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.
Biohazard and readiness of rescue teams.
KLÍMOVÁ, Veronika
Biohazard and readiness of rescue teams The thesis deals with biohazard and with the readiness of rescue forces. This issue has been discussed little even though some groups more and more draw the attention to imminent danger and panic connected with it, mainly due to terrorism. Another part deals with making alert, provision of medical care at the side of the incident and subsequent triage with the specimen of a registration card that facilitates orientation of the patient?s condition. There are also discussed tasks and activities of basic forces of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS), where there must be print action analysis of an object found with a suspicion of the presence of B-agens. Activities of the NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) teams are mentioned here only marginally. These teams are involved in dealing with contamination and focused on further actions. The next chapter deals with various types of protective instruments that are able to protect us against B-agens. Further on, mechanisms and methods of decontamination are described together with other measures against spread of contamination. Another part of the thesis deals with biological weapons or B-agens that cause various diseases and illnesses. They are divided according to categories and pathogens. These infectious diseases are here described according to their severity. The objective of this work was to describe the most significant combat biological agens that could be abused by terrorist organizations and the procedures of the IRS forces in joint actions. By means of hypotheses I tried to find out whether the basic forces of the IRS have sufficient information and material security. I compiled a questionnaire with 21 questions, where there was always only one right answer to each question. I handed out the questionnaires at ambulance stations, fire rescue brigade stations and Police of the Czech Republic stations in South Bohemian Region.
