Flooding is one of the most common natural
hazards that produce substantial loss of life and property. Continuous, heavy
rainfall with low pressure area affected a large area of Southeastern and
Central Europe, resulted in extensive flooding in Croatia and neighboring
countries.
The paper presents a review of structural
measuresthat were taken to cope with floods in some cities
alongthe Sava river in north-east part of Croatia (Slavonia).The aim of
this study was to highlight the risks that may expand to major consequences
after occurrence of a disaster of this magnitude.
Due to many variables, health authorities
pointed the potential health exposure risks (communicable diseases occurrence
and spread) according to which recovery phase activities were taken. Flood risk
management and post-disaster assessments has high level of development in
flood-prone areas in Croatia.
