Abstract
For the Czech Republic, floods represents the highest direct risk stemming from natural disasters and they can be a casual factor of serious crises, which can be associated with high material property damages, ecological and cultural damages and also losses of human lives in the areas affected by floods. The flood events have their genesis almost exclusively inside the borders of the country and are provoked by snowmelt in the period from December to April, and by precipitation in the period from May to August.
