2014 Southeast Europe flood
Flooding in the municipality of Gornji Milanovac, Serbia
Date13 May 2014 (2014-05-13)–present
Location Bosnia and Herzegovina – emergency situation declared on entire territory of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina[citation needed] and in the following municipalities of Republika Srpska - Zvornik , Šekovići, Bratunac, Srebrenica, Kotor Varoš, Petrovo as well as in Doboj and Bijeljina cities.[1]
 Serbia – emergency situation declared on entire territory[2][3]
 Romania – red code for flooding established on several large rivers[4]
 Croatia – emergency situation declared in southern parts of Vukovar-Syrmia County, on entire territory of Brod-Posavina County, and in Hrvatska Kostajnica and Dvor in Sisak-Moslavina County.[5][6]
DeathsAt least 50
24 in Bosnia[7][8][9]
20 in Serbia[10]
1 in Romania[11]
1 in Slovakia[12]
2 in Croatia[13][14]

In May 2014, multiple floods affected a large area of Southeastern and Central Europe. A low-pressure area named "Yvette" brought the worst of the flooding from 14–16 May. Rainfall in Bosnia and Serbia was the heaviest in 120 years of recorded weather measurements.[15][16] By 19 May, at least 50 people had died as a result of the flooding, and 30,873 people in Serbia alone have been forced from their homes.[17] Flooding was ongoing with the peak of the flood wave on River Sava expected to pass Belgrade on Wednesday, 21 May.

Landslides have been a major issue causing threats to public safety. Floodwaters caused over 2,000 landslides across the Balkan region on 18 May, spreading damage across multiple towns and villages. A serious dilemma is that such floodwaters have been disturbing and uncovering land mines left over from the 1990s-era Bosnian War.[18]

Meteorological history

Total precipitation between 11 and 17 May

On 13 May, a low-pressure area formed over the Adriatic Sea, as polar air from Central Europe penetrated into the Mediterranean basin. The cold polar air mass met with humid subtropical air, leading to strong low pressure development. On 14 May, the low moved over the Balkans, becoming stationary. As a result, extremely heavy rain fell within the region; Serbia (in the area around Belgrade) and the North of Bosnia-Herzegovina were most affected.[19] Serbian and Bosnian meteorologists gave the name to the formed cyclone calling it ″Tamara″.[20][21] On 18 May, cyclone moved northwestward.[21] On 15 May, the rainfall in Belgrade broke the historical record (175 l from 1897) reaching 205 l.[22]

Heavy rainfall was also experienced in the region on 3 and 4 May, affecting Romania, Italy and Bosnia. A state of emergency was declared in parts of Bosnia by local government. The event produced limited damage but left a number of flooding incidents and high rivers.[23]

Affected regions

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia were most severely affected, with several major cities completely overflown by water. Eastern Croatia and southern Romania also experienced flooding and human victims, while Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Slovakia were affected by the storm.[24]

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Flooding in Zenica pictured 15 May 2014

Most of Bosnia was flooded, with Zenica-Doboj the hardest hit Other impacted areas included Sarajevo Canton.[25] and Tuzla. Northern and northeastern Bosnia, including the region of Semberija, was also flooded. Rivers that flooded included Bosna, Vrbas, Drina, Sana, and Sava. A state of emergency was declared across the nation.[26] Herzegovina and other central regions were not hit by floods.

The town of Maglaj experienced the average rainfall of two months in under 48 hours.[26] In the city of Zavidovići, a footbridge was filmed being swept down the Bosna river and crashing into another bridge.[27] In Sarajevo, the Miljacka river swelled almost to the level of city bridges.[25] The entire village of Parici in Hrasno Donje, municipality Kalesija was swept by landslides.[28]

As of 19 May, there were 27 confirmed deaths in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[26]

The Bosnian government has dealt with the flooding as a serious natural disaster. "The situation is catastrophic," Bosnia's refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic, publicly remarked.[18]

It was speculated that the floodwaters might have disturbed land mines left over from the Bosnian War (1992–95) which could cause further danger if moved outside the marked areas.[18]

Croatia

As reported by The Irish Independent on 18 May, "Large parts of eastern Croatia were underwater... with several villages cut off and hundreds still fleeing the flooded zone in boats and trucks. Refugees were being housed in sports halls and schools, and aid centers were set up to distribute medicine, food, blankets and clothing."[18]
The most critical area is in southern Slavonia. The embankment on the Sava River was breached near Rajevo Selo and Račinovci, so evacuation has been ordered for Gunja, Rajevo selo and Račinovci. As of 19 May, around 15,000 people in easternmost parts of Croatia have been evacuated from their homes.[29] One of the most critical points is the embankment of the Sava river in Slavonski Šamac, where Bosna and Sava confluence is located. At that point embankments are under severe pressure caused by the huge amount of water coming from Bosnia. Several officials stated that if this embankment was breeched, entire soutern Slavonia, region with population over 300 000, would be flooded.[30] There were also floods in Banovina region, in towns of Hrvatska Kostajnica and Dvor, mostly caused by river Una, whose level hasn't been so high since 1955.[6]

Romania

This was the third major flooding to hit Romania since late-April 2014. Over 9000 people are isolated and nearly 2,000 hectares of land are covered by water. 125 villages were affected by floods in one day. In total, 30 national and county roads were closed or partially destroyed by water and mud.[31] The Danube waters rose so much that the authorities set orange code for flooding for eight days, on the sector Iron Gates–Zimnicea.[32] In Vrancea County, a 50-year-old man was taken away by the flood and found dead the next morning.[11] Bucharest was devastated by a storm accompanied by hail and strong winds. Several streets were flooded, trees uprooted, and a thick layer of ice covered important arteries of circulation, paralyzing the traffic in the capital.[33]

Serbia

View of the Sava and Danube confluence in Belgrade, during the flooding

The Serbian Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vučić, has described the flooding as "the worst natural catastrophe that has ever hit Serbia."[34][35] Flood waters on the Sava river hit at 6.3 metres (21 ft), the highest on record.[26] By 19 May, 25,070 people had been evacuated and at least 20 killed.[10]

Transport between Serbia and Montenegro was made difficult by flooding, landslides, high winds and snow.[35] Two hydro-power generators in Serbia were closed due to high waters on the Great Morava river. Coal mining activity was also disrupted by the weather, cutting off supply for Serbia's coal-fired power stations.[35] An estimated 300,000 households were left without power.[36] Serbia's energy minister, Aleksandar Antic, has appealed to individuals to conserve power as best they can.[18]

The city of Obrenovac was hit hardest by the floods, with an estimated 90% of the town flooded.[26] The entire city was evacuated, around 8700 people total.[37] The city is home to the largest thermoelectric power plant in Serbia, TPP Nikola Tesla, which supplies close to 50% of electricity in Serbia, but was saved from danger. TPP Kostolac, which supplies 11% of electricity in Serbia, is threatened by floods from Mlava. Two rings of levies and sandbags were breached, but as of 19 May, the water had not breached the innermost ring of defenses.[38] City centers of Paraćin, Petrovac na Mlavi, Svilajnac and Smederevska Palanka were flooded.[37][39] Peak flood waters were expected to hit Šabac on 18 May. In anticipation of the floods, a 7.3-metre (24 ft)* dam was erected.[26]

During 18 May, the water level dropped, which enabled trucks to carry out evacuation of the citizens in Obrenovac.[40]

In Krupanj the torrent destroyed dozens of houses. Only a few places have electricity, the water is undrinkable and there is danger of landslides.[41] Minister of Trade, Telecommunications and Tourism Rasim Ljajic said that, 8 houses are destroyed and 2 people lost their lives. Around 20 houses are completely uninhabitable and there is also a danger from landslides.[42] Part of the village Rebelj in Valjevo municipality was annihilated by landslides.[43]

Water levels in Belgrade were predicted to peak late on 20 May or early on 21 May.[44]

Aftermath

Officials have said it may take 5 years for agriculture in the affected regions to recover.[105] Managing director of the coal field Kolubara has stated that it will take one year for the Tamnava pit to be dredged and dried, while Veliki Crljeni pit would take around two months to be operational again. He stated that Tamnava pit is now an artificial lake. Kolubara coal fields are open pits from which coal is supplied to the TPP Nikola Tesla. There are enough stockpiles of coal at hand to bridge the period until the coal pits are fully operational, but the delivery system needs repairs.[38]

The European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid Kristalina Georgieva has stated that Croatia and Serbia will have the possibility to apply for aid from the European Union Solidarity Fund, up to one billion euro in one year. The aid can be transferred if the damage is assessed to be over 0.64% of the country's GDP. Bosnia, not being a candidate or member country of the EU, is not eligible for aid from this fund.[106]
