Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discover the level of knowledge that vulnerable groups such as children,
youth, as well as persons (students) with special needs, from North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Spain have in relation to the protection and rescue system and their needs for training improvement. Taking in consideration that very often that vulnerable groups, are neglected in every stage of the disaster risk management, motivated us to conduct this research and to contribute to building stronger and inclusive community resilience. In this research we used quantitative research method (questionnaire) answered
by vulnerable groups, separately in each of these countries. In our research we respected gender equality and we have almost the same distribution of female and male respondents. Questionnaire consisted of 19 questions, 3 of them were open-ended, other 16 close ended. The first 6 questions were in line with the general information about the participants, other refer to the 5 specific areas of our research.
Conclusion from the research is that most of the participants are not familiar with the possible ways to
give alerts for the dangers, the instructions for protection, rescue, assistance, and they need training about possible ways to report and warn about dangers, give instructions on protection, rescue, and assistance.
