In the
last two decades (1989-2006) the average annual incidence of major disasters
in these countries varied, depending of the type of the hazards that cause
disasters. It seems that floods are most common disasters in the region and
that Serbia and Montenegro is most frequently affected country. Serbia and
Montenegro reported occurrence of flood, wind, and technological disaster
once every two years. However, other countries are affected only once in
every 4-5 years or less. The least frequent disasters in the region are
those caused by earthquake, even the region is known as a seismic vulnerable
region.
