CATASTROPHIC RISKS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND SERBIA WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE FLOODS

Abstract

We are witnessing increasingly frequent occurrence
of natural disasters both in the world and
in the region of the former Yugoslav republics.
Precisely, natural disasters are becoming one of
the most significant problems in disrupting the
further development of human civilization.
Catastrophic risks, occur as natural disasters,
as well as due to the effects of human
factors, leave behind huge material losses
and casualties.
These risks are growing in intensity and frequency
on a global scale, and are therefore
one of the key threats to sustainable development
in modern conditions.
