Solution to the Emergency Survival of the Population in the Event of Blackout

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Prevention and crisis preparedness are among the crucial activities of crisis management authorities. Their goal is to prevent crisis situations, increase resilience, reduce territory vulnerability and increase preparedness of the territory to deal with crisis situations. Implementation of emergency survival is one of the main tasks of crisis management authorities, Integrated Rescue System (IRS) components and other stakeholders to provide protection of health and life of the population affected by the crisis situation. It is necessary to be prepared for tasks related to the emergency survival before the actual crisis situation arises. For this reason, within preparation of each exercise of crisis management authorities, different plans are conceived, one of which is the plan of emergency survival of the population. During preparation of the Blackout 2017 exercise in the South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic, working groups were established to analyse the impacts on life and health of the population, property and environment with regard to ensuring functionality of all key stakeholders. The article focuses on the findings of a working group dealing with a possibility of providing emergency food supplies to the affected population. The findings presented in the article are based on a detailed analysis, working group discussions and a questionnaire survey conducted among the food producers and distributors in the South Bohemian Region. Results show that storage operators, producers (especially of bakery, meat and dairy products), distributors and food sellers are minimally prepared for the blackout (unconnected spare power sources, lack of stock supplies, impossibility of providing food) and they are not prepared to provide protection and quality of food in accordance with the legislation. This is due to the high dependence of other infrastructures used in the food industry (e.g. water management, gas distribution) on the power supply. The most effective way to ensure emergency food supplies is to deliver food from non-affected areas. Food stored in the affected area in contradiction to the law, must be removed.
