Anticipation, avoidance and reduction of the impact of threats have become a real challenge for contemporary generations. The old perception of threats characteristic of the 20th century (armed conflicts, global wars etc.) is no longer valid in the 21st century. Nowadays the forces of nature constitute the biggest threat. Therefore, it is vital to prepare and be ready for natural disasters, outbursts of epidemics among humans and animals, and for technical failures. It should be noticed, that in counteracting threats which occur in modern world it is necessary for a number of services to closely cooperate with one another. Floods are one of the most common threats against universal security in Poland. For the sake of efficiency, it is vital to organize cooperation between city or communal guards, the Police forces and the National Fire Service in order to assure smooth course of operations in case of a flood. The paper contains a description of the above mentioned cooperation and ends with some recommendations with respect to strengthening of the efficiency of cooperation between the services under discussion
