Background: The risk of an emergency cannot be underestimated and it is necessary to be prepared for emergency management. Knowledge and preparation enhance assessment of the situation and correct decision-making, thus making it possible to provide help to one self as well as other people. Aim: To ascertain the knowledge level about human security during an emergency in a healthcare institution among students of Faculty of Health Sciences, Palacký University Olomouc. Methodology: The sample comprises of 298 students in full-time and part-time study programmes. The knowledge level amongst students was investigated using a quantitative research design and a questionnaire. The research was conducted in the academic year 2017/2018. The results are presented in absolute (n) and relative (%) values. When comparing the responses of students in full-time and part-time programmes, the Student t-test was used. The tests were done on a 5% significance level using TIBCO STATISTICA version 13.3. Results: Student’s knowledge level is insufficient in areas of warning signals for population and appropriate reaction, protection in a radiation emergency, iodine prophylaxis and in selecting the correct fire extinguisher to control a fire. Good knowledge was found in emergency phone numbers. There was no significant difference in knowledge level between full-time and part-time students. A total of 80.87% consider human security during emergency important and would like this subject to be incorporated into study programmes. Conclusion: It is necessary to provide good quality methodology, improve knowledge and practical skills amongst students of non-medical healthcare professions by including human security in emergency and crisis management into current educational programmes.
