Abstract


Climate change in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainly manifested through the increasingly common occurrence of rain with a significant amount of precipitation in one hour, which causes floods. Floods cause great material and intangible damage per population and often endanger human lives. The road network in such situations has crucial importance to take urgent intervention measures and rescue people, animals and material goods. This paper is focused on the natural flood disaster and its influence on road infrastructure and presents the risk assessment methodology and determines critical road sections of main roads in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, analyzing data on 100-year floods.
