The Current Tasks and Methods of the Preparation of the Population for Floods

Abstract

Preparing the population for emergencies is indispensable because the success of this activity can greatly facilitate the creation or maintenance of security: the safety of human lives and material goods, saving them in case of danger, increasing the efficiency of the intervention and minimising the damage caused. Preparation can take place through multiple channels. Today, more and more platforms are emerging for communication purposes, so they can be used in the disaster management and flood preparation of the population as well. The authors set out to describe the current roles and tasks in preparing the population, and to present new ways to support this, which can greatly help to prepare the population for a possible flood.
