Therefore, reducing the risk of disasters is of primary importance for the sustainable development of the country. The impact of climate change is expected to rise in the coming decades and to lead to increase in the frequency and magnitude of disasters. More frequent and stronger storms and floods, as well as long-lasting droughts and devastation forest fires can have particularly harmful effect on existing opportunities for society after such dangerous events. For this reason, and because of the complexity and extent of the disasters, unification of the efforts of all responsible institutions and their active inclusion in disaster risk reduction activities is necessary. These measures are expected to lead to a significant reduction in human, social, economic and natural damage and losses. This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the floods in Bulgaria for the time period 2010 &amp;ndash; 2017. The study is based on precipitation in Bulgaria reflecting climate change. Existing statistical data is reviewed and analyzed and, based on that, recommendations are formulated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper is included in the program of &lt;a href=&quot;https://digilience.org&quot;&gt;DIGILIENCE 2019&lt;/a&gt; and will be published in the post-conference volume.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rositsa Velichkova</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iskra Simova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wildland Fire Suppression Measures with Water Resources from Nature</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DIGILIENCE 2019</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">criteria for non-flammability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">physical geographic features</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wildfire</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-4 October</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia, Bulgaria</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Wildland fires occur and spread more often in hard-to-reach areas, quickly covering big territories due to the presence of combustible materials in the understory along with favorable meteorological conditions. The occurrence of fires is mainly due to two factors - human activities and natural phenomena. The subject of the current research paper does not focus on these factors, but on the idea of using the natural resources on fire-affected terrain. Fire suppression measures are primarily done with water and, in very rare cases, with chemicals. In these cases, the provision of sufficient sources of water in the vicinity of the burning terrain is crucial. That is why analysis of the terrain with its hydrological characteristics - the flow in time, especially in the driest months of the year, is required. This assumption is used as base and illustrated with a specific example of a geographically defined area, serving as a proof for the proposed idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This paper is included in the program of &lt;a href=&quot;https://digilience.org&quot;&gt;DIGILIENCE 2019&lt;/a&gt; and will be published in the post-conference volume.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
