Dissemination of the hoaxes and misinformation can exacerbate the consequences ofindustrial accidents with disastrous consequences for the environment. There arewarning examples from the past that the intentional misinformation may cause fatalconsequences. Three major industrial incidents introduced proofs the importance of thecorrect and true information. It demonstrates the sensitivity of any event on thecorrectness of information sources especially at the beginning of the accident in thecritical time for the pe...

The tornado phenomenon is getting to more attention in recent years due its unexpectedoccurrence in the areas where it was traditionally extremely rare. The European strongesttornado since 2001 appeared in Southern Morava region, Czech Republic, June 24th 2021.The paper deals with the incidence of tornadoes, the ways of prediction and measurementas well as the protection advices. The believed life cycle and possibilities of themonitoring, forecasting with the current satellite system as well as their limits werein...

Reduced air supply, significant temperature rise, dense smoke, are the characteristic factors of fires taking place in the interior of buildings. The interior fires often cause dangerous phenomena such as flashover and rollover, and in some cases massive explosions of accumulated emissions of combustion called backdraft. These phenomena and the course of fire temperatures in the areas are the subject of many studies in order to understand them as well as possible. The main goal of the paper is therefore to enrich ...

The risk analysis as a part of risk assessment by RM/RA CRAMM method is a critical step in order to calculate final risk values for all the subjects assessed. Step-by-step risk analysis includes major natural and industrial hazards such as flood, land-slide, forest fire and chemical leakage. Both, the air-pollution and respiration ways irritation are part of the risk assessed. The risk assessment scoreboards are used repeatedly for each type of hazard source. The method takes into account a previous risk identific...

The chemical hazard for Pezinok District is analysed. Risk identification of the objects with high amounts of chemicals includes both industrial and the common civil objects and facilities. The highest possible number of people under the risk in case of chemical leakage as a result of terrorist attack is taken into account as well as the health consequences according the certain concentration of the chemical matter. The air pollution period and environmental impact on the fauna and flora, including soil contaminat...

RM/RA CRAMM method is a multispectral method for risk management including risk assessment process. It is used mainly for environmental, technology and social threats including major natural emergency events e.g. floods, forest fires, whirlwinds, earthquakes, landslides etc. The paper explains the logic of the method and its application though the Risk Assessment Scoreboard with quantitative inputs and outputs calculated by a simple logic function. The method respects its main sources - EN 31001 Risk management an...
