Role of municipalities and cities in crisis management
KOŘENSKÁ, Terezie
The thesis rounds up fundamental information about municipalities and cities concerning crisis management. Further analyzed are responsibilities and duties of municipal and city authorities in resolving major emergency incidents and crisis situations, and status of municipalities in the security system of Czech republic. The thesis further describes the ensuring of crisis preparedness at the level of municipalities and cities. The aim of the research part of the thesis was to analyze, describe and evaluate present state of crisis preparedness of municipalities and cities in South Bohemian region and, at the same time, to find suggestions for systemic solution to the current situation. And this for a reason that the status of municipalities in the security system of Czech republic is irreplaceable because a municipality, most importantly represented by a mayor, is closest to a citizen, and therefore a help in resolving major emergency incidents and crisis situations must primarily be ensured from the level of a municipality. For this purpose the hypothesis was set that municipalities, as opposed to municipalities with extended powers, are professionally, personally and materially not sufficiently prepared for resolving emergency incidents and crisis situations. Furthermore, the thesis deals with methodical tool ? procedure for solving emergency incidents and crisis situations by municipality bodies that could directly serve mayors of municipalities. And also, a proposal for tasks and measures is dealt with which could improve crisis preparedness of municipalities and cities.

Creation of pandemic plan for medical institutions
VLAS, Vlastimil
The aim of this B.A. level is to analyse the risk of creation of a pandemic caused by a new influenza virus. This academic paper particularly discusses the fact whether hospitals are prepared for emergency situations when the number of hospitalised persons is rising enormously. This thesis introduces and analyses the Czech National Pandemic Preparedness Plan, as well as the plan relating to the South Bohemia Region with respect to the fact that every state is obliged to have its pandemic preparedness plans. Furthermore, the thesis attempts to ascertain whether these plans are in compliance with proposals and measures introduced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Union. WHO has been monitoring the influenza virus since the end of World War II. For this monitoring, WHO has been using the influenza preparedness programmes. Due to these programmes we may be able to foresee the creation of pandemic to certain extent. However, despite the facts mentioned above, the risks still remain on a rather high level since for example in South-East Asia, contamination of humans via the bird flu is quite common. Some sources believe that if a new influenza pandemic occurs in the world, it will break out exactly in South-East Asia, and therefore it is necessary to monitor this location carefully. Furthermore, this thesis focuses on describing the influenza virus, what structure it has, and, in particular, what difficulties it causes to humans. In the Czech Republic, seasonal influenza is quite common in relation to which basic differences in the symptoms are also discussed in this paper. The thesis subsequently focuses on the description of the treatment for both seasonal influenza, as well as bird flu since they differ significantly. Nowadays, also the issue of influenza vaccination is being discussed quite often. It is necessary to state that vaccination is not suitable for all citizens and that it may not protect us from a pandemic caused by new influenza virus. In this thesis, the expression ``influenza pandemic`` has been explained and plans of substantial importance playing the role of measures preventing the creation of pandemic have been described. Furthermore, an analysis of the Czech National Pandemic Preparedness Plan, with special focus on the South Bohemia Region, has been carried out. It is a well-known fact that the first occurrence and the most afflicted area of the bird flu virus in 2006 (the infected swan) was in the České Budějovice area.
