Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the perception of key crisis management issues by residents of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and their impact on the sense of security in local communities. Based on empirical research, various threats have been identified, including floods, fires, hurricanes, strong winds, and environmental pollution, which affect the region's residents to varying degrees. The analysis reveals differences in threat perception, stemming from local conditions, individual experiences, and social awareness. The research indicates that while most residents of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship feel significantly safe, certain groups are more vulnerable to specific problems, such as floods in river valleys or pollution in industrial areas. The author emphasizes the need to adapt crisis management strategies to local needs and the specific nature of threats in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, which is crucial for maintaining a stable level of security in the region.
