The aim is to assess the municipality possibilities of using the material resources in the state property in crisis situations. In accordance with the assignment this work focuses on the principles of using material resources, comprising movable and immovable assets in state ownership, local government units, physical and legal persons, which can be used during solving the crisis situations. In the theoretical part the legislation of the Czech Republic concerning the use of material resources is described. The following chapter is devoted to information systems, which are used in requesting material resources in the state property. The second part of this thesis is based on a questionnaire sent out to mayors of municipalities in the South Bohemia region. The questionnaire contained thirteen questions. The questions were focused on the possibility of optimization of allocating material resources to civil protection during the solution of the crisis situations. The research question was: What is the awareness regarding the use of material resources owned by the state in solving the crisis situations in the selected municipalities? The questionnaire was sent to all municipalities in the South Bohemia region. Only 9% of questionnaires were returned. Each question was processed and evaluated separately using a chart. From the results it is easy to see that the representatives of the municipalities have a clear idea of the material resources available to them. According to our assumption, mayors in larger municipalities or towns are better informed about this issue, probably due to the availability of experts in crisis management
