From the beginning of times people have encountered emergency situations which endanger their lives, health, properties and also the environment. Communities often try to prevent the impact of these situations or at the very least minimize the consequences. Depending on the particular society{\crq}s economic development, various precautionary measures have been implemented. My dissertation work addresses the current laws relating to crisis management in the Czech Republic. Fundamental principles are also explained. Main goals of my work were as following: 1. To compare South Bohemian towns and their respective legislation 2. To administer a questionnaire among a sample population 1. My selection consisted of five towns in the South Bohemian region. These were: Pisek, Jindrichuv Hradec, Sobeslav, Trebon and Cesky Krumlov. Prior to me visiting these towns, I made arrangements with its local representatives, specifically with those responsible for crisis management. I was able to inquire about their processes and conduct interviews. I have concentrated on the following areas: Process of informing population and emergency management Education of citizens, publication and distribution of educational materials School lectures/meetings Crisis management form Structure of emergency management authorities 2. My research focused on the population readiness and responsibilities during crisis and the means by which population is informed of a crisis. Questionnaire was distributed to the employees of local government offices of all five towns, and also to a random sample of citizen in two out of the five towns. I collected 132 questionnaires. My dissertation includes 8 tables and 2 graphs prepared based on the gathered data. Conclusion: Local governments and their employees dedicate significant amount of time and attention to crisis management. They follow the norms and regulations. Existing differences may be discussed and in the future it could facilitate integration of the system and improve the cooperation. Population is well informed of basic safety-principles.
