PODHORNÁ, Barbora
The Master's thesis focuses on the issue of flooding and population protection against floods. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of flooding and its types and it describes the Morava river basin and the Dyje river basin. It also characterizes flood protection, flood management authorities and measures to protect the population. The practical part analyses digital flood plans and preparedness of selected municipalities of South-Moravian and Zlín region for natural floods. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate and analyze measures taken to protect the population in the event of natural floods taken in selected municipalities of South-Moravian and Zlín region according to applicable documentation and to assess preparedness of the selected municipalities for natural floods. The aim of the thesis was achieved through the analysis of digital flood plans of individual municipalities and subsequent calculations of their preparedness for natural floods. Preparedness of the municipalities was evaluated based on the measures selected to protect the population, that is warning, evacuation and emergency survival. These measures are essential for protection of health and life of citizens and for subsequent helping citizens during the floods. Individual measures are defined in municipalities' flood plans. Calculation of preparedness of individual municipalities was carried out using the scoring method, one of the methods for multi-criteria decision making. After having processed all the results, preparedness of most of the selected municipalities can be classified as sufficient. Preparedness for natural floods and particularly completeness and up-to-dateness of flood plans is the responsibility of competent flood authorities. These should incorporate the outcomes of the thesis in their flood plans.
