Sažetak
Environmental degradation is present due to the exploitation of water, soil and air, which includes the destruction of ecosystems, the destruction of natural habitats and the reduction of biodiversity to the point of extinction of certain species. Natural causes of degradation affecting the environment are earthquakes, hail, soil erosion, floods, volcanic eruptions, fires, droughts, typhoons, hurricane winds and frost. In the area of Požega-Slavonia County in 2021, damage was reported for four natural disasters, namely: earthquake, flood, hail and frost. On June 6 and 10, rain curves accompanied by thunder caused torrential floods that affected the area of the City of Požega and the Municipality of Velika. In April 2021, extremely low temperatures appeared, which caused the appearance of frost and caused damage to the entire Požega-Slavonia County. The biggest recorded damage caused by a natural disaster in 2021 is hail damage. On June 25, a storm followed by hail hit the area of the City of Požega, the City of Pleternica, the Municipality of Jakšić, the Municipality of Kaptol and the Municipality of Velika, causing great damage. The earthquake is the only one of these disasters that did not occur during 2021, but the report of the damage was received until January 29, 2021. The Government of the Republic of Croatia has provided the funds needed for the complete remediation of damages caused by natural disasters according to the estimated amounts.
