Abstract

The four priorities for focused action within and across sectors by States at local, national, regional and global levels are: (1) Understanding disaster risk, (2) strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk, (3) investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience, and (4) enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. Seasoned disaster managers stress civil planning implemented as part of the crisis management system, critical infrastructure protection standards, developing issues of business continuity management, as well as scientific and research activities [11,12]. Bearing in mind the so-called “Flood of the millennium in Poland” from 1997, which caused losses to the order of 3.34 billion U.S. dollars, additional floods from May 2010, including annual flooding in the spring and multiple smaller floods, violent storms, rainfall, and hailstorm are observed to be growing in activity of insurance companies and citizens’ awareness. The Agricultural Drought Monitoring System (ADMS) is designed to identify areas at the level of municipalities, where potential losses occurred for crops due to drought conditions which are listed in the “Act on subsidies to insurance of agricultural crops and farm animals”.
