Knowledge of Procedures in Extraordinary Circumstances among the Members of Primary Units of Integrated Rescue System in the Moravian-Silesian Region
ŠMÍDOVÁ, Monika
The diploma thesis deals with knowledge of procedures in extraordinary circumstances among the members of primary units of the Integrated Rescue System in the Moravian - Silesian region. It is specifically focused on knowledge of procedures to be done when finding an unknown object with a suspicion of a presence of biological agens, toxins and so-called dirty bomb. To find out answers and results I chose the method of quantitative research I asked for completing questionnaires. I prepared questions using a special catalog of characteristic activities and I handed the questionnaires over to respondents who work as members of the primary units of the Integrated Rescue System. I used Microsoft Excel to process the acquired data and expressed the results as a percentage success rate of the respondents. Using the "2" statistical method, I investigated if there is a link between a level of knowledge and particular units. I also compared percentage success rate of chosen questions of my respondents with Mgr.Kotyza's respondents. The respondents´ knowledge level reached 27 %. The hypothesis # 1 was accepted: " As to biological agens, so-called dirty bomb and toxins, the knowledge of the members of primary units of the Integrated Rescue System does not reach 80 % of correct answers". The hypothesis # 2: "As to biological agens, so called dirty bomb and toxins, the knowledge of the members of primary units of the Integrated Rescue System does not depend on a type of a particular unit" was rejected based on statistical data when found out that there was a link between specific knowledge and a type of particular units in 71 percent of cases. Comparing Mgr.Kotyza's results, the respondents from the South Bohemia achieved better results than in the Moravian Silesian region. I suppose that the low knowledge level was caused by a lack of training in this field and few opportunities where members can get acquainted with such matters like the biological agens, toxins and so-called dirty bomb.
