  • 1 Faculty of Security Engineering – University of Ţilina, the Slovak Republic

Abstract

Changes in the security environment should therefore be reflected by this system in order to prepare the population on the crisis events that have not yet occurred or have not occurred to such an extent or magnitude. The aim of the article is to examine the current system of civil protection in the Slovak Republic from the point of view of activities devoted to the preparation of the population and to the analysis of the population itself for crisis events through the analysis of the questionnaire survey results. Initial results indicate clear deficiencies both in the civil protection systems and in the preparedness of the population for crisis situations.
