<b><i>The purpose of the study</i></b>: to explore public perceptions of the extent to which Lithuanian institutions and citizens are prepared for various threats and what measures should be taken to increase public resilience. <br> <b><i>Major investigated questions</i></b>: respondents were asked what currently the greatest threat is to Lithuania and to them personally. They were asked about the resilience of Lithuanian society to crises, emergencies and natural disasters. The survey included a block of statements assessing Lithuania's emergency preparedness (The Lithuanian government would make the right decisions in a crisis; I have full confidence in the ability of Lithuanian emergency services to protect the population; 8 in total). The next block of questions dealt with the readiness of Lithuania and the community in which the respondents live to cope with threats and the readiness of the respondents themselves and their families to cope with the same threats (Environmental threats; Social threats; 5 in total). A list of various government institutions, international and Lithuanian organisations and communities was used to assess trust in these institutions or organisations (International Institutions and Organisations; Lithuanian Armed Forces; 8 in total). Next, respondents were asked whether they thought that most people could be trusted or whether they should be very careful with people. In another block of questions, respondents rated the statements that could describe them (I can adapt to change; I have at least one close and strong relationship; 25 in total). The next block of questions sought to find out to what extent respondents are personally prepared for possible crises or emergencies (Environmental threats; Social threats; 5 in total). Next was to find out if they knew the things they would need in case of a crisis, emergency or war (Where the nearest collective protection buildings and shelters are; Where the evacuation routes are; 7 in total). In the next block, respondents were asked what things/items they had in case of a crisis (Food supplies; Water supplies; 9 in total). Respondents were also asked what measures they had taken to prepare for possible crises and emergencies (I have an emergency bag; I know the evacuation routes; 9 in total). In addition, respondents were asked where they would obtain information in the event of a crisis or war. In a further block of questions, respondents were asked to indicate whether they had friends and/or acquaintances who could help them (Practical help; Help with finances and/or contacts with authorities; 4 in total). Respondents were also asked if there were people they could stay with if they were suddenly forced to leave their home for at least a month (In the immediate neighbourhood; In the village, town or city where you live; 3 in total). Another block of statements was used to explore respondents' social and emotional attachment to their place of residence and to Lithuania in general (I feel close to the place where I live; I feel a sense of belonging to my community; 4 in total). In the block at the end of the survey, respondents had the opportunity to rate the extent of various threats to Lithuanian society (Terrorism; Environmental degradation; 21 in total). <br> <b><i>Socio-demographic characteristics</i></b>: gender, age, nationality, education, marital status, household size, number of children, whether there are people in the household who are unable to look after themselves, income per family member per month, place of residence, respondents' state of health, respondents' position in society, political party for which the respondent will vote or has voted in the 2024 parliamentary elections. <br><br> <b><i> Temporary accessibility restrictions apply for this dataset. Data will be made available without restrictions from 2026-07-01.</i></b>
