Exploring the Possibilities of Citizen Preparation For Extreme Weather Events – An International Outlook

Absztrakt

Meteorological phenomena cause damage events and disasters worldwide that heavily burden the public administration, the tasks of the defence sector and the everyday life of the society. Responses to the consequences of extreme weather can only be effective if the population is actively involved in the struggle against the harmful effects and is wellprepared.

In this paper, the author makes an attempt to present, analyse and examine the meteorological and climatic impacts within some of the world's natural disasters, and explore some opportunities and methods for preparing the population for extreme weather events through some international examples.
