Abstract

Over the past decades, an increasing number of floods has been observed on the territory of Bulgaria. Regardless of the causes (natural or anthropogenic), floods pose a real danger to human life and health. Therefore, the rules of conduct of the population before, during and after
a flood are extremely important.
The purpose of this publication is to compare the awareness of the population in different time periods about the rules of proper conduct during a flood.
Material and methods: Statistical, comparative and descriptive methods were used. The survey conducted is part
of a long-term study and is a comparative analysis covering respondents from 2015 (309) and 2021(250). The survey data shows that 59.6% of the respondents are aware of the rules of conduct in case of flooding. It is not a small percentage of the remaining 40.4% of respondents for whom continuing
education and awareness is needed. Conclusion: Preventive measures among the population and sufficient awareness are a guarantee for good preparation, response and choice of methods to prevent negative consequences among the population during a flood.
