Abstract
This assessment of societal readiness and resilience to water-related situations in the Czech Republic focuses on an interdisciplinary approach in the Czech Republic for solving this problem. The goal of the article is to evaluate and characterize the preparedness for handling water-related crises. The analysis is carried out via a SWOT analysis, which is a universal analytical method used to understand and interpret strengths and weaknesses and to identify opportunities and threats. For the calculation of the weight factor of the SWOT analysis, an assessment was determined based on the multicriteria analysis. The pair comparison method was used to determine the relative importance of the parameters of the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The Fuller Triangle method was chosen for the system used to make the comparisons of the individual criteria. The uniqueness of the study consists of the issue of water management, which is thus reflected from a non-traditional perspective, being a contemporary model—the paradigm of the view on the preparedness of the planning documentation as one of the characteristics of societal resilience for water-related crises. The result of the research is the fact that a positive approach prevails in the researched area from the perspective of preparedness for water-related crises. For the creation of the conditions, the factors arising from the internal environment currently prevail slightly over those arising from the external environment.

Summary
Water is often characterized as one of the basic components required for life. A second viewpoint is that water is a natural element which threatens human society via floods. Human activities have significantly interfered with the environment and in doing so have altered the behavior of surface as well as underground water in the landscape. Water is becoming an increasingly precious liquid and simultaneously a feared element. In order to protect the values it has built up, society strives to adopt measures with the aim of preventing or minimizing risks. Water management in the area of drinking water and protection against its negative aspects are some of the important activities carried out by a dynamically developing society on the level of communities and countries, and on an international level
