Abstract: The evaluation of the location vulnerability is one of the most complex problems we are facing when trying to protect the population safety. One of the areas of vulnerability evaluation, which has been mostly ignored in the past, is the assessment of the area from the point of view of the social structure of the population living there. For such purposes, SFVI (Social Flood Vulnerability Index) has been developed in Great Britain, capable of evaluation “tangible” damages caused by fl oods. This article evaluates the possibilities of using this index in the Czech Republic. in the production, loss of turbulences, in the production in regions not impacted by fl oods, unemployment, in fl ation Emotional of the to ecosystems ooded of relief effort Stress from evacuation
