This work presents several segments of the role of the Office of Emergency Management – City of Zagreb regarding the problem of landslides and flood in Zagreb area. One of the segments is analysis of sites for disposal of construction materials from the ruins in the case of strong earthquake in the City of Zagreb. In considering areas for storage of building materials from the ruins of the case of strong earthquake in the Zagreb area, the joint working group of the Office of Emergency Management and the Department of Planning of the City of Zagreb visited the proposed site.
