This paper deals with the results of research on the laboratory analysis of firefighting water in fire trucks and the possibility of its disinfection for subsequent use as an alternative source of safe water supply to the affected areas. The quality of the water in these vehicles after filling the internal tank is relatively unclear. For this purpose, over a period of 5 months (July to November), water samples were taken from firefighting trucks. The samples were then analyzed in an accredited laboratory. Laborato...

The threats of global change in the 21st century are becoming increasingly significant. Soon, humanity will face not only new climatic phenomena, but also many other related events, which clearly include demographic unrest on many continents. The consequences of these events will be reflected in increased tensions between countries, peoples and groups of people, who will tend to avoid new, in many cases negative, conditions. .

Every country in the world has to be ready in time to deal with extraordinary crisis situations. One of the primary approaches is to have a good knowledge of the threats, which can cut off technical operational equipment of the infrastructure or significantly limit their functionality. Due to the fact, that most structures of the technical infrastructure are currently on an international scale, it is necessary to deal with these crisis events, e.g. in EU countries, by way of mutually accepted legislation and metho...

Drinking water is one of the critical resources, but still not accessible to everyone. In case of a crisis event, this state can even worsen depending on the manner of the crisis event. Therefore, it is important to protect drinking water resources and monitor activities that can threaten the safety of drinking water e. g. industrial, agricultural activities, building of technical infrastructure or insufficient management of water facilities etc. Although there has not been in-depth research, there is evidence of ...

The road and rail infrastructure together with the technical infrastructure is a determining factor of the present daylife of human society, function of cities and municipalities. With the internationally developing cooperation and business within the European countries, the number of transport constructions of the motorway character grows over the areas, where it is necessary to build from the technically operational reasons extensive flyovers or tunnel constructions. The number of these constructions must meet r...
