Descr. abstrakty - abstracts Language English Country Japan Annotation The aim of the paper is to focus on the public reactions to unexpected situation that happened in the South Moravia (Czech Republic) on 24 June 2021. The communication in medias on the destruction appeared immediately in the Slovak and Czech social networks and a wave of civic engagement led to creation of diverse supporting communities. We would like to present them and to maintain their impact on recovery. Civic engagement and participation in a specific situation such as a disaster largely reflects current trends in society. Especially in the case of the Central European region, such disasters are rare, usually floods, but in this case, it was a strong tornado (F4) for the first time. The society was not prepared for this, which led to immense interest. But when does participation turn into a sensation that occupy social networks? In this case, media coverage, accompanied by various reactions, played a major role in activating the population. Today, over time, we see that invisible reconstruction is taking place gradually, often thanks to civic community, participation, and commitment. Participation means the active participation of individuals in solving social problems and managing public affairs. Civic engagement is understood as one of the basic manifestations of active citizenship. We can see this mainly in the political field, but also in the social field (social engagement, volunteering), but both are complementary.
