Summary/Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of the article is to present the declaration of the population in the context of building individual resilience in light of preparation for the occurrence of various types of threats, and to provide recommendations for further research on this issue. Methods: To conduct the study, from the group of theoretical methods, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, comparison, generalization and inference were used. And from the group of empirical methods, the method used was a diagnostic survey using the survey technique, more specifically, the Computer Assisted Web Interviewing method, which was conducted from June to October 2024 on a representative group of the population of the Mazovian region. Results: The survey showed that the population is poorly prepared for natural hazards, technical hazards, biological hazards, terrorist hazards and ICT network disruptions In addition, a low level of preparedness was classified by considering hazards caused by hybrid actions. It was observed that a small percentage of respondents prepare an evacuation backpack, and have low awareness of community initiatives in the context of building social resilience. Conclusions: The results indicate the need to strengthen public resilience through comprehensive education, as well as raising awareness in the context of individual preparedness of the population for various threats. In addition, there is a need to better inform the public about available campaigns, training, courses, or tests of the public alert and warning system.
