Summary
The Czech Republic is constantly preparing for the possible emergence and need to address emergencies and their consequences. The highest priority in this preparation is preparation to prevent the development of its own extraordinary event and its liquidation. Addressing the consequences for the property of the city and private individuals is therefore expelled later. One way to get the forces that will remove the consequences in parallel with the interference is to use volunteers who will want to help from different motives. The problem, however, is when volunteers and how they can help. The whole issue is focused on the organizations involved in the process, their activities and possibilities.
