of Čezsoča, which was devastated by an earthquake in 1998 (M 5.6). We compared the data on earthquake damage with the data on the real-estate value. Such comparisons make it possible to establish the damage potential of future natural disasters. - (IKR)
This article presents the suitability of the Real Estate Record – a web application of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia – for assessing the damage caused by natural disasters. We performed an analysis for the village
The prevent damege, it is vital to study flood causes and consequences on the regional level and to tackle the problems of local enormous erosion or overflow. In areas market by significant property damage, it is necessary to find out wether
it is caused by improperly situated facilities or relatively objective causes, like extreme discharge values. - (EN)
After the disastrous floods in 1997, 1998 and 2002 in Czech Republic the highest damages were registered in cities and towns. The flood damages require additional measures both on rivers and in catchment area. The flood plain segmentation

This paper describes damage caused by natural disasters in Slovenia and globally between 1995 and 2010. The introductory chapter is devoted to the interpretation of the term damage and related terms, and the vulnerability of society to natural
disasters. The second chapter presents a detailed analysis of the damage and casualties, and highlights the regional differences that result from natural or social conditions. The third chapter deals in detail with the direct damage caused by natural

value were also presented and evaluated. Two key issues, which can prevent the damage by soil erosion, i.e. tolerance for agrochemicals and self-restoration capacity of ecological environments should be addressed in the near future.
and environmental security in the long term, the level of soil tolerance (T value) must be determined in a scientific manner. This overview summarized the development of T value. The factors influencing T value were then discussed, and the calculation methods for T
Ski runs and lifts in the Black Forest have removed vegetation cover and topsoil and caused soil erosion and solifluction. Damage varies with snow depth and duration of snow cover. Summer grazing and slope grading construction exacerbates

During the winter of 1980-81 serious damage occurred to public roads in Hungary. Weather, the properties of road fill material, the traffic of heavy vehicles and the quality of pavement have been proved to be major factors influencing the extent
Trampling damage to vegetation and soil cover within the Burren National Park, Mullach Mor, Co. Clare
Between 1986 and 1992, surveillance of three selected paths revealed a pattern of increasing damage to vegetation and soil cover. An attempt was made to quantify the extent of trampling damage, and to examine possible causes of observed spatial
variation in the severity of damage. Some implications for management policy within the National Park are explored.
The subjects of analysis were the hydrological parameters of flash floods as well as the physiographic parameters of the Nida Basin. The part of the basin in which bank full capacity has been exceeded and damage done has been described using
physiographic parameters. The analysis pointed out characteristic values of the analyzed basins. Moreover, the outcomes indicated that the basins are susceptible to the appearance of violent floods. The parameters of basins can be examined prior to the event
This paper describes the styles and intensities of hurricane damage and provides information on the factors that increase damage from wind, storm surge and inland flooding. It is based on both published studies of Hurricane Andrew (1992), Iniki
(1992), Bob (1991) and Hugo (1989) plus ground and aerial studies of the damage effects of those storms by the A. Information is synthesized from a number of different cognate fields because a holistic view of hurricane damage is essential if we
are to minimize loss of life and structural damage in future hurricanes.

Records of extremely damaging storms in the United States during the years 1949-2006 were assessed to define their temporal distribution. A change in climate due to global warming may lead to more weather extremes, including storms. The aim
of this study was to learn if the frequency of highly damaging storms had increased. The number of storms at both loss levels has increased dramatically since 1990, and storm-related losses also increased. Much of the increased loss and greater storminess
A new approach to the assessment and delimitation of environmentally damaged areas in the Czech Republic
New criteria and methodology for geographical delimitation and differentiation of environmentally damaged areas are proposed. This approach is based on ecological, social and health load assessment on the municipality area level by means of 27
Forest condition and forest damages. Contribution of remote sensing to different approaches
The development of inventory activities in the field of forest damage assessment and monitoring during the last decade in Germany and the present state are recorded as far as remote sensing has been involved. Any forest inventory is influenced

The study of Drought, Flood and Waterlogging Damage (DFWD) aims at mainly solving 4 basic problems : 1) the change sequence in historical period; 2) the mechanism and trigger event; 3) the loss estimation; 4) the measures of prevention and control
