Means of population protection against chemical hazards during emergency situations
 MRÁZKOVÁ, Silvie
This diploma thesis deals with the methods of population protection from hazardous chemicals in the event of an emergency situation. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of legislation that governs hazardous chemicals and it pays special attention to the risks related to the transportation of hazardous chemicals and their subsequent leakage. The thesis describes selected hazardous chemicals and informs of accidents that have happened recently. It is also pays attention to warnings, evacuation, providing shelter and the means of improvised protection, which is the most important factor for common public. People meet tanker cars transporting chemicals everywhere and every day; therefore, the protection of population should be aimed in this direction. People often do not know how to behave in situations like this. A questionnaire was compiled for research in the practical part; the questionnaire was intended to find out about the level of knowledge among people. Through the evaluation of population informedness and based on the questionnaire results, a suitable form of education was proposed to fill a gap in the knowledge (a pocket guide). At the same time, the questionnaires were distributed among the staff of the Fire and Rescue System with the aim of confirming their preparedness as well. The preparedness of the Fire and Rescue System is also documented by the analysis of photographs from a tactical drill aimed at a leakage of a hazardous chemical during transport.

Model study of leakage of hazardous chemicals with regard to the Integrated Rescue System and the preparedness of the population.
 MRÁZ, Jan
This thesis deals with creating a model for cases of hazardous chemicals leakages, especially of agricultural fertilizers. The thesis is divided into two parts ? a theoretical one and a practical one. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the reader to the concept of population protection and its history. It adds definitions of basic terminology and legislation related to the protection of the population. A look into history brings a selection of the most serious chemical disasters. The last chapters describe in general the principles of plant fertilization and provide a list of the most widely used agricultural fertilizers. The objective of the thesis is to compile a list of commonly used agricultural fertilizers and to create a model of a leakage of hazardous chemicals. The model will be created using a software tool called TerEx. The creation of the model was based on the study of emergency response plans and personal consultations. This thesis, along with photographs taken, can serve the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) as a model study of a given area with its mapping. The research is supplemented by a questionnaire examining the preparedness of the population and the IRS members. Evaluation of the questionnaire enabled to verify the validity of both the hypotheses and to draw recommendations for the protection of the population.
