Abstract

The paper is dealing with the evaluation of selected dynamic modelling tools to support disaster risk management at a chosen place. We also introduce the approach and results of modelling the forest fire and flood behaviour. For fire modelling the FARSITE environment was applied. For flood behaviour modelling we applied the HECRAS and HECGeoRAS environments. The experimental area for forest fire behaviour modelling is a locality situated in Stare Hory cadastral unit, Slovakia, which was affected by a forest fire in 2011. For flood modelling a part of the Krupinica watercourse catchment area was chosen, which threatens the town of Krupina. Based on the flood and fire modelling results acquired during and after the fire and flood, we strongly recommend the implementation of the above mentioned modelling tools for crisis and disaster management.
