Natural Disasters´ Management and Detection of Priority Problems for Future Research
Author:
Abstract: Natural disasters threaten the humans from time immemorial. They are caused both by the processes in the Earth core and Earth surface, or in the atmosphere, and by the processes in the vicinity of the Planet. From the current knowledge it follows that in human system various phenomena take place in the development process that are the expression of its development or of the development of systems that create it. The research was targeted to natural disasters such as: avalanches; hot wet summer days; drought; dams rupture; floods; tsunami; earthquakes; volcanic eruptions; landslides; rocks tumbling down (rock fall); forest fires; wind storms; tornados; excessive rain or snow falls ; and gas erosions from the core. It identifies deficits at natural disaster management from the viewpoint of safe community concept that has been promoted by the EU since 2004.
