MAJOR EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DISEASES AND POSSIBILITIES OF RESTRICTION ITS MALFEASANCE AND CONSEQUENTIAL SPREAD IN POPULATION
VAŇOVÁ, Naďa
In history there are cases of epidemics, which often reduced the human population more than war conflicts ever did. A typical example is the Spanish flu epidemic during the 1st World War. It is generally known that a large portion of our population lacks sufficient knowledge on the very dangerous diseases, which can be misused by bioterrorists. People underestimate the threat and often they don?t even have any idea how to protect themselves against biological agents or what to do in the event of a possible attack. I have chosen this issue as the topic of my diploma work as I consider the current situation of the inhabitant?s awareness of this issue as unsatisfactory. The objective of my work is to define epidemiologically serious diseases, which are suitable for misuse within the bioterrorists? actions, to focus on their diagnostics, treatment and prevention. On the basis of studying expert literature and consultations I have proposed preventative measures and instructions what to do in the event of a possible risk of attack by biological warfare agents and subsequently I created two types of information leaflets for the wide public. At the same time I handed over these two information leaflets for an expert assessment to a legal office to make sure that they do not fulfil the state of facts of a criminal offence of spreading a haux. The result is an opinion that the leaflet with general information may be used to increase peoples' awareness on the preventative protection against the possible risk of attack or misuse of biological agents. The second leaflet with the detailed information may only be used for the purpose of this diploma work, or possibly for training purposes of cooperation of the Integrated Emergency Services and the inhabitants in the given area.
Communication at extraordinary matters
VAŇOVÁ, Naďa
An unreplaceable and very important part of population´s protection is to be well-informed. Even thought this operation is legislated, there is really expressive deficiency which can be taken in by the population in case of some emergency. This become evident during the floods in the year 2002 and 2006. There is no comprehensive information resource, i.e. multimedial, printed or any other one. The system complexity and unity is absent here. First it is neccessary to meet the basic ideas and to explain what the communication means to better understand these problems. It is neccessary to specify the kinds of the problems and to explain the concept "emergency communication". Emergency situations have to be classified into particular categories. Possible impendency risk is needed to be particularized together with the ways of informing about such situations and of telling people what to do. The publication refers to some problems about the information availability for the general public and the legislative which ensures it. This publication also mentions facilities which shares the cautionary/warning information (sirens, software and some other ones). There is also written about sorts of early warning systems´ testing, about the warning signal "general warning" in details and about some additional emergency information. The work summarizes possible forms and techniques of emergency communication with inhabitants/population and determines professional knowledge. Early, exact and appropriate information is determinant while saving life. This is the reason why I followed this theme.
