EN The research problem undertaken by the authors focuses on increasing resilience in the event of a threat or crisis, taking into account two pillars of activity: civil planning and public education. The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has shown that the developed anti-epidemic plans and procedures were not compatible with the development and dynamics of the spread of the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Moreover, actions aimed at building resilience proposed in many European documents concern primarily institutional structures, leaving citizens themselves somewhat on the sidelines. According to the authors, this is clearly an unfavourable approach, because citizens also need to be prepared for crises through educating and increasing their social awareness in the context of potential threats. The article presents selected aspects of survey research conducted in a group of academic youth (n=138). The survey comprised students of subjects related to security in its broadest sense. The designed research tool – A questionnaire for examining students’ opinions on health safety during the pandemic – is intended to identify students’ opinions on selected aspects of institutional activities, as well as personal beliefs, opinions and activities undertaken in the context of the current Sars-Cov-2 virus pandemic. The research results presented in the article refer to detailed research questions and answer questions about students’ preferred sources of knowledge about threats, especially health threats. The research revealed a clear lack of trust in the content provided at university and a preference for the Internet as a source of knowledge, which should be considered a disturbing phenomenon, especially among people responsible for ensuring public safety in the future. The authors hope to spark a discussion among experts.
