Journal Title: EcoTerra (Journal of Environmental Research and Protection) - Year 2009, Vol 22, Issue 22

Abstract

Floods are extreme hydro meteorological phenomena, which mean that the river has overflowed its banks. The floods of Tîrlişua, which are in fact the objective of the case study in this paper, are surely the biggest disaster ever seen in Bistriţa-Năsăud county and one of the most important in our country in the last years, due to the great number of victims and of material damage, on a very concentrated space. The effects of the floods produced in Tîrlişua on the 20th of June were from the most disastrous. There were 13 human losses, meaning 10 dead persons and 3 persons missing, whose bodies haven’t been discovered not even today. Except the locals’ houses which were damaged and destroyed, many other public buildings had been destroyed: the local hospital - totally destroyed, the medical consultations are taking place, even nowadays, in a simple house; the sports hall was destroyed, too; the Community Cultural Center, the Town hall, the Heroes’ Monument and the Orthodox Church.
