Summary/Abstract: „Risk assessment and people and material goods protection plan from natural and other disasters is recognition and analysis of potential events that could negatively affect people as well as its material goods and living environment. Risk assessments from natural and other disasters can be observed as drawing conclusions about the possibility of submitting risk based on risk analysis, considering the impact factors primarily looking at the risk for which the assessment is made. Prior to creation of risk assessment, it is necessary to differentiate terms 'danger' and 'risk'.„Danger, known as hazard, is source of possible damage / destruction of human lives and its material goods. Danger is possible source of damage. Occurrences, events or circumstances can represent danger in the form of harm to human health, life, property or any other values. Probability that this damage will occur in specific case and in combination with size of potential damage, create risk, a term that is often used synonymously in speech, but in creation of risk assessments it has to be considered as a separate term. Risk signifies probability that potential danger is achieved as consequence for people and material goods, i.e. the risk is the probability of the occurrence of a harmful event in the form of damage to human health / life or damage to property and the environment. „Risk=impact of danger*probability of occurrence “(Garaplija, 2018).
