Large-scale power outages, known as blackouts, pose a significant threat to national energy security and the operational continuity of key infrastructure systems. Current conditions – including geopolitical conflicts, the energy transition, and cyber threats – have increased the likelihood of such events occurring in Poland. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and awareness among Polish citizens regarding the risk of blackouts, as well as their preparedness for such crises. The research problem focused on finding whether Polish society is sufficiently informed and prepared to respond effectively in the event of a large-scale power outage. The working hypothesis assumed that while citizens may be aware of the general threat, their actual preparedness and knowledge of appropriate response measures remain insufficient. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among 125 respondents, analyzing their understanding of blackout risks, perceived threat level, practical readiness, and interest in educational resources. The vast majority of participants reported being aware of the blackout phenomenon and perceived its occurrence in Poland as a realistic possibility. However, their preparatory actions were often selective and inadequate. The findings highlight a pressing need for the development of accessible and practical educational materials. This study provides valuable insights into the current state of public preparedness and can support future educational and systemic planning efforts.
