According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) nearly 70 percent of different natural disasters, have been related to the climate and weather. In the presented master's thesis different definitions of drought and flood events were reviewed.
In recent decades we have seen more pronounced weather phenomena, which we conclude prediction of climate change. Contingenxy plans must be adapted to these changed circumstances, in the formulation of national plans in the event of a flood or drought, bouth in terms od prevention and in action and mitigation of consequences when natural disaster occurs. The master's thesis provides an overview of the frequency of floods and droughts that occur around the world, in Europe and in Slovenia. Basic laws, regulations and a directive in the field of protection against natural disasters are given, including drought and floods. In this work, with the help of foreign and domestic literature, I obtained information on the phenomenon of drought and floods around the world, in Europe and in Slovenia. Through the literature, I have reviewed the causes of droughts and floods, where the phenomena most often occur and what consequences they cause with their actions. The work also describes past severe drought and flood events in Slovenia. With the help of past trends and analyzes of meteorological services, we can more easily predict the occurrence of droughts and floods in the future. It also describes the effective active and passive measures that need to be taken to minimize the consequences of droughts or floods to an acceptable level. A plan for protection and rescue in the event of natural and other disasters is also presented, which makes it easier to prepare for drought and flood events and, consequently, to alleviate the consequences when a natural disaster has already occurred.
