Summary/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.
