| Summary: | A survey of 240 Bulgarian citizens from the Danube region, the Republic of Bulgaria, was conducted to examine their awareness and readiness for protection and proper behavior in floods. The participants in the study were divided into two age groups: young people aged 18 to 39 years and mature from 40 to 64 years. The percentage of respondents who have experienced a flood in the past is high (24%). The two analyzed groups are well informed about the risks and disasters causing epidemics (34% young group and 45% adult group). The groups are well informed about the potential threat of floods in the settlement (45% young group and 25% mature group). We give high marks to the two studied groups for the fact that they have preliminary insurance of the home, property, have a backpack prepared for evacuation, know how to swim and maintain their systematic skills (84%). All this will help in a real situation to save their lives. |
