This article deals with the topic of environmental hazards within geographical education. It describes how issues of environmental hazards at the local level can be communicated in education. The suggested method is project teaching divided into three levels. The first level aims at imparting general knowledge about a hazard and its appropriate terminology. The second level is based on protection against the hazard, and the last part deals with appropriate protection against the hazard in future. As an example, floods were chosen as a hazard that is very significant in the Czech Republic. The project presented here was partly performed using the Google Earth application that presents theoretical information applied in practice and includes some field work focused on the impact of previous floods. This project has been undertaken twice. An evaluation of the results can be found in the final part of this article.
