A summary of results and their own and departmental analysis of threats to judicial authorities indicate readiness for the events listed in the Plan of departmental emergency preparedness as an emergency.

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.

The graduation theses gives the general information about people´s protection in extraordinary situations at home, where the offender is a member of the family. It aims at police strategy by protection the victim of some crime. The key role in the system belongs to the Police of the Czech Republic, who is in most cases the first one who meet the victim and the offender and who has authority to control and to stop the social unacceptable behaving. Part of the graduated theses is to explain what is dangerous persecution-stalking. Also the kinds and victims of dangerous persecution, assessing og dangerousness. The problem of a victim is a very important part which was neclegted in the past. Also the fact that a deep knowledge in this problems is very important for the Police is written in my theses. Next part of my theses is explanation of victimology and characterization of the key word ?victim?. The role of the intervention center and their cooperation with the Police of the Czech Republic by protecting the victim and solving the extraordinary situations at home. The protecting the victim can be done uder the low § 50 NO.273/2008 about Police of the Czech republic and because of that there is methodology of police´s procedure by giving the protection to person who need it in my theses.

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.

The topic I selected for my bachelor degree thesis is a not-very-well-mapped area of cooperation between basic units of the Integrated Rescue System and the Mountain Rescue Service, Šumava region. I have described the content of works performed by the Mountain Rescue Service and their points of contact with the Emergency Medical Service, Police of the Czech Republic and Fire Rescue Service of the Pilsen and South Bohemian region, in connection with rescue of persons and their health. In my thesis I have attempted to describe situations typical for cooperation between the units, as well as the quality of cooperation, mutual interconnection between the organizations and potential possibilities to expand the cooperation in order to ensure safe movement and stay of persons in the mountain region of Šumava. The qualitative research used a method of semi-structured interview with members of the individual above-mentioned organizations. The research has shown that the cooperation functions at a very good level, it develops continually and that it is indispensable in the conditions existing in one of the country´s biggest mountain regions. One particular measure that could ensure further improvement is the development of a legislative document accurately defining competences of mountain rescuers.

The paper deals with transportation of dangerous chemical substances in road transport in the Czech Republic. The paper was elaborated on the basis of available literature focused on transportation of dangerous chemical substances, especially on the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. This Agreement is the crucial document for transportation of dangerous goods both in the Czech Republic and in all states, which acceded to this Agreement. The objective of the paper is assessing the implementation of the European regulations into the regulations of the Czech Republic and mapping the awareness of the public about issues of the transportation of dangerous goods in road transport. By processing specialized literature about this topic, it was found out that the implementation of the European regulations into the regulations of the Czech Republic was very flexible and fast. On the basis of the quantitative research by means of a questionnaire research among the public and drivers working in the transportation of dangerous goods it was found out that the public did not have sufficient information about the transportation of dangerous goods in road transport. On the contrary, drivers transporting dangerous goods are excellently familiar with this issue. With respect to the fact that the public has not enough information about the transportation of dangerous goods, the public administration should provide more pieces of information in the form of leaflets and promotion events. Furthermore, it would be appropriate to include basic information about transporting dangerous substances focused especially on conduct in case of traffic accidents of vehicles transporting dangerous substances into the courses and follow-up training at driving schools. Nowadays, a majority of the population possesses a driving licence but in the theoretical lessons, risks of the dangers of transportation of dangerous chemical substances in road transport are not mentioned.

Emergency preparedness includes the ability to recognize the occurrence of extraordinary events and, in particular, planning, organizing and management of emergency measures to deal with them. The objective of this thesis is to assess planned measures to avert the consequences of accidents depending on selected extraordinary events in the premises of the railway station in České Budějovice. Another objective is to assess the overall emergency preparedness of the railway station in České Budějovice in this respect. In order to meet the objectives as well as possible I defined the following hypothesis: Planned measures to avert the consequences of accidents in the premises of the railway station in České Budějovice are adequate and in accordance with applicable legislation. The thesis includes basic general information on extraordinary events, emergency planning and the integrated rescue system, and then it describes securing emergency preparedness within the organizational structure of the entities involved. The thesis also includes the issue of rail freight transport and the related transport of dangerous substances. To achieve the objectives of the thesis and to verify the hypothesis, I used interviews with relevant experts from railway companies ČD as, ČD Cargo and SŽDC, and the study of available literature and legislation. Then, I used a document analysis aimed at assessing the adequacy and suitability of planned measures depending on the selected extraordinary events ? both associated with the normal operation of the railway station and the transport of hazardous substances in tanks. The analysis showed that the planned measures to avert the consequences of accidents in the premises of the railway station in České Budějovice are currently to a great extent adequate and in compliance with applicable national and international legislation. In the discussion section, I presented the problems that occurred in dealing with this issue. At the end of the thesis, I tried to propose some measures that would be suitable for adding into the documentation of emergency preparedness of the railway station in České Budějovice. I believe that this thesis will be used as a document monitoring an aggregate of measures to ensure emergency preparedness of the railway station in České Budějovice and, in the light of the thesis results, it will be possible to recommend further improvements in securing the preparation of these measures.

A set of documents, called the Index of Model Activities of the Integrated Rescue System Forces was compiled to improve coordination of these forces. The Index describes organizational procedures of the IRS forces during ten cases of emergency. However, are members of basic IRS forces familiar with these documents? Are the IRS workers aware of procedures and needs of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) staff? The objective of this thesis is to survey views and findings of the IRS workers regarding the above mentioned issues, evaluate possibilities to improve knowledge of these issues.

The thesis at hand analyzes the activities of the Police of the Czech Republic, a fundamental component of the Integrated Rescue System, on the level of tactical control while intervening in selected emergency situations. The theoretical part includes an analysis of available legal standards and documents related to the activities of the police while carrying out rescue and salvage operations. The empirical part comprises of qualitative and quantitative researches done in a specific sample of respondents. The first research corpus was involved in structured interviews that were held with chiefs of the executive bodies of the police; the second research corpus was involved in a questionnaire survey that was carried out in a sample of policemen performing the direct service. The survey reveals the level of awareness of the policemen with the issues relating to the Integrated Rescue System. The outcomes of the survey are shown in graphs. The thesis concludes that there is no systematic training of the police officers and police employees working for the Police of the Czech Republic and it offers alternative solution of the training method to be employed when explaining issues associated with the Integrated Rescue System at the workplace and while the work is in progress

This bachelor degree thesis focuses on cooperation between the emergency medical service, social services and volunteer organizations. The objective of the thesis was to determine whether the emergency medical service cooperates with volunteer organizations and social services. The research part involved distribution of questionnaires to 74 members of staff of the emergency medical service and 69 volunteers from volunteer organizations and social services in the South Bohemian region. The first part of the thesis describes the Integrated Rescue System, related terminology and situations and cases in which the individual components of the system may cooperate and the importance of such cooperation between the organizations. I also described basic components of the Integrated Rescue System and their tasks. Subsequently, I focused on volunteering, related terminology and I described volunteer and social services organizations, their main objectives and tasks. The second part of the thesis contains results of my research which used a quantitative method of inquiry; to each target group were distributed 100 questionnaires. Members of the emergency services of them returned 74 (74%) and from voluntary organizations and social components of 69 (69%). The research and the results represent a major part of the thesis and they demonstrate that the emergency medical service cooperates with volunteer organizations and social services in a sufficient extent and that the cooperation is of a sufficient quality. Further, the results have confirmed that volunteer organizations and social services have special means and equipment, not available to the emergency medical service, and that without such equipment the activities of the emergency medical service would be in some cases less effective or would not be possible at all. The conclusions of the thesis include suggestions for improvement of the quality of cooperation between the mentioned organizations.

Society today is increasingly exposed to the effects of emergencies. These situations not only affect the normal functioning of the society but also the functioning of medical facilities. The preparedness of medical facilities is a very important factor influencing the success in dealing with emergencies and crisis situations. The preparedness of the health care system as a whole consists of all medical facilities in the Czech Republic. Therefore, it is desirable that they are prepared to address them. The objective of the thesis, in its theoretical part, was to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of crisis preparedness in medical facilities. The practical part was intended to introduce in more detail the territory of the South Moravian Region and its issues and to map out emergency preparedness in the specified research set. The research set included medical facilities in the region that are not university hospitals but that are part of the region traumatology plan. The data on this issue was collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was in a format of selected work indicators of emergency preparedness and it was uniform for all the respondents. The work indicators were as follows: theoretical preparedness, organizational preparedness and practical preparedness. Based on the questionnaire survey, analysis of the results and determining the average level of preparedness of all the participating medical facilities, it was concluded that the preparedness of the medical facilities of a non-university type in the South Moravian Region is very diverse: from hospitals whose preparedness is excellent to those who do not reach the required basis. In the overall assessment, 40.0 % of the respondents did not reach the determined average. Overall, the level of preparedness of the research set can be seen as slightly below average. To increase the level of preparedness of non-university medical facilities, it is suggested, for example, to create unified procedures for processing various types of plans, to assign each medical facility the obligation to employ a professional emergency manager, and to establish cooperation among individual medical facilities.

The aim of this graduation thesis is to bring analysis of safety information systems and their configuration in the relation to the chemical plants. Initially, there are theoreti-cally and generally explained terms, as system, information system and safety system. The second (practical) part depicts the use of information systems in real life. The knowledge of theoretical principles and results of the analysis were used for design of the safety information systems for the chemical plants. Conclusion of practical part evaluates the present status and connection with Integrated Rescue System (IRS). The third part brings the transcription of authentic interviews with staff whose are responsi-ble for safety information system maintenance and its use in chemical plant. Finally, this graduation thesis evaluates the safety information system development for the future as well as of influence EU standards on Czech chemical plants.

The thesis is focused on radiological and chemical weapons in the context of their use in terrorist attacks against the civilian population in relation to rescue and clean up operations of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) of the Czech Republic. The objective of the thesis is to specify the terms of radiological and chemical weapons, to assess potential negative consequences of their use with the emphasis on the threat to life and health of the population, to evaluate the economic impact on society and to compare the IRS activities during the immediate intervention carried out after a terrorist attack. The topic is dealt with based on the research and the analysis of rules of law in force regulating activities of the IRS components in these major incidents and also of documents of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and other works focused on the misuse of radioactive and chemical agents in terrorist attacks. Severity and complexity of the issue is illustrated by information given on the radiological accident in Goiana in Brazil, sarin attacks of the Japanese sect Óm šinrikjó and consequences of the model example of the use of radionuclide 137Cs. In the thesis the current methodology on which the IRS components operate in such emergencies is analyzed, and some aspects that are subject of the set of type activities, worked out by the Civil Emergency Planning Committee and DG Fire Rescue Service of the CR, which may become weak points during a real action of the IRS, are pointed out. One of major issues analyzed in this study is comparison of radiological and chemical attacks with the focus on the initial phase of the intervention of the IRS components. Presentation of differences in individual activities of the IRS components in such interventions can contribute significantly to understanding and subsequently managing the activities carried out by the IRS components in these major incidents.
