In emergency situations and during military operations, the preparedness of people is of particular
importance. Education and preparation of the population for emergency situations and civil defense
issues is carried out in advance in peaceful and regular conditions.
However, people always need practical, concrete tools that will allow them to collect necessary
information in emergency situations in a concise and practical form. In this regard, the authors of the
present paper propose the use of the “Personal Readiness Assessment Checklist” they have developed,
which indicates clear stages in the preparation of forms for protecting the population in emergency
situations. The authors advise all readers to complete the application and use it to increase their own
and others’ protection.
