PREVENCIJA I SANIRANJE POSLJEDICA

especially floods on the telecommunications infrastructure and services. Interruption of
telecommunication services is inevitable in all big natural disasters. Sophisticated telecommunications
infrastructure is by its nature very vulnerable. On the other hand, it is critical in terms of maintaining
communications in the affected place and necessary for the maintenance of minimum conditions for
the functioning of society in emergency circumstances. With that in mind, it is clearly important to
undertake activities aimed at raising the level of reliability of supply of telecommunications services
in situations of natural disasters as well as shortening the time to establish the full functionality of the
network. The paper will be using the experience from the world's the largest floods in the last 15 years
and special attention will be given to the May floods in 2014 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
