The Role of Public Health Authority in the Crisis Management System
MALÍNKOVÁ, Monika
The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out by means of questionnaires whether people know what hygienic and anti-epidemic measures there are in various crisis situations. In addition to that, to map from which information sources people obtain valid information and to find out what role the municipalities have in passing the information on to people. The residents from the Vysočina Region were chosen to fill in the questionnaires. In total, there were 177 respondents aged 18 and over. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part focuses on the legislation concerning the crisis management system, as well as the issue of division and work of regional hygienic stations. It also deals with what to do from the hygienic point of view if there is an epidemic or floods. Last but not least, it deals with SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 pandemic, its time course in the world, as well as in the Czech Republic. The practical part contains the questionnaire survey concerning the activities of regional hygienic stations and SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For the assessment of the survey the data from 177 residents of the Vysočina region aged 18 and over were used. The author of the diploma thesis presents the results of her survey that point to the fact that for 56% of the interviewed residents of the Vysočina region, the most useful information about the current state of emergency was from television. It is apparent that the municipality is not the main informant for its citizens about the state of emergency. Residents often confuse quarantine and isolation. On the contrary, 100% of respondents know what the main symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 are. Last but not least, the results show that 69% respondents from the Vysočina region know the hygienic rules and anti-epidemic measures for SARS-CoV-2. It is good that people try to observe all the government regulations to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This is proved also by the results of the questionnaire survey, in which 80% of the respondents from the Vysočina region claim that they comply with the government regulations, which were communicated in the media.
