This article describes the risk analysis and method of risk mapping in the town of Uherský Brod invented by the Fire Rescue Service of the Moravian-Silesian Region on the basis of the methodology recommended by the European Union. QGIS software tool was used for risk mapping in order to visualize the maps. The risk analysis was performed on the basis of identification of types of hazards that are very likely to occur in Uherský Brod.
