The GIS support to measures on the ground in case of leakage of liquid pollutant on the road
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Rapant, P. ; Zapletalová, Jana
Accidents on roads associated with the leakage of hazardous substances are one of the major challenges encountered by disaster management. Because of the impossibility of predicting the place and time of the event, then it is necessary in the event of such an accident to proceed in quick succession of steps. They are designed primarily to protect human life and health, and then to minimize to property and environment damage. The paper describes the response to this event using GIS tools and generally available geodata. The simulated accident on the D1 highway near Ostrava is applied as a demonstration example.

Natural hazards and its social consequences
Zapletalová, Jana
Hazards and disasters - both natural and man made - have a broad impact not only on the natural environment, but also cause serious economic and social problems. Conference papers are devoted to the consequences of risky phenomena caused by nature, which include the impact of extreme floods and landslides, and risks that arise due to human activities, eg. the consequences of mining activities.

The possibilities of flash floods prediction
Rapant, P. ; Kolejka, Jaromír ; Inspektor, T. ; Batelková, Kateřina ; Zapletalová, Jana ; Kirchner, Karel
Flash floods are very important natural phenomenon today, which is devoted considerable attention in the general public, the media, the public administration system in the professional community The main characteristic of flash floods from the perspective of crisis management is the short time between the cause (torrential precipitation) and the result (flooding of the territory and the emergence of major damages or even loss of life). Right the shortness of time implies that to save lives it is necessary to obtain a warning of impending danger in the shortest possible time after the cause. To do this, a new methodology that enables to identify streams, which may be the subject of intense water runoff and thus manifestations of flash floods was created (Rapant, et al., 2015).

Geoinformatic support of an efficient scenary for an operative solution of a toxic road accident
Kolejka, Jaromír
Accidents on the road with the release of toxic substances are characterized with a relative unpredictability as with regard to time and place of occurrence. For the operational phase of the problem, the geoinformation support can lies firstly in the early provision of information about the event´s environment, and the availability of assess for the intervention unit, and possibly sufficient minimum amount of time for the primary analysis of the "pollutant-environment" interaction within the meaning of estimating the further development of the event and the selection aof an appropriate place for response. The demonstrated example of distribution of geoinformation support to individual steps is one of possible GIS applications of GIS and spatial data in the procedure of a road toxic accident management.
