1 Disaster epidemiology and risk assessment in SEE countries
South East European (SEE) countries have history of devastating earthquakes, floods, landslides, drought, extreme temperature, wildfires and windstorms that have caused economic and human losses across the region. Often these disasters, which transcend borders, overwhelm the management capacity of a single country. Also, the level of preparedness and prevention varies from country to country, and regional cooperation does not exist to the extent necessary. Because of this high vulnerability, and the relatively small size of the countries in the SEE region, as well as the historical links between them, it will be more efficient and economically prudent for the region’s countries to cooperate in the areas of education and disaster preparedness and prevention. The presented data in this lecture refer to the selected countries from SEE region even thought regional analysis of disaster impact and risk assessment is made using the analysis for all 10 SEE countries.

2 Learning objectives Main learning objective is to present disaster epidemiology data of the SEE countries To teach students how to use hazard analysis and vulnerabilities assessment for risk disaster analysis To explain how standard disaster indicators like number of events, number of deaths, umber of victims and economical lost can be used for disaster impact evaluation To explain the meaning of hazard risk management framework matrix as a practical tool for understanding disaster preparedness The main objectives of this lecture are to make review of assessed risks for selected SEE countries – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro (by alphabetical order) and their common vulnerabilities; to review existing capacities; and to identify needs, means of cooperation, education and training and investment priorities to promote preparedness and to upgrade emergency response capabilities.

5 Hazard and vulnerability analysis for risk assessment
Risk assessment – evaluation of natural and man made hazards Disaster risk – number of events per year or incidence of disaster Disaster ranking (disaster risk for each country) Disaster impact – relative vulnerability Number of events and trends, Number of deaths and victims (affected population) Economic lost

The country is highly vulnerable to earthquake, flood and landslide. During , floods accounted for the major share of disaster events (32 %), followed by earthquakes (18 %). There were two technological hazards reported during this period; one transport accident and one industrial accident, in 1991 and 2004 respectively. Incidence of hazard events in the country ( ) shows that there has been a steady increase in the number of events.

The number of victims per event is high for flood and windstorm, showing the severity of these events compared to other hazards. Bulgaria is more vulnerable to flood than to any other hazard. As the country has historic records of major earthquakes, there is a high probability of earthquake occurrence in the country 2 2000
