Abstract

Authors present the financial aspects of the counteraction of the natural disasters’ effects. On the background of the conducted analysis in of Lower Silesian voivodeship (NUTS 2) in Poland, following conclusions can be drawn. Expenses for counteracting the natural disasters’ effects were co-financed from the ecological funds. One of them is the Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. Expenses for the permanent assets serving the water management in Lower Silesian voivodeship in the years 1998-2013 amounted approx. 1.5 billon US dollars indexed to the year 2013. Investing expenses for the low water retention in the area of the examined region in the years 2003-2013 exceeded 19 million US dollars. The range of objects in Lower Silesian voivodeship in the years 2003-2013 amounted 525. Total increasing capacity in the examined period exceeded 5.5 million m3. The share of expenses for removing effects of the natural disasters in the expenditures for public safety, fire and health protection is minimal.
