Provision of population protection during solving an emergency caused by bulk poultry infection
JIRÁSKOVÁ, Erika
For my bachelor work I have chosen a theme called "Insuring Protection of Inhabitants during Solving Major Incident Caused by Mass Infection in Poultry". Recently the problems connected with aviation influenza have occurred more and more especially the subtype called H5N1. Outbreak of bird flu started in the areas of south-east Asia and for a common European it was a rare and remote disease. In a short period of time the infection spread and crossed the borders of continents and in spring 2006 this dangerous pandemic also occurred in the Czech Republic. Knowledge concerning characters of influenza virus and possibilities of its unpredictable genome are still inefficient and it is known very little about genetic fund of influenza virus and its replication cycle in the nature. Therefore even after some experience it is not known how pathogenic and potentially pandemic H5N1 influenza virus capable of human-to-human spread develop from many different subtypes which pass among poultry and is able to be deadly not only for large-scale breeding but also for humans. It is also more than necessary to remind general public of basic aspects concerning the outbreak and spread of this disease including other possible impacts in case that virus H5N1 occurs in the Czech Republic and transmits to humans. Nowadays there have been structures of particular measures in form of legislative regulations created. Emergency planning should get big space and attention as it will be used as a basis for all parts which participate and will participate in solving and implementation in case of major incident caused by mass infection in poultry. In spite of developing research, improvement and progress of new technologies, application of the most modern methods and systems, there will still exist a danger of possible outbreak and spread of pandemic infections. The spread can not be prevented, however, the impact should be minimized out of consideration for protection of inhabitants and the environment. To achieve this goal special attention is paid to readiness in form of training programmes and emergency exercises of Emergency Service in cooperation with Regional Health Authority. That is the reason why there is a survey included in this work which shows how inhabitants are informed and ready in case of major incident caused by virus H5N1.
