From the view of coordination in the security sector, these two natural disasters represent excellent case studies, given the entirely different conditions in which the entire national security system had to be engaged.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left:19.85pt;&quot;&gt;This study examines the similarities and differences in response to two different security challenges and the effects of the measures taken. We have in mind that these are security challenges that have a common origin &amp;ndash; nature. Still, they also have numerous differences, primarily concerning the population and the unequal potential to harm the health of the population, property, and economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-left:19.85pt;&quot;&gt;With this in mind, we assumed that coordination in the security sector had different models in order to provide the most effective response in addressing the challenges. We concluded that the similarities in these two cases manifested themselves at the normative level. Extraordinary circumstances were declared, and certain regulations changed to provide for the most efficient use of security resources. In both cases, the management of the fight against challenges was centralized. Yet, the difference was manifested in the level of that centralization, which was appropriate to the circumstances and ultimately allowed high efficiency in countering the hazards and their consequences.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">213</style></section></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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stelian Dimitrov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Impact of Climate Change on the Floods in Bulgaria</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%">climate change</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">floods</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">precipitation</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;In the Republic of Bulgaria, floods caused by natural phenomena or human activity may have adverse effects. 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></records></xml>
