The sus ainabili y o a e i o y is closely ela ed o he p epa edness o deal wi h ex ao dina y

The ways and p inciples o he isk assessmen ha e a his o ical backg ound based on he so-called
“Yokohama S a egy o a Sa e Wo ld”, which included he undamen al p inciples o a educ ion o

]. An e alua ion o p e ious plans o disas e isk

The c ucial pa o he Eu opean Union’s ci il p o ec ion mechanisms is no only he isk
assessmen , bu also he sha ing o knowledge, bes p ac ices, and in o ma ion. The Membe S a es o
he Eu opean Union ca y ou a isk assessmen e e y h ee yea s. The impo ance o isk p e en ion

The p inciples o ensu ing he sa e y o a e i o y is add essed in sa e y planning. Eme gency

The p epa a ion o sa e y plans is closely associa ed wi h spa ial planning, which in he
Czech Republic is di ided in o spa ial analysis documen s and spa ial planning documen a ion [

The asks o spa ial planning include assessing he s a e o he e i o y, i s na u al, cul u al,

ha e been also aken in o accoun in he spa ial planning [18].
In he isk assessmen o he la ge a eas, he echnique o mul idimensional analysis has been used.
The esul s o he analysis enable o be e iden i y he isk a eas om he pe spec i e o na u ogenic

The isk iden i ica ion mus be also accompanied by a quan i ica ion p ocess. Howe e , in some

The p esen has been cha ac e ized by a complex assessmen o e i o ial isks, i.e., by he
