The Impact of the Natural Hazard Flooding in East Part of Croatia-Reducing Possible Consequences

In recent decades we have witnessed more frequent and stronger weather and climate extremes: more frequent heat waves, heavy precipitation but also prolonged drought and strong winds. This trend was significant not only for Croatia but also the whole world, and it is a result of global climate changes.

Natural Hazard Flooding
This study highlights the potential health exposure risks (communicable diseases occurrence and spread) according to which recovery phase activities were taken, as well as the synoptic analysis of the weather situation which describes the terms and processes that led to a record rain fall and flooding of massive proportions.

During a weather front that passed over north-east of Croatia on May 2014, extreme rainfall events were triggered causing several severe flash floods. Ground and altitude synoptic analysis of weather situation describes the terms and processes that led to extreme rainfall.
