The degree of preparedness of the population for emergency survival
ŠAFROVÁ, Veronika
Awareness and readiness of people during emergency survival is a issue, which is not as easy to fix as it can seem on a first sight. Lifestyle and the ability of people to get their food resources is very different then it was before year 1989. As the society grows in a global and modern way, the level of independence is decreasing. All services, products and foods are within our arm's reach. We can state, that we live in a time of affluence - for now. This began to change rapidly two years ago, when the pandemic started or the corona virus as we know it. Many households have realized, that during quarantine they are dependent on their friends and family, because without shopping food, they wouldn't endure longer than 10 to 14 days. The corona virus epidemic wasn't the only test during the last two years that a lot of people had to go through. Another catastrophes were large floods, recent tornado in Moravia or ongoing safety threat in Ukraine. Another ongoing catastrophe is large wild fire in Bohemian Switzerland. This wild fire is a threat to properties, health and life to people and animals, but also protection of national park Bohemian Switzerland. This rapid downhill during last few months is a clear indicator, that the situation on our continent is shifting. Therefore population should slowly return to a partial independence, because if someone wouldn't do this in time, they might pay the highest price in the future. The issue of awareness and readiness of population for emergency survival based on author's research is very low. New generation is dealing with completely different habits, than our grand parents and great grand parents. Therefore author decided to do her own research and it confirmed her assumption. Result of the research confirmed, that actual readiness of population for emergency survival in crisis situations or catastrophes is truly very low. Author of these results got her answers based on her own research through electronic questionnaire. 555 households answered this questionnaire and 1188 individuals showed their interest. Another results of this test is, that if we compare our generation or generation of our parents, results are almost zero. Although results confirmed, that there is a huge difference in generation of our grand parents. Awareness of population in general across generations is on better level, however readiness is low as many people and households won't admit any catastrophes. Even though last few events show something else. Author decided to choose a questionnaire survey and based on these results do an examination and assessment of the level of readiness of the population for emergency survival. As another goal of the thesis the author processed basic characteristics of emergency survival of individuals or households. This characteristic can partially help novices to get prepared for upcoming situations. In foreign countries they use words as prepper or survival, which describes someone who is getting ready for extraordinary events or crisis situations. This basic characteristic can help people to gain knowledge and increase protection. This knowledge can also increase their safety. Because most of household consist from more than one individual, it's important to learn again how to safely take care of their own and their close ones. We mustn't depend on others or on the country to take care of us. It is needed to partially get back to our roots, knowledge and skills from our ancestors. We never know when we can benefit from these experiences or when they can even safe our lives. Result of this thesis is to lead respondents to change their way of thinking about this issue of emergency survival. Goal wasn't to scare or convince respondents, however to point on certain situations that could happen, so that they can prepare better.

CHALOUPKOVÁ, Klára
The thesis deals with differences in the preparedness of the Biohazard team of the Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian and Pilsen Regions in caring for infectiously ill patients, their transport and treatment. It consists of theoretical and empirical parts. The theoretical part focuses on the history and epidemiology of infectious diseases, on the types and occurrence of highly dangerous infections in the Czech Republic while describing the biological risk and individual plans. It also deals with the components involved in measures in the presence or suspicion of a highly dangerous infection, describes the role of health care providers and the role of the Regional Hygiene Station. It highlights the medical units involved in the care of suspicious or highly dangerous infections, it also deals with the training of members of the Integrated Rescue System, personal protective equipment and, last but not least, decontamination of persons and objects. The empirical part consists ofa structured interview. The interview included 15 questions, 14 closed and 1 open. All questions were focused on the awareness of the members of the Biohazard Teams of the Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian and Pilsen Regions about the activities of these teams, the relevant legislation and the theoretical and practical preparation and equipment of workplaces. The respondents were members of the Biohazard Team, consisting of 4 paramedics, 4 drivers and 2 physicians from each named region. The results show that the preparedness of the Biohazard Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian and Pilsen Region is very similar, while the Biohazard Emergency Medical Services of the Pilsen Region prefers years of service to enter, respondents of this team are more familiar with theoretical knowledge, per year and therefore better prepared to intervene in a suspicion or occurrence of a highly dangerous disease. Members of the Biohazard Emergency Medical Services Team of the South Bohemian Region participate in theoretical training twice a year. The Biohazard Teams of both regions participate in practical exercises four times a year, but there is a problem because there is no uniform methodology for equipping a Biohazard Team in the Emergency Medical Service, there is no central equipment purchasing, which is both very economically disadvantageous and very difficult for cooperation.
